The May Day holiday is one of the major national holidays, with countless people traveling for relaxation and entertainment. Nowadays, an increasing number of people are beginning to own new energy vehicles (NEVs) due to their numerous advantages, including environmental friendliness, high cost-effectiveness, and the growing availability of charging facilities. During the May Day period, many NEV owners face an important issue: how to charge their vehicles scientifically and reasonably during their travels.

In the NEV industry, there are currently multiple charging methods available. Depending on different usage scenarios, we can choose the most suitable charging method. Below, we will introduce these different methods and the most suitable ones to use during the May Day holiday.

Firstly, before traveling, we can consider using slow charging at home or at the office. Slow charging uses low current and high voltage, allowing charging over a longer period, typically six to eight hours. During the long May Day holiday, we can park our vehicles at home or at the office in the evening and charge them overnight to ensure they are fully charged for the trip.

Secondly, DC fast charging stations are a fast and efficient charging method, capable of completing battery charging in a short time, usually around twenty to thirty minutes, allowing the vehicle to travel one to two hundred kilometers. Therefore, during the May Day period, we can plan the locations of charging stations in advance to make full use of these fast-charging sites during our travels.

Additionally, some shopping centers, malls, and hotels have established their own charging stations. Thus, during the May Day period, when parking, we can choose commercial areas with charging equipment around the parking spots. Furthermore, some communities and neighborhoods also have charging facilities, and owners can pre-inquire about this information, reserve charging spots, and charge their vehicles accordingly.

During the May Day period, many tourist attractions also have charging stations with clear indications of charging service times and prices. Therefore, if you plan to stay at these attractions for a while, you can choose to charge at the charging stations while enjoying the scenic views.

In addition to selecting appropriate charging methods, we can also better manage battery power through some high-tech means, such as limiting battery level and lowering air conditioning temperature. Through these optimization methods, we can better control battery consumption, making our travels more enduring and convenient.
