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.
