What is the difference between V and SOC on electric vehicles?
1 Answers
In electric vehicles, V represents the voltage indicator of the battery, with the preceding number indicating the voltage in volts. SOC stands for the State of Charge, which indicates the remaining battery power. It can be set to prioritize electricity usage when the remaining power is greater than the SOC. Below are detailed explanations about V and SOC: Correct usage of V in electric vehicles: Ensure the AC power supply matches the charger's input voltage; confirm that the charger's output voltage aligns with the battery's rated voltage; first connect the charger to the battery pack plug, then plug in the AC power plug; the charger should be used indoors, with attention to moisture and shock prevention; avoid covering during charging and place it in a well-ventilated area; the battery should not be charged at all times. Introduction and use of SOC: SOC, or State of Charge, represents the current available battery capacity as a percentage of the total battery capacity. In HEV mode, the vehicle will charge the power battery through driving to maintain the SOC at a certain point, which is defined as the SOC target point. Setting the SOC target point aims to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction during the driving of new energy vehicles, with a key point being to avoid "fuel charging." The correct approach to avoid this situation is to maintain the SOC between 15%-25% upon reaching the destination or when charging is possible, ensuring driving quality while conserving energy and reducing emissions.
