Charging an electric vehicle at a charging station mainly consists of the following steps, which apply to both home and public chargers, but the specific details may vary depending on the type and brand of charger:

1. Preparation phase

Confirm the vehicle status: Make sure the electric vehicle is parked and in a chargeable state, usually by shifting the vehicle into P gear or turning off the engine.

Open the charging port: After unlocking the vehicle, open the protective cover or hatch of the charging interface to expose the charging socket.

2. Connect the charger

Remove the charging gun: Remove the charging gun from the charger, and check whether the charging gun is intact, without damage, water accumulation, etc.

Insert the charging gun: Insert the charging gun into the charging socket of the electric vehicle and ensure that the plug is firmly connected to the socket. At this time, the vehicle screen may display the message "Charger connected".

3. Start charging

Choose a charging method:

Home charger: Usually, charging can be started through mobile phone APP, car system, card swiping, etc., or scheduled to start charging.

Public charger: According to the prompts of the charger, choose the appropriate charging method. Common charging methods include scanning code charging, card swiping charging, etc. If you choose to charge by scanning the code, you need to open the corresponding APP or applet, scan the QR code on the charging pile, and follow the prompts to complete the payment and charging start process. If you choose to charge by swiping a card, place the charging card in the induction area of the charger, and the system will start the charging program after reading the magnetic card data.

Start charging: Start charging according to the selected charging method. On public charging piles, you may need to click the "Start Charging" button on the charger display or the car screen.

Waiting for charging to complete: Depending on the battery capacity of the electric vehicle and the charging power of the charger, the charging time will vary. Generally speaking, fast charging can fully charge the battery in a shorter time, while slow charging takes a longer time.

V. End charging

Stop charging: When the battery is full or needs to stop charging, you can end charging through the "Stop Charging" button on the mobile phone APP, car system, or charger screen. If it is a charger that automatically stops charging, it will automatically stop charging when the battery is full.

Pull out the gun and close the charging port: Press the switch on the charging gun and pull out the charging gun, and close the charging port cover to avoid forgetting.

Put the charging gun back: Put the charging gun back to the designated position of the charger and make sure the charging gun is placed firmly.
