What is the definition of a slow charging port for new energy vehicles?
1 Answers
Definition of slow charging port for new energy vehicles: Slow charging refers to the process where the charger delivers current, and the vehicle's charger converts this current into electrical energy for charging. Difference between slow charging and fast charging: Some vehicles have their fast and slow charging ports located in different positions, so it's necessary to confirm the vehicle's parking position during actual charging. Fast charging adopts a 'simple and direct' method: storing direct current (DC) directly into the power battery; whereas slow charging requires the onboard charger to convert alternating current (AC) into DC before charging the power battery. Advantages of slow charging: Slow charging is stable, safe, and takes a longer time. Conventional charging piles are mostly slow chargers with 220V household voltage, requiring only the plug of the onboard charger to be inserted into a power socket in the parking lot or nearby to start charging. The current and voltage required for slow charging are smaller, making it suitable for civilian circuits, and installation is convenient.
