Is It Normal for the Charging Plug of New Energy Vehicles to Get Hot?

[VonElliott]

It is abnormal for the charging plug of new energy vehicles to get hot. The development of new energy vehicles is progressing rapidly, and the issue of charging plugs overheating in early models has been addressed through the following three improvements: Special Materials: Modern new energy vehicles use new high-temperature-resistant materials for charging interfaces. These materials not only withstand high temperatures but also have excellent heat dissipation properties, significantly reducing heat generation at the charging interface. Thermal Management Chip: A thermal management chip is installed on the circuit module of the charging interface. When the vehicle is charging, this chip controls the current input to the charging interface. Cooling Fan: New energy vehicles are equipped with built-in cooling fans at the charging interface. When the interface temperature reaches a warning threshold, the fan actively cools the interface, making the heat issue fully controllable.
