It's cold, what should I pay attention to when charging electric vehicles?

Keep the charging plug clean.

Always keep the charging plug clean and dry. If the charging plug is charged in dusty or humid conditions, it will cause damage to the vehicle. Therefore, when using public charging piles in large parking lots, attention should be paid to checking whether the charging plugs are clean.

It is recommended to charge slowly.

Many new energy owners think that it takes a long time to use slow charging, so they choose fast charging. But compared with fast charging, slow charging can better protect the battery pack and prolong its service life. If you are in a hurry to charge, you can use fast charge. If slow charging at night can meet the demand of the car for the next day, try to use slow charging as much as possible. Reasonable distribution of fast and slow charging is the key to maintain the battery pack.

New energy vehicles also need "hot cars"

Speaking of the word "hot car", everyone is familiar with it, but few people can associate it with new energy vehicles. In fact, not only gasoline cars need hot cars, but also electric cars need hot cars. Especially in the north, the temperature is below 0 degrees in winter night, and the battery temperature will also be affected if the vehicle is left at such a low temperature for one night. Therefore, it is best to wait 1 for 2 minutes when using the car the next day, so that the circuit and battery pack of the vehicle can be warmed up, which can better prolong the service life of the vehicle.

When the vehicle is idle, it should also be charged regularly.

When the vehicle is idle for a long time, it should be fully charged and parked. If it is not fully charged, the battery pack will be in a power-off state. When the vehicle stops in this state, the battery pack is prone to chemical reaction, which leads to the decrease of battery capacity. The longer the vehicle idles, the more serious the damage to the battery pack will be. Therefore, in order to keep the battery pack in good condition, it is necessary to ensure regular charging when the vehicle is idling.

Correctly grasp the charging time

After the new car is put forward, it is necessary to supplement the electric energy and keep the battery fully charged. In the process of use, we should accurately grasp the charging time according to the actual situation, refer to the usual frequency and mileage, and correctly grasp the charging time.

When driving normally, if the meter indicates that the red light and yellow light are on, it should be charged; If only the red light is on, stop running and charge as soon as possible. Overdischarge will shorten the battery life.
