What are the steps for charging at an electric vehicle charging station?

Set the power gear to OFF, unlock the entire vehicle, and open the cover and protective cap of the AC charging socket. Connect the charging plug provided with the charging station to the vehicle socket, follow the instructions on the charging equipment to operate, and start charging. The dashboard will light up the charging connection indicator and display the charging screen. Charging can be ended once the battery is fully charged.
When I first bought my electric car, I was a bit flustered the first time I used a public charging station. First, I parked in an empty spot nearby, checked that the charging port on the car was free of dust or moisture, then unplugged the charging gun and aligned it to insert into the car, hearing a click to confirm it was securely connected. I opened the mobile app to scan the QR code on the charging station, and after starting the charge, I watched the screen display the battery percentage slowly increasing. While waiting for the charge, I rested in the car or monitored the progress via the app, making sure not to forget to lock the doors since the car couldn’t be moved. After about 40 minutes, the app notified me that the battery was full, so I tapped to stop the charging and then unplugged the gun to return it to its place. The whole process was simple but required patience. After learning the ropes, I prefer going later to use fast-charging stations to save time.
