Nowadays, there are more and more new energy vehicles, among which pure electric vehicles account for the majority. Different brands and types of pure electric vehicles not only have different range, but also have different charging methods. Therefore, when purchasing pure electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles, we should pay attention to asking whether they can only be charged through charging piles? What other charging methods are there besides car charging stations?
The following common charging methods:
One is to use a portable charger that comes with the car. Electric vehicles are equipped with portable chargers that allow owners to charge their vehicles through a household power source, with the main feature being convenience. But its slow charging speed is a bit maddening and can only be used as an alternative way to recharge.
The second is a household charging station. When purchasing an electric vehicle, a home charging station is usually provided as a gift along with the vehicle, and technical personnel will be arranged to install and debug it on site. This charging method has a reasonable charging time, which may vary depending on the vehicle brand and model, but the premise is that there must be a parking space and the property allows you to install a home charging station in the parking space.
The third is public charging stations. The advantage of this charging method is that it can choose between DC fast charging and AC slow charging according to the actual situation, and only supports DC fast charging in certain areas. However, the disadvantage is also very obvious. Public charging stations are currently under construction and difficult to find, and once found, they are not easy to occupy. The queue is so long that people collapse, and the charging cost is high.
The fourth step is to replace the battery. Specially trained technicians can replace batteries within 2-10 minutes using fully automatic or semi-automatic technology, achieving a speed comparable to refueling fuel vehicles. However, the drawbacks of this method are also obvious, as it can only be operated by professionals in professional locations, and the batteries replaced are uneven, which is worrying.
The fifth is portable mobile fast charging. This is also the ultimate trick to meet all the above needs: small size, light weight, easy to carry, fast charging!! Multiple power options available: 7kW/13kW/15kW/30kW. A family sedan can be fully charged in just one hour, so you can bring one with you wherever you go.
Overall, the charging methods for electric vehicles are flexible and diverse, and can be scientifically and reasonably selected according to one's actual situation. This can not only ensure the normal use of electric vehicles, but also save charging costs and be cost-effective.
