What is the Difference Between a Home Charging Pile and a Portable Charger?
1 Answers
Home charging piles and portable chargers differ in the following ways: 1. Product Differences: Electric vehicle charging piles and charging stations are two distinct products. A charging pile is fixed to the ground, uses a dedicated charging interface, and employs conductive methods to provide AC power to electric vehicles equipped with onboard chargers. It includes corresponding communication, billing, and safety protection functions. Similar to individual fuel dispensers at gas stations, charging piles are fixed to the ground and charge passing vehicles via card swiping or coin insertion. Charging piles themselves can be further categorized into AC charging piles and DC charging piles. 2. Functional Differences: The function of a charging pile is akin to a fuel dispenser at a gas station. It can be fixed to the ground or walls and installed in public buildings (such as office buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots) and residential community parking lots or charging stations. It can charge various models of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. The input end of the charging pile is directly connected to the AC grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles. Charging piles generally offer two charging methods: standard charging and fast charging. Users can swipe a specific charging card on the human-machine interaction interface provided by the charging pile to select the corresponding charging method, charging time, print billing data, etc. The display screen of the charging pile shows data such as charging amount, cost, and charging time.
