The principle of an electric vehicle charger lies in converting electrical energy into chemical energy to charge the vehicle. Typically, this involves converting alternating current to direct current, which is then transmitted to the EV's battery for charging. This conversion process is carried out by the converter within the charger.
Currently, new energy vehicles have drawn significant attention and are a key area of development this year. The emergence of new energy vehicles offers more choices, with a variety of vehicle forms. They are more like a fusion of advanced technology and automobiles, enabling users to have a more enjoyable driving experience. Among them, the charging issue is of crucial importance in electric vehicles. Now, let's have a brief look at the charging pile. How much do you think you know about it?
It functions similar to a fuel dispenser at a gas station. It can be installed either on the ground or on the wall and is commonly placed in public buildings (such as public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.), as well as in the parking lots or charging stations within residential communities. It is capable of charging different types of electric vehicles according to various voltage levels. The input end of the charging pile is directly connected to the AC power grid, and the output end is usually equipped with a charging plug for charging the electric vehicle. Most charging stations offer both regular and fast charging options. By using a specific recharge card and swiping it on the human-computer interaction interface provided by the charging pile, relevant charging method, charging time, and cost data can be printed. The display screen of the charging pile can show data such as the charging amount, cost, and charging time.
For electric vehicles, battery charging equipment is an essential subsystem. Its main function is to transform the electrical energy from the grid into the electrical energy suitable for the electric vehicle battery. There are different classification methods for car charging devices. Generally, they can be divided into on-board charging devices and off-board charging devices.
The on-board charging device is installed on the electric vehicle and uses the ground AC power grid and on-board power supply to charge the battery pack. It includes an on-board charger, an on-board charging generator set, and a running energy recovery charging device. The AC power cord with a plug is directly inserted into the charging socket of the electric vehicle to charge the battery. Generally, the on-board charging device adopts a contact charger with a simple structure and easy adjustment or an inductive charger. It is highly customized according to the type of vehicle battery, with a well-designed and highly targeted nature. Off-board charging devices, also known as ground charging devices, include special chargers, special charging stations, universal chargers, public charging stations, etc. They can accommodate various charging methods for different batteries. Generally, the power, size, and weight of off-board chargers are relatively large to adapt to diverse charging requirements.
