Tips for using ev chargers
Avoid using extension Cords
- Never use an extension cord for EV charging. Extra wire length can overheat your home wiring.
- Plug Level 1 chargers directly into an appropriate outlet.
Charging Levels and Charging at Home- 3 main classifications of ev charging
- Level 1: Plugs into a standard 120V household outlet. Convenient but slow (adds roughly 2-4 miles of range per hour).
- Level 2: Requires a 240V outlet. Charges faster (ideal for home use).
- DC Fast Charging (Level 3): High-speed charging available at public stations for quick top-ups during road trips.
- If you charge at home, plug in every night to maintain a healthy battery.
Charging etiquette for public stations
- Don't hog the charger: Move your car once it's fully charged.
- Follow time limits: If there's a queue, don't overstay.
- Park properly: Leave space for others to access adjacent chargers.
Common Mistakes When Using EV Chargers
Overcharging
- Treat your EV battery differently from a smartphone battery. Avoid leaving it on the charger overnight, as this can gradually reduce its lifespan and cause battery degradation.
- Follow the 80-20 rule: Don't charge your EV over 80% unless you're embarking on a long road trip. Also, avoid letting the battery dip below the 20% threshold.
Incorrect Wiring and Extension cords
- Ensure correct wiring when installing charging stations. Using the wrong type of outlet or extension cords can lead to safety hazards and inefficiencies.
- Avoid using extension cords to increase cord length for charging. Direct connections are more reliable.
Neglecting regular charging
- Charge your EV regularly to maintain battery health. Leaving it unused for extended periods can lead to battery degradation.
- Even if you don't need a full charge, occasional top-ups help keep the battery in good condition.
