Types and Differences of Charging Piles for Common New Energy Electric Vehicles

The problems caused by charging piles become more and more frequent with the increase of vehicles, but in daily life, do you know what types of charging piles are there? Here's an introduction to the types of charging piles that we commonly see.

1. Classified by installation conditions, it is mainly divided into vertical charging piles and wall-mounted charging piles.

Vertical charging piles are suitable for outdoor parking spaces or residential parking spaces without relying on the wall, while wall-mounted charging piles must be fixed by the wall, and are suitable for indoor and underground parking spaces.

2. Classified by service objects, it is mainly divided into public charging piles, special charging piles and self-use charging piles.

Public charging piles are set up by public service organizations such as government agencies, and the service targets are for any electric vehicle owners, such as public parking lots.

Most of the special charging piles are built by enterprises, serving customers and insiders, such as shopping mall parking lots.

Self-use charging piles are private charging piles, installed in private areas and not open to the public.

3. Classified according to the protection level of the installation site, it is mainly divided into indoor charging pile and outdoor charging pile.

The protection level of indoor charging pile needs to reach at least IP32, while outdoor charging pile needs to face the harsh environment of wind and rain, which requires better insulation and lightning protection conditions. Its protection level needs to reach at least IP54 to ensure personal safety, car body safety and charging equipment safety.

(IP is an international code used to identify the protection level. The IP level consists of two numbers, the first of which means dustproof; The second number is waterproof, and the larger the number, the better the protection level. )

4. Classified by the number of charging interfaces, it is mainly divided into one charging and one charging.

At present, one charging pile is the main charging pile in the market. In large parking lots such as bus parking lots, multiple charging piles are needed to support the charging of multiple electric vehicles simultaneously, which not only speeds up the charging efficiency, but also saves labor.

5. Classified by charging type, it is mainly divided into AC charging pile and DC charging pile.

AC charging piles generally have low current, small pile body, flexible installation and 6-8 hours of full charge. They are suitable for small passenger electric vehicles, and are mostly used in public parking lots, shopping malls and community garages. Domestic charging piles are also mostly AC charging piles. However, DC charging piles generally have high current, larger charging capacity in a short time, larger pile body and larger occupied area (heat dissipation). The DC charging pile is suitable for fast DC charging of electric buses, CMB, hybrid buses, electric cars, taxis, engineering vehicles, etc.
