The Ultimate Guide to Charging New Energy Electric Vehicles!

All About Charging

Slow Charging (3.7-22kW): The top choice for home charging stations. Plug it in overnight, wake up to a full charge. Gentle on the battery, perfect for daily commutes.

Fast Charging (30-350kW): Reaches 80% charge in 30 minutes. Great for emergencies on long trips, but avoid frequent use as it's less battery-friendly.

Charging Port Standards:

Domestic vehicles use the Chinese standard (GB/T). For imported vehicles, verify whether they require the European or American standard to avoid purchasing the wrong charger.

Charging Procedure & Safety Tips

Steps:

Check charging port → Turn off engine → Plug in → Start charging via app → Unplug after charging completes.

Safety Precautions:

Do not remain in the vehicle while charging. During rainy weather, charge under shelter whenever possible.

Maintain battery levels between 20%-80%. Avoid frequent full charges or complete discharges.

Battery Maintenance Tips

Slow-charge at least once weekly to balance battery cells.

Avoid direct sunlight in summer. Preheat battery before charging in winter.

For long-term storage: Keep 50% charge and recharge every 1-2 months.

Fully charge every 3-6 months to calibrate the Battery Management System (BMS).

Charging Cost Comparison

Home Charging Station: ¥0.3-0.6/kWh, most economical for daily use.

Public Charging Station: ¥1.0-2.5/kWh, cheaper during off-peak night hours.

Actual Power Consumption: A 60kWh battery requires approximately 63-66 kWh to fully charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Fast Charging Damage the Battery?** Occasional use is fine, but frequent fast charging accelerates battery degradation. Prioritize slow charging for regular use.

What's the Optimal Charge Level for Recharging?** Recharge when the battery is at 20%-30%, and stop at 80%-90%. Avoid fully charging every time.

Can I Use the Air Conditioning While Charging?** Yes, but it will extend charging time. Avoid using it during extreme weather (very hot/very cold).

Can I charge during rain or snow?** Waterproof designs allow charging, but never charge during thunderstorms!

Emergency Procedures

Charging triggers an alarm?** Stop charging immediately and contact customer service.

Electrical leakage or smoke?** Cut power instantly, move away from the vehicle, and call 911!

One-Sentence Summary

Slow charge to preserve battery life; use fast charging only for emergencies. Safety first—always follow the manual!
