Electric vehicle charging station steps: 1. Ensure the power is in the OFF position, unlock the vehicle, and open the AC charging socket cover and protective cover; 2. Connect the charging station's vehicle plug to the vehicle socket; 3. Follow the charging equipment's instructions to start charging; 4. The combination instrument will light up the charging connection indicator and display the charging screen; 5. End charging by unlocking the vehicle, setting the charging equipment, or when the battery is fully charged. As the energy supply device for electric vehicles, the charging performance of the charging station affects the battery pack's service life and charging time. The basic principle of electric vehicle charger design is to achieve fast, efficient, safe, and reasonable power replenishment for the power battery, while also considering the charger's applicability to various types of power batteries.
I've been driving an electric car for several years, and charging it is somewhat similar to refueling but simpler. When arriving at a charging station, first find a good spot to park and ensure the charging port is free of dust, especially drying it off on rainy days. Then, take the charging gun, align it with the car's port, and gently push it in until you hear a click, indicating it's locked. Take out your phone, open the dedicated app to scan the QR code for payment or swipe a card to start, then set the charging mode, such as fast charging for 20 minutes or slow charging overnight. During charging, you can use the app to monitor the battery percentage in real-time. I usually sit in the car watching videos or take a walk nearby for fresh air. Once charging is complete, the app will alert you. Remember to manually stop the charging and unlock before pulling out the gun to avoid damaging the port. Always follow safety rules: keep children away from running around the charging station and ensure the ground is dry to prevent electric shock risks. Once you get the hang of these daily operations, it's very convenient, plus it saves money and is eco-friendly.
