The Ultimate Guide to Electric Vehicle Charging Sockets: Safe and Efficient Charging Solutions
Core Functions and Technological Advantages
Smart Charging Management System
Adaptive Current Regulation
The charging socket features an adaptive current regulation mechanism that can accommodate a wide range of current inputs, from 16A to 80A. This ensures seamless compatibility with the diverse battery systems of different vehicle models, providing optimal charging efficiency and performance.
Multi Protocol Compatibility
Designed to support major global charging standards such as J1772, Type1, Type2, CCS, and GB/T, the charging socket can be seamlessly integrated into various charging networks and systems around the world. This eliminates compatibility issues and offers users a more convenient charging experience.
WiFi/Bluetooth Dual Mode Connectivity
With WiFi and Bluetooth dual mode connectivity, users can remotely monitor their vehicle's charging status and set scheduled charging times through a dedicated APP. This feature enhances user convenience and allows for better management of charging processes.
Industrial Grade Protection Design
IP66 Water and Dust Resistance
The charging socket is built with an IP66 rating for water and dust resistance, enabling it to withstand harsh outdoor environments. This allows for safe and reliable charging in various weather conditions, ensuring round the clock usability.
Temperature Monitoring and Protection
An integrated temperature monitoring system continuously tracks the charging socket's operating temperature. In the event of overheating, the system automatically cuts off the power supply to prevent potential hazards and ensure safe usage.
Lightning and Surge Protection
Equipped with a built in 15kV surge protector, the charging socket provides effective protection against lightning strikes and electrical surges. This safeguard enhances the socket's durability and reliability in outdoor installations.
Safety Operation Guidelines
Installation Considerations
Professional Electrician Installation
Installation of the charging socket must be carried out by certified electricians in accordance with recognized NEC/IEC standards. This ensures that all electrical connections and installations meet safety and regulatory requirements.
Circuit Load Testing
Prior to installation, it is essential to conduct a circuit load test to ensure that the existing electrical circuit can support the charging socket's power requirements. The circuit should be capable of handling different load levels (30%, 50%, and 100%) to prevent overloading and potential electrical issues.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Testing
The charging socket includes a GFCI feature for added safety. It is recommended to perform a monthly test of the GFCI function to ensure it is working properly and can effectively protect against ground fault hazards.
Daily Usage Protocols
1. Plug and Unplug Procedures:
Unlock the vehicle's charging port → Connect the charging gun → Swipe the card to start charging.
After charging is complete, stop the charging process via the APP first → Wait for the indicator light to turn green → Disconnect the charging gun.
2. Troubleshooting:
Fault code E01: Immediately cut off the power and check the charging socket's temperature.
Red light flashing: Contact customer service to inspect the relay module.
Typical Application Scenarios
Home Charging Solutions
Garage Wall Mounted Installation
The compact design of the charging socket makes it ideal for wall mounted installations in garages, saving space while providing convenient access for homeowners.
Time of Use Electricity Pricing
By leveraging off peak electricity rates, users can save up to 50% on charging costs. The charging socket's smart management system allows users to schedule charging during periods of lower electricity demand for maximum cost efficiency.
