Why does the charging pile connect but fail to charge?
2 Answers
Charging pile connection without charging is usually caused by faults in the charging equipment or electric vehicle. Here is relevant information about charging piles: 1. Introduction: The function of charging piles is similar to fuel dispensers in gas stations. They can be fixed on the ground or walls, installed in public buildings, residential community parking lots, or charging stations, and 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. 2. Charging methods: Charging piles generally provide two charging methods: regular charging and fast charging. Users can swipe specific charging cards on the human-machine interaction interface provided by the charging pile to select corresponding charging methods, charging time, print cost data, etc. 3. Display screen: The display screen of the charging pile can show data such as charging amount, cost, and charging time.
As someone who frequently deals with electric vehicle issues, I've found that when a charging station fails to connect, the most common problem is the charging gun not being securely latched into the port, often due to dirt or looseness causing poor contact. Secondly, vehicle settings like activated scheduled charging can be mistakenly interpreted as charging prohibition; a system restart usually resolves this. Additionally, faults in the charging station itself are not uncommon, such as power abnormalities or being locked by the backend system—trying another station often helps. Vehicle-related issues, like an overheated battery management system, may also interrupt charging. Safety first: never tamper with voltage issues yourself; it's best to have a professional repair shop inspect the circuit and port to avoid potential fire hazards. Regular cleaning of the gun head and port can help extend their service life.
