                                          Guidelines For The Safe Use Of EV Charging Stations

Nowadays, new energy vehicles are becoming increasingly common, and they can be seen shuttling quickly on the streets and alleys. Due to the economy and environmental protection of new energy vehicles, as long as the battery is sufficient, they can be driven. However, many citizens do not have enough knowledge of charging safety. We have summarized the three steps to pay attention to when charging for reference.
 

1、 Check before charging

1. Check the charging station and other related equipment, fire equipment, and facilities to keep them clean and dry, and ensure that the equipment is in good condition.

2. Do not let heavy objects press on the power cord or manually step on the power cord. Charging is prohibited in cases where the charging cord is defective, cracked, worn, cracked, or exposed.

3. Check whether the charging gun has been soaked in rainwater, and whether there is water or debris inside the gun. Check and clean the water and debris inside the charging gun, and wipe the gun head clean before use.

4. In case of rainy weather, please try not to charge in the open air to prevent electric leakage and danger. If charging is necessary, pull the gun from the charging station and be careful to prevent rainwater from splashing into the gun head. When moving the gun, be sure to ensure that the muzzle is facing downwards.

Before charging, be sure to read the charging process of the charging station. The charging process of each manufacturer's charging station is different, and carefully read the charging process to avoid smooth charging.

2、 During charging

1. Ensure that the charging gun head is fully connected to the charging gun base, and ensure that the gun lock is locked, otherwise it may cause abnormalities.

2. Do not use any abnormal charging method to suspend charging.

3. Check the charging information inside the vehicle for voltage and current, and confirm whether to start charging.

4. During the charging process, do not drive the vehicle and only charge when stationary. In addition, for hybrid vehicles, please turn off the engine before charging.

5. Do not remove the gun head during the charging process. It is strictly prohibited to touch the charging gun core with your hands when charged.

6. Do not allow children to approach or use the charging station during the charging process to avoid injury.

If there are any abnormal situations during use, immediately press the emergency stop button.

3、 End of charging

1. After fully charging or before the end of charging, first swipe the card to end the charging, then remove the charging gun, cover the cap of the charging gun, hang it on the charging pile hook, place the cable properly on the rack, lock the charging port and car door.

2. In case of rain, it is necessary to ensure that the charging gun is moved with the muzzle facing downwards and inserted back into the gun seat of the charging station.
