What is car charging
Basic concepts and classification
Car charging is the technical process of replenishing electrical energy to the battery of an electric vehicle or a traditional fuel vehicle. According to the current type and charging speed, it is mainly divided into the following two categories:
Youdaoplaceholder0 DC charging (fast charging) : Directly uses DC to charge the battery, with high power (above 30kW), can charge to 50%-80% in 20-30 minutes, suitable for emergency charging, but has some impact on battery life and grid load.
Youdaoplaceholder0 AC charging (slow charging) : Converts AC to DC through an on-board charger, lower power (usually 220V household power supply), takes 5-8 hours to fully charge, lower cost and more battery-friendly, suitable for night use or long parking.
Technical implementation method
Youdaoplaceholder0 Wired charging :
Dc fast charging directly outputs DC power to the battery through the charging pile, eliminating the need for on-board conversion.
Ac slow charging relies on on-board chargers (OBC) to complete the conversion between AC and DC, and it needs to be combined with components such as high-voltage control boxes.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Wireless charging : Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction or magnetic resonance, no physical connection is required, but efficiency and range are limited. The technology is still under development.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Battery swapping technology : Directly replace the battery pack to achieve "swap and go", such as the Chinese GB/T standard and Tesla's proprietary solution.
Application scenarios and selection suggestions
Youdaoplaceholder0 DC fast charging : Suitable for scenarios such as highway service areas and commercial areas that require rapid charging, but long-term use may affect battery health.
Youdaoplaceholder0 AC slow charging : Preferred for home or office, low cost and low battery wear.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Conventional car battery charging : Recharge with a dedicated charger, jumper or engine generator, but pay attention to voltage matching.
Technical standards and trends
International mainstream standards include Japan's CHAdeMO, China's GB/T and Tesla's Supercharger.
The future trend focuses on the optimization of ultra-fast charging (such as 350kW high power) and wireless charging technologies to enhance efficiency and user experience.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Summary : There are various car charging technologies, and the choice requires weighing speed, cost and battery life, as well as technical standards and infrastructure compatibility.
The main function of CAR charging includes providing power to the car battery and other equipment to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle; Recharge the battery during driving to keep it fully charged. And as an emergency power source in some emergencies to provide temporary power support .
Youdaoplaceholder0 The specific functions of an on-board charger (OBC) include:
Youdaoplaceholder0 Power conversion : Efficiently convert the alternating current (AC) provided by the power grid into the direct current (DC) required by the high-voltage batteries of electric vehicles to meet the charging needs of power batteries .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Intelligent regulation : Intelligently regulate charging current and voltage based on real-time data provided by the Battery Management System (BMS) to ensure safe and efficient charging .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Bidirectional conversion : With bidirectional charging function, it can not only convert alternating current to direct current to charge the battery, but also invert the direct current of the power battery into 220V household alternating current, achieving bidirectional energy conversion .
Youdaoplaceholder0 Protection functions : Equipped with multiple protection functions such as overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent and undercurrent, it ensures that power supply can be quickly cut off in case of abnormality in the charging system, guaranteeing safety .
Youdaoplaceholder0 The technical principle of the on-board charger includes the use of high-frequency switching power supply technology to efficiently convert AC 220V voltage into high-voltage DC power, thereby providing stable charging services for power batteries .
Youdaoplaceholder0 In practical application case , electric vehicles can feed the stored electrical energy back to the grid through the V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) mode to achieve bidirectional energy flow. For example, TELdrive Airport Star Hub charging and Discharging station in Chengdu has realized the function of reverse power supply from electric vehicles to the grid through vehicle-to-grid interaction technology .
