As "Buy a car and get a pile" gradually becomes history, Many car owners need to purchase their own home charging piles. Compared with the "little expensive" original charging piles, everyone has begun to focus on third-party brands such as Longduo. But new questions are coming. In terms of charging power alone, there are three options: 7kW, 11kW, and 21kW. So, do you know which one is suitable for your car? Today, I will teach you how to choose a suitable home charging pile.

 

Here are some key considerations.

 

01 Get to know your car first

 

The choice of charging pile first depends on your electric vehicle. Different models support different charging powers. New energy vehicles are usually equipped with two charging interfaces: an AC charging interface (seven holes) and a DC charging interface (nine holes). Home chargers are usually AC chargers, which convert alternating current into the direct current required by the vehicle's power battery. Therefore, the maximum charging power your vehicle can accept depends on the specifications of the on-board charger, not the charging station itself.

 

02 Choose a charging pile according to your vehicle

 

Once you understand your vehicle's charging needs, choosing a suitable charging pile is much easier. For example, if your car supports 7kW charging power, you only need to apply for a 220V meter. For vehicles that support 11kW or higher, you will need to install a 380V meter.

 

Power Selection

 

- 7kW charging pile: suitable for most household electricity environments, with moderate charging speed.

- 11kW charging pile: requires higher voltage and faster charging speed, suitable for users who need fast charging.

- 21kW charging pile: Provides the fastest charging speed, but has higher installation requirements and may require professional evaluation of the home power system.

03 Pay attention to brand and safety

 

Longduo is one of the leaders. It has designed and produced a variety of charging piles that meet safety standards, such as IP55, IP66 and IP67 protection levels, and provide lightning protection and leakage protection. In addition, Longduo also covers risks such as charging pile construction accidents, charging safety accidents and equipment maintenance, ensuring that users can charge safely and worry-free.

When choosing a brand, product quality, smart features, and after-sales service should be considered. It is recommended to choose a brand with independent R&D and production capabilities and a complete after-sales guarantee system. For example,is one of the leaders.

04 Summarize

 

Choosing a home charging pile is not only about comparing power and price, but also about vehicle compatibility, installation requirements, brand reputation and safety. Once you understand these basic principles, you can choose the most appropriate charging solution for your electric vehicle.

 

 

The Ultimate Guide To Charging Your EV At Home

DC EV charger: it’s a type of charger used to charge electric vehicles by converting AC (Alternating Current) power from the electrical grid to the DC power required by the vehicle’s battery. DC fast chargers, also known as Level 3 chargers, are capable of providing much faster charging times than AC chargers. DC EV chargers use a high-powered charging unit to directly convert the AC power from the electrical grid to the DC power required by the electric vehicle’s battery. This allows the charger to provide a higher charging rate than AC chargers. DC fast chargers typically have a power output of 50 kW to 350 kW, depending on the model and the requirements of the electric vehicle being charged. DC fast charging can charge an EV battery to 80% in as little as 20-30 minutes, making it ideal for long road trips or when time is limited.

Please note that the charging times and methods may vary depending on the type of EV and charging station used.

How to choose the charging pile that suits you?
