Where is the charging port located on the Tianlu car?

It is a round hole, originally where the cigarette lighter was inserted. Remove the cigarette lighter and insert the pointed part of the car charger into it. If the indicator light is on, it means it can be used. Main functions of the USB port: Utilizing the standard power supply in the car, the USB port can be used to charge electrical devices or serve as a fixed power supply interface. The USB port is a type of vehicle transmission cable, featuring advantages such as fast transmission speed, ease of use, support for hot-swapping, flexible connection, and independent power supply. It is generally a universal interface for devices like USB drives and MP3 players. The USB port in the car can be used for: playing music from a USB drive, charging mobile phones and MP3 players, serving as a USB car cigarette lighter interface, connecting to electronic dog devices and dash cams, and charging laptops and tablets. Precautions for using the USB port: Charging should only be done when the car's engine is running to avoid damage to electrical devices due to unstable power supply. Do not connect too many devices to prevent overloading and damaging the car battery and alternator. Avoid using the USB port during thunderstorms to prevent lightning strikes. Do not use the USB port in damp environments, as rust or water stains may cause the USB drive to fail to connect properly.
I've been driving the Tianlu for over a year and am very familiar with the charging port location. It's positioned at the lower left rear of the vehicle, specifically with a round cover on the rear bumper that pops open when pressed. For routine charging, I prefer backing into the garage so the cable connects directly without unnecessary bends. The left-side placement is ideal for roadside parking, minimizing scrape risks. First-time users might need orientation - consult the user manual or try pressing the lightning icon on the cover. There are both fast and slow charging ports available, with fast charging being my go-to for time efficiency. Regular maintenance is advised - keep the cover clean to prevent debris from clogging the interface and affecting charging performance. Overall this layout proves highly functional, though I always perform a quick pre-drive check to ensure proper closure.
When looking for the charging port, check the right side area of the rear bumper, where the Tianlu design is located. Open a small flap just like a fuel filler cap—it opens with a gentle push. The position is away from the wheels to avoid mud splashes, making charging convenient. If you can't find it, try unlocking the car doors first, as some models have safety systems that lock the cover. There are two charging types: DC fast charging and AC slow charging, with different port appearances. Before charging, I ensure the car is parked stably and all power switches are turned off. Remember to regularly maintain the flap spring to prevent rust or jamming. The location near the trunk space doesn't affect the overall design and is quite practical.
When I first bought the Tianlu, the charging port was located at the rear of the car, next to the license plate. A small cover would flip open to reveal the charging socket. It was positioned at the bottom right or left corner, depending on your model. The charging process was straightforward—just plug in the cable and wait for the light to turn on. I usually used it when parking facing a wall, so the cable wouldn’t be too long. If you’re unsure at first, try a few times or ask a friend for help.
