Key points for maintaining electric vehicle chargers in special places

The key points for maintaining electric vehicle chargers in special places (such as damp, dusty, high-temperature, low-temperature and other environments) are as follows:

Moisture-proof and waterproof

On damp or rainy days, make sure the charging gun tip and the electric vehicle socket are dry to prevent moisture from entering. If the charging gun or cable is defective, cracked, worn, broken or exposed, it must never be charged.

When charging in the rain, it is necessary to clear the accumulated water and debris inside the gun. When moving, keep the gun muzzle facing down. When reinserting, cover it to prevent water from entering.

Dust-proof cleaning

Regularly clean the dust inside the charging equipment to prevent dust accumulation from affecting heat dissipation and electrical performance.

Gently wipe the charging port and the casing with a clean soft cloth. Avoid using cleaning agents containing corrosive substances.

Temperature control

In high-temperature environments, ensure that the charger is well-ventilated to prevent performance degradation or damage caused by overheating.

In low-temperature environments, pay attention to the startup and operation of the charger to avoid reduced charging efficiency or equipment failure due to low temperatures.

Shockproof and impact-proof

In places where vibration or impact may occur, install anti-collision devices such as anti-collision posts or guardrails to protect the charger from damage.

When using a mobile charger, wrap it well with packaging materials such as foam plastic to prevent the internal components from loosening or getting damaged due to jolts and vibrations.

Electrical safety

Regularly check whether the electrical connection of the charger is firm to avoid loosening or poor contact that may cause heating or fire.

Use standard-compliant cables and plugs, and avoid using damaged or aged electrical components.

Software update and monitoring

Regularly check the software version of the charger, and promptly carry out system updates and upgrades to ensure that functions and performance are optimized.

For smart chargers, fault diagnosis and early warning can be carried out through a remote monitoring platform to promptly identify and solve problems.

Emergency preparedness

In special places, emergency response plans should be formulated, including measures to deal with unexpected incidents such as equipment failure, fire and electric leakage.

Equip with necessary fire-fighting equipment and emergency tools, such as fire extinguishers and insulating gloves, and organize regular drills.
