9 Key Factors That Cannot be Ignored When Choosing An EV Charging Gun

What core features should a high-performance electric vehicle charging gun or charging pile have? The following are key features worth paying attention to when purchasing.

1. Intelligent Control Functions to Enhance User Experience

Today's smart charging devices are no longer just "able to charge”. The top configuration is usually equipped with wireless network or Bluetooth control function, and remote management and status monitoring through APP.

2. Wide compatibility with a wide range of vehicles

Not all electric vehicles are compatible with all charging guns. When purchasing alternating current (AC) charging products, be sure to confirm that the interface type, voltage and current match. In addition, the support for card start, remote start-stop and rechargeable IC card function also makes the operation more flexible and convenient.

3. Timed charging and appointment charging, flexible arrangement of power consumption

Equipped with timed charging function, it is convenient for users to arrange charging time according to the fluctuation of electricity price to reduce electricity expenses. If the vehicle is parked for a long time, set the charging plan in advance.

4. Safety protection system to ensure the use of peace of mind

Overload, short-circuit, over-voltage and under-voltage conditions are risks that may be faced during the charging process. High-quality charging guns should be built-in multiple electrical protection system, and can immediately cut off power in the event of sudden abnormalities.

5. Temperature sensing function to ensure equipment stability

Fluctuations in the power system may cause equipment overheating, especially in high temperature or frequent use of the environment is particularly common. The charger with temperature monitoring can automatically disconnect the power supply when the temperature is abnormal to avoid equipment overheating and damage.

6. Automatic fault detection reduces maintenance costs

A smart charging device should have a self-test function, which can automatically recognize and try to repair when there is a glitch, so as to extend the service life.

7. Authoritative certification to ensure product reliability

Certification not only represents product compliance, but also a strong guarantee of safety performance. Consumers should pay attention to whether the product has passed CE, RoHS, TUV and other relevant certifications when purchasing.

8. Self-supporting design, adaptable to more scenarios

In outdoor or parking lot scenarios, charging piles are often difficult to rely on wall fixation. Therefore, it is more practical to buy equipment with independent bracket structure, which is flexible to install and not restricted by the site.

9. APP operation interface, mastering every charge

Through APP, users can not only view the charging status and history in real time, but also remotely start/stop charging, and even realize the extension of home energy management. Such digital management is gradually replacing traditional manual operation.

When choosing electric vehicle charging equipment, not only should we pay attention to the "charging speed", but also consider from the aspects of intelligence, safety, compatibility, convenience, etc. NexwayEV is committed to providing a full range of solutions covering charging guns, AC piles and connectors, so as to make every trip more efficient and more at ease.
