Why Can't Many Charging Piles Be Used for the Denza X?
3 Answers
Denza X cannot use many charging piles and needs to go to new charging piles. The following is a related introduction to charging piles: Function: Charging piles (plugs) can achieve timed charging, electricity metering, and cost calculation, serving as a terminal for citizens to purchase electricity. At the same time, to improve the efficiency and practicality of public charging piles (plugs), functions such as multi-charging from a single pile (plug) and charging for electric bicycles will be gradually added in the future. Technical Implementation: As an energy replenishment device for electric vehicles, the charging performance of electric vehicle charging piles is related to the service life and charging time of the battery pack. This is also one of the aspects that consumers are most concerned about before purchasing an electric vehicle. The basic principle of electric vehicle charger design is to achieve fast, efficient, safe, and reasonable power replenishment for the power battery. In addition, the applicability of the charger to various power batteries must also be considered.
I encountered the frustration of incompatible charging piles when driving the Denza X before, with the key issue likely being charging protocol mismatch. The Denza X uses the domestically common GB/T fast-charging standard, but some charging stations, especially older ones or private piles from smaller brands, might operate on the European CCS protocol or outdated versions, causing handshake failures that prevent charging initiation. Another factor is software bugs, such as unupdated vehicle systems or error codes from the charging pile's controller, often manifesting as showing connection but no charging. I've dealt with this multiple times during long trips: first, use apps like State Grid or TELD to check pile status in advance and choose highly-rated reliable stations; then ensure timely OTA updates for the vehicle software, as many compatibility issues disappear after updates. Regular maintenance to keep the charging port clean is also important. Overall, the EV charging network is still in its development phase, and while these minor setbacks are annoying, they can be avoided with careful planning.
The most frustrating issue with the Denza X charging pile compatibility is the protocol mismatch. It uses GB/T DC fast charging, but some charging piles either have incompatible hardware or voltage deviations, causing them to malfunction. After driving this car for over six months, I found that prioritizing well-known brands like State Grid or Telaidian can mostly resolve the issue, but private or poorly maintained stations often cause problems. Personally, I make it a habit to check the car owner's APP for shared experiences to confirm compatible charging points before long trips, avoiding wasted time and effort in unfamiliar areas. Additionally, vehicle software updates are crucial—after last year's OTA update, my car's compatibility improved significantly. If charging fails, simple steps like unplugging and replugging the charging gun or restarting the vehicle's APP might help. Overall, as industry standards become more unified, such issues will become increasingly rare.
