New energy vehicles are loved by more and more car owners for their low-carbon, environmentally friendly and good driving experience. With the arrival of the hot summer, the correct charging method can ensure the endurance and driving safety of new energy vehicles. So what are the precautions for charging new energy vehicles in summer?
1. Avoid charging immediately after high temperature exposure
After the vehicle is exposed to high temperature, the temperature of the power box will rise, and the temperature of the battery will also rise. If it is charged immediately, it may accelerate the aging and damage of the lines in the car, causing fire. After using the car, do not charge it immediately. It is best to let the vehicle stand for a while to allow the battery to fully dissipate heat before charging.
2. Avoid open-air charging on rainy days
If a lightning strike occurs when charging a tram on rainy days, it is very likely to hit the charging line, which will generate huge current and voltage, causing damage to the battery, or even greater losses.
When parking, try to choose a higher location. On rainy days, check whether the charging gun has been soaked in rainwater, whether there is water or debris in the gun, and wipe the gun head clean before use.
When the charging gun is inserted into or unplugged from the car charging socket, it must be covered with rain gear to prevent rain from splashing into the charging gun and the car charging socket.
3. Avoid increasing the charge load when charging
When charging, we should not do things that will increase the charge load inside the battery, such as turning on the air conditioner in the car while charging.
For pure electric vehicles, when charging in slow charging mode, you can use the in-car electrical appliances, but this will consume power and cause the charging time to be extended again.
If the pure electric vehicle uses the fast charging mode, it is best not to use the in-car electrical appliances at this time. Because the fast charging mode is achieved by increasing the current, and if the in-car electrical appliances are used at this time, it is likely to cause damage to the electrical appliances due to excessive current.
4. Try to avoid people in the car when charging
Charging will cause interference, the human body and mobile phones will be affected, and the radiation will be quite large.
5. Choose a charging pile that meets the national standard for charging
Learn to charge and discharge reasonably and safely, and avoid overcharging, over-discharging or undercharging. It is forbidden to place flammable and explosive liquids in the car when charging to avoid explosions.
6. Try to choose a cool and ventilated place to charge.
Long-term exposure to the sun outdoors in summer will cause the vehicle temperature to rise, which will lead to an increase in the temperature of the power battery. This is especially important for some pure electric vehicles without a temperature management system.
High temperature will accelerate the aging of the lines in the car and bring potential dangers, so try to choose charging piles in underground parking lots or cool places to help extend the life of the power battery. Low carbon and environmental protection, safety is the most important. Choose the right charging method to prepare your car for summer travel with more peace of mind.
