The emergency use of electric vehicle chargers in remote areas is of great significance for alleviating the “range anxiety” of electric vehicles. The following are some key usage points and precautions:
Key points for Use
Choose a portable charger
In remote areas, due to the low penetration rate of charging piles, portable chargers have become an important tool for emergency charging. Electric vehicle brands like Tesla usually offer portable chargers that come with the vehicle, making it convenient for car owners to use them whenever needed.
Confirm the type of power socket
Before using the portable charger, please confirm whether the local power socket type matches the charger. For instance, the Tesla in-car charger usually needs to be connected to a household power socket of 110V or 220V.
Connect the charger to the vehicle
Plug the plug of the portable charger into the power socket, and then connect the other end of the charging cable to the charging port of the vehicle. Make sure the connection is firm and avoid poor contact.
Start charging
After the connection is completed, start charging according to the instructions of the charger. For electric vehicles like Tesla, the charging process usually starts automatically and the charging progress can be monitored on the vehicle’s central control screen or on a mobile phone APP.
Precautions
Ensure good grounding
When using a portable charger, please ensure that it is well grounded. Poor grounding may lead to charging failures or safety accidents. If local conditions are limited, you can consider using specialized grounding equipment or consult a professional.
Pay attention to electrical safety.
When using a portable charger, please follow the local electrical safety regulations. Avoid charging in damp, dusty or flammable and explosive environments, and ensure there are no flammable items around.
Monitor the charging status
During the charging process, please monitor the charging status regularly. If any abnormal charging or vehicle malfunction is detected, please stop charging immediately and contact a professional.
Plan the itinerary reasonably
Before driving in remote areas, please plan your trip reasonably and consider your charging needs. Understand the charging facilities along the way and reserve sufficient charging time.
Emergency charging strategy
Make use of household power sockets
In remote areas, if conditions permit, local household power sockets can be used for charging. This is usually applicable to short-term stays or charging at night.
Seek third-party charging services
In some remote areas, there may be third-party charging service providers offering charging services. You can learn about the relevant information in advance and make an appointment for the charging service.
Charge with solar energy
For some car owners who are on long-distance trips or outdoor adventures, it is advisable to consider using solar charging panels to charge electric vehicles. Although the charging speed is relatively slow, it can be used as an alternative in an emergency.
