The difference between mobile and wall-mounted car chargers
With the continuous development of new energy vehicles, more and more people are buying new energy electric vehicles. For owners of new energy electric vehicles, the problem of charging cars will be a big problem. At present, the home chargers on the market can be divided into mobile and wall-mounted types. What are the differences between them and how to choose the right home charger for yourself?
First, the power connection and installation methods are different.
In order to provide charging services for car owners more conveniently, mobile chargers use plugs and sockets for power connection when designing. Such chargers can directly charge the car by plugging the power supply into the 16A air conditioning socket through the plug. It is very simple and convenient, and more suitable for car owners to carry with them. For wall-mounted chargers, when connecting the power supply, it is generally directly connected to the leakage protector through the line. This type of charger generally requires professional electricians to install. First of all, you have to apply for a new meter to control it separately, which is more troublesome.
Second, the charging power is different.
There are two charging powers of mobile chargers, 1.8KW and 3.5KW. The original charger given with the car is rated at 1.8KW and has a range of 8-10 kilometers per hour. It is a very slow mobile charger. The mobile charger currently sold on the market has a rated power of 3.5KW and a range of 18-20 kilometers per hour. It can meet daily electricity needs and is a mobile charger that everyone generally buys. The wall-mounted charger has a power of up to 7KW and a range of 40-50 kilometers per hour. It is the favorite of Didi drivers and the object of favor for car owners with long range.
Third, the charging scenarios are different.
First, the owner must determine whether there are conditions for installing a wall-mounted charger. If so, it is recommended to install a wall-mounted charger and use the night rest time to recharge the car, which can meet daily electricity needs. If there is no condition for installing a wall-mounted charger, choose a mobile charger and carry it with you. This charger can charge the vehicle as long as there is a 220-volt AC power supply, so it can be charged in fragmented time and as long as there is a socket, the vehicle can be charged.
