    1、 Will using electric vehicle fast charging charger hurt the battery?  

    Compared with gasoline vehicles, pure electric vehicles have an obvious weakness in charging speed. Gasoline cars generally can fill up the whole fuel tank in a few minutes, but pure electric vehicles need several times or even ten times the time to charge. In view of this, pure electric vehicle enterprises follow the example of mobile phones and are also equipped with fast charging function. Many pure electric vehicle brands claim that they can charge the car to 80% in half an hour, which is enough to meet normal use. But we are still worried about whether the use of electric vehicle fast charging charger will cause any problems? Will it hurt the battery?


    2、  The use of electric vehicle fast charging charger does not affect the service life.

     In fact, many people think that mobile phone fast charging will damage the battery. Therefore, the use of electric vehicle fast charging charger for pure electric vehicles will also damage the battery. But here is a problem: the fast charging of mobile phones, especially those with more than 30W super fast charging, is actually very close to the bearing limit of mobile phone batteries. Under such a limit charging speed, it is inevitable for mobile phone batteries to accelerate aging. But the battery of pure electric vehicle is tens of kilowatts, which is not the same order of magnitude as that of thousands of milliamps of mobile phone. Even the super fast charging power of the current mainstream pure electric vehicle is only equivalent to the 5v1a in the smartphone at best. The damage to the battery of pure electric vehicle is basically negligible.

    3、 Will fast charging with electric vehicle charger explode?

    The so-called fast charging will explode. In fact, it is still a direct analogy between pure electric vehicles and mobile phones. There was indeed an explosion in the mobile phone, but it had nothing to do with charging. It was caused by the design defect of the mobile phone itself. Although fast charging may cause the battery to heat up, according to the above, the fast charging of pure electric vehicles using electric vehicle fast charging chargers is actually far from the limit of the vehicle battery itself. The heating caused by fast charging is far more than burning pure electric vehicles. On the contrary, some pure electric vehicles have their own design defects, which will indeed lead to a sudden fire and explosion when charging with electric vehicle fast charging charger, but this is a design defect like mobile phones. To sum up, the use of electric vehicle fast charging charger does not affect the normal use of pure electric vehicles. It is safe to charge. But there are also some things worth noting. First of all, it's best not to charge in rainstorm, although it's no problem. When choosing charging piles, you should also be careful. Those charging piles that are very old and broken at first sight are at risk of leakage, so you'd better not use them. If possible, it's better to go to the commercial area or special charging area for charging. The charging piles there will have better general maintenance conditions.
