What are the regulations for installing electric vehicle charging stations?
1 Answers
There are different regulations for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in AC charging and DC charging sections. AC Charging Section: The use of direct cables with ordinary household plugs that pose safety hazards is prohibited. Charging methods exceeding 16 amps require the installation of electronic locks and temperature sensors on both the vehicle socket and the power supply socket. DC Charging Section: Electronic locks must be installed inside the DC charging gun, and the mechanical structure for adding electronic locks to the vehicle socket must be reserved. In addition, both the vehicle and the facility must have detection and alarm functions. To prevent electric leakage accidents, it is stipulated that both the charger and the vehicle must have insulation detection and energy discharge functions. To improve compatibility between facilities and vehicles and charging efficiency, the classification of charging voltages is specified. DC charging adds communication version control, clarifying charging sequence logic and time definitions. Charging stations function similarly to fuel dispensers in gas stations. They can be fixed on the ground or walls and installed in public buildings (such as public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots) and residential community parking lots or charging stations. They can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. The input end of the charging station is directly connected to the AC power grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles.
