How to charge an electric car best?

It is best to charge an electric car when the power reaches a quarter.

When charging an electric car, try to ensure that the remaining battery power is about 25% to 35% at a time, that is, 1 to 2 grids. At this time, charging will not crystallize the lead plate of the battery, which is more conducive to protecting the battery and can increase the battery life by about 1 year.

It should be noted that electric vehicles cannot be charged after riding. Many people have experienced long-distance cycling and found little motivation when they got home. The first reaction is to charge the electric car, which is actually harmful to the battery, especially when the weather is hotter.

The electric vehicle that has just finished riding should be left standing for 20 to 30 minutes, waiting for the battery to return to normal under high temperature environment. At this time, recharging is more conducive to protecting the loss of electrolyte, which can make the battery last for about half a year to 1 year.

Matters needing attention in electric vehicle charging

1, the charger output voltage should match the battery capacity; If the output voltage of the charger is too high, the battery will be overcharged and damaged; If the output voltage of the charger is too low, it cannot be fully charged. Generally speaking, it is recommended to buy original or better brand chargers. In addition, check whether the motor turns correctly (forward or reverse).

2. Plug in the power plug before charging the electric car, and then connect the power socket of the battery. Otherwise, it may burn out the battery or cause a fire accident.

3. Don't charge the electric car in direct sunlight; Do not expose the battery to high temperature or humid environment (such as car wash, etc.). ), otherwise it will lead to chemical reaction inside the battery, leading to short circuit or even explosion.
