Nexway's Guide to Safe and Efficient EV Charging

2/27/2025

As electric vehicles (EVs) become a mainstream choice, ensuring safe and reliable charging is more important than ever. Nexway, a leader in EV charging solutions, shares essential tips to help drivers and businesses maximize safety while charging their vehicles.

1. Choose the Right Charger for Your Needs
Not all EV chargers are created equal. Nexway offers a range of options, from portable units for on-the-go charging to high-power stations for commercial use. Before purchasing, consider:

Charging Speed: Level 1 (120V) for home use, Level 2 (240V) for faster charging, or DC fast chargers for quick top-ups.

Compatibility: Ensure the charger supports your vehicle's plug type (e.g., CCS, CHAdeMO, or Type 2adapters).

2. Inspect Charging Equipment Regularly
Faulty cables or connectors can pose safety risks. Follow these steps:

Check for Damage: Look for frayed wires, cracks, or exposed parts.

Clean Connectors: Remove dirt or debris that could interfere with charging.

Test Functionality: Use Nexway's app-enabled chargers to monitor performance and detect issues early.

3. Follow Proper Installation Guidelines
Improper installation can lead to electrical hazards. Whether at home or a business site:

Hire a Professional: Certified electricians ensure compliance with local codes.

Use Quality Components: Nexway chargers come with UL-certified parts for maximum safety.

Avoid Overloading Circuits: Ensure your electrical system can handle the charger's power requirements.

4. Practice Safe Charging Habits
Simple habits can prevent accidents and extend your charger's lifespan:

Avoid Extension Cords: They can overheat and cause fires.

Unplug After Charging: Reduces wear on the connector and saves energy.

Keep Chargers Dry: Use weatherproof units like Nexway's portable chargers for outdoor charging.
