The usage norms of electric vehicle chargers in shared charging piles

The usage norms of electric vehicle chargers in shared charging piles mainly include three aspects: preparation before charging, operation during the charging process, and post-charging treatment. The following is a detailed explanation:

First, preparations before charging

Confirm the match between the vehicle and the charging pile:

Make sure the type of the vehicle's charging interface matches the charging gun of the charging pile. The common types of charging interfaces include AC slow charging and DC fast charging. The appropriate charging pile should be selected based on the vehicle's requirements.

Check the charging equipment and environment:

Check whether the charging interface is normal and intact. Before charging the vehicle, conduct a check, including confirming the connection between the charging equipment and the electric vehicle and the Settings of the charging parameters.

Ensure that the charging piles and other related equipment, fire-fighting equipment, facilities and equipment are kept clean and dry, and in good condition.

Do not let heavy objects press on the power cord or step on it by people. Do not charge when the charging wire has defects, cracks, wear, breaks or is exposed.

Check whether the charging gun has been soaked by rain and whether there is any accumulated water or debris inside the gun. If so, remove the accumulated water and debris from the charging gun before use.

Prepare the payment method:

Shared charging piles usually support multiple payment methods, such as scanning codes for payment and swiping cards for payment. It is necessary to prepare the corresponding payment methods in advance and understand the charging standards of the charging piles.

Second, operation during the charging process

Connect the charging gun correctly:

Park the vehicle near the charging pile, and make sure the side of the charging port is close to the position of the charging pile.

Open the cover plate of the vehicle's charging interface, remove the charging gun from the charging pile, and insert it into the vehicle's charging interface to ensure a secure connection. When inserting the charging gun, make sure the direction is correct to avoid forcing it in and causing damage.

Select charging method and payment:

Select the appropriate charging method on the charging pile screen, such as charging by amount, charging by time or until fully charged, etc.

According to the selected charging method, complete the payment using the corresponding payment method.

Monitor the charging process:

The charging progress and charging fees can be checked in real time through the display screen of the charging pile or the mobile phone APP.

Make sure the charging gun head is fully connected to the charging gun base and ensure the gun lock is locked; otherwise, it may cause an abnormality.

Do not use any abnormal methods to stop charging. If there is a problem, stop charging first.

During the charging process, the vehicle should not be in motion. Charging can only be carried out when it is stationary. For hybrid vehicles, please turn off the engine before charging.

It is strictly prohibited to remove the gun head during the charging process. It is also strictly prohibited to touch the charging gun core with hands when it is powered on.

Third, post-charging treatment

End charging and unplug the gun:

After the charging is completed, first finish the charging operation on the charging pile. Wait for the prompt sound that disconnects the charging gun from the vehicle to sound, and then gently pull out the charging gun.

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

Organize the charging equipment:

Put the charging gun back on the gun holder of the charging pile and organize the charging cable properly to avoid affecting the use of other users.

In case of rainy days, it is necessary to ensure that the charging gun has its muzzle facing down and is inserted back into the gun socket of the charging pile during movement.

Payment of fees and departure

Make sure the charging fee has been paid to avoid arrears. If you encounter problems such as a malfunction of the charging pile or damage to the charging gun during the charging process, you should immediately stop charging and contact the charging pile operation and maintenance personnel or customer service.

After the full charge is completed or the charging is ended earlier, you should leave the parking space in time to avoid occupying the charging pile for a long time.
