Is it okay to use the air conditioning while charging a new energy vehicle?
2 Answers
New energy vehicles can use the air conditioning while charging. However, it is generally not recommended to turn it on, as using the air conditioning during the charging process increases the internal charge load on the power battery pack of the new energy electric vehicle. This causes the battery pack to continue working before it is fully charged, significantly accelerating the battery degradation of the power battery pack. Charging precautions: During the charging process, the battery capacity of the power battery pack in a new energy electric vehicle is fixed. However, if the air conditioning is used, it will continuously consume power, thereby prolonging the entire charging process.
As a car enthusiast, I understand that using air conditioning while charging a new energy vehicle is indeed feasible, as the design is meant to make driving more user-friendly. The air conditioning system typically operates independently and does not directly interfere with the charging process, but it increases power consumption, extending charging time by about 10%, especially during hot or cold weather when the load is higher. Battery temperature management is crucial, and modern vehicles are equipped with heat pump systems to prevent overheating. However, frequent use of this feature may accelerate battery aging, potentially reducing its lifespan by three to four years. I recommend using it only when necessary, such as briefly turning it on during extreme summer heat, and avoiding prolonged full-load operation to balance comfort and protecting your investment. Regularly keeping windows clean and performing routine vehicle inspections can help minimize additional energy consumption.
