How to store an electric vehicle charger correctly after use

When queuing up at a shopping mall charging station to use an electric vehicle charger, the following tips can be adopted to optimize the charging experience:

First, plan and check in advance

Use the charging APP:

Download and install the apps of the charging pile operators in the shopping mall (such as Teldrive, Star Charging, etc.). These apps usually provide real-time location, usage status and charging information of the charging piles.

Before setting off, check the distribution, idle status and charging power of the charging piles in the shopping mall through the APP, and choose the most suitable charging pile.

Avoid peak hours:

The charging piles in shopping malls may be quite busy during peak dining hours (such as lunch and dinner times) and on weekends and holidays.

Try to go for charging during off-peak hours to reduce the time spent queuing.

Second, use charging piles efficiently

Select a fast charging station:

If time is tight, fast charging stations should be given priority. They usually can replenish a large amount of power for electric vehicles in a relatively short period of time.

Prepare payment tools:

Prepare payment tools (such as mobile payment, charging cards, etc.) in advance so that you can complete the payment and start charging quickly after arriving at the charging station.

Comply with charging regulations:

Follow the usage regulations of the charging pile and correctly connect the charging gun and the vehicle charging interface.

During the charging process, do not move the vehicle at will or disconnect the charging connection to avoid affecting the use of other vehicle owners.

Third, optimize the charging experience

Arrange the itinerary reasonably:

If possible, arrange charging during the time periods combined with shopping, leisure and other activities to make full use of the waiting time for charging.

Utilize charging time:

During the charging process, you can rest, have meals or do shopping in the mall, making the waiting time for charging more meaningful.

Pay attention to the charging progress

Monitor the charging progress through the charging APP or the display screen of the charging pile to keep abreast of the completion time of charging in a timely manner.

When the battery is nearly fully charged, get ready to leave in advance to avoid overcharging.

Fourth, dealing with queuing situations

Wait patiently

If you encounter a situation of waiting in line, be patient and abide by the public order of the charging place.

Don't be impatient or have conflicts with others because of waiting.

Flexibly adjust the plan

If you have to wait in line for a long time, you may consider adjusting your shopping or dining plans and choosing other activities to kill time.

Seek help

If you have any questions or encounter difficulties regarding the use of charging piles, you can seek help from the staff of the shopping mall or the customer service of the charging pile operator.

Fifth, use charging piles civilly

Take good care of the charging facilities

When using a charging pile, handle the charging gun and cables with care to avoid damage.

After charging is completed, put the charging gun back in its original position and keep the charging area clean and tidy.

Respect the rights and interests of others

Do not occupy the charging pile for a long time without charging, so as not to affect the use of other car owners.

If you find that the charging pile is occupied but the vehicle is not being charged, you can politely remind the car owner or report the situation to the staff of the shopping mall.

By following the above tips, you can enjoy a more convenient, efficient and pleasant charging experience when queuing up at the charging piles in the shopping mall to use the electric vehicle charger.
