Should I Buy a Charging Pile for New Energy Vehicles Myself?
2 Answers
New energy vehicle charging piles can be purchased by individuals, or you can use public charging piles. According to the new national standard, the charging plug standards for different vehicle models are the same. Although there may be differences in voltage and power, theoretically, they can be used on the same charging pile. The following is related information about new energy vehicles: 1. Introduction to New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in advanced technical principles and featuring new technologies and structures. 2. Classification of New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles include: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), hydrogen engine vehicles, as well as gas vehicles, alcohol ether vehicles, etc.
When I first got my new energy vehicle, I was also worried about the charging pile. The manufacturer does provide a basic charging pile, but the power is usually only 7kW. I upgraded to a 20kW fast charging pile myself, which cost over 5,000 yuan, and the property management also required a 2,000 yuan deposit during installation. It's recommended to apply for an electric meter capacity upgrade two weeks before picking up the car, which can be done on the State Grid APP. Third-party charging piles are half the price, but the warranty is only two years, which is not as worry-free as the original five-year warranty.
