How Are Electric Vehicles Charged?

Before buying an electric vehicle it is essential to gain familiarity with the necessary on-board equipment to prevent "charging" or, to use a current term, "top-up" problems.

 

It is important to check that the electric vehicle is fitted with a battery charger with a "standard" connection, i. e. suitable to draw electrical energy directly from ENEL's grid and therefore from the power outlet in our garage. If it's not then there is something wrong and you need to contact the seller.

 

This solution in the standard equipment fitted on an electric vehicle allows to charge the batteries in any place with mains electricity. Indeed electric cars have other various types of battery chargers. However, these do not allow to draw electricity from the mains supply but need special adapters or need to be connected directly to the charging points in service stations now available in large towns. The ideal solution is to have a battery charger on board the car with a high-frequency standard socket without the need to resort to external devices.

 

When taking into consideration an electric vehicle one needs to examine the costs to bear for the energy required to power the set of batteries. Models that allow to reduce energy costs are definitely the ones that allow to charge the batteries directly from the national domestic mains supply. Usually a full energy charge for a complete set of traction batteries for vehicles that draw energy directly from the mains supply does not cost more than 2 euros.

 

Vehicles fitted with a standard battery charger allow to optimise the time spent at home to charge the batteries. Indeed on average it takes 8 hours to fully charge a set of traction batteries. We recommend charging the entire set of batteries overnight, after the vehicle has been used during the day, in conjunction with the cheapest electricity tariff. It is also possible to charge the batteries for less time during the day for partial charges.

 

Partial charges do not result in problems affecting the runtime and/or efficiency of the set of batteries, as they are not subject to the memory effect. Precisely because they do not suffer from the memory effect, the set of batteries of electric vehicles has an average life of about 4 years.

 

A fully charged set of batteries of an electric vehicle allows for an uptime that varies between 70 and 100 km, depending on the model and set-up selected.

There Are Many Different Types of Charging Plugs/Connectors, How to Choose a Suitable One for Your Car

Image
  There are many reasons to consider switching from a gasoline-powered car, to one that’s powered by electricity. Electric vehicles are quieter, cost less to operate and produce far fewer total emissions well to wheel. However, not all electric cars and plugs are created equal. In particular, the EV charging connector or plug type standard varies across geographies and models. While there is contention around universal plug technology, there is critical mass from global automakers supporting the Combined Charging System (CCS) in North America and Europe, while Japan and its automakers use CHAdeMO, and China, which has the world’s largest electric vehicle market uses GB/T. Also, depending on the plug type within each region, there are different levels of power available. We will zero in on all these differences and other relevant information regarding charging electric vehicles below.

Five Things To Expect From an Electric Car Charging Station

Image
  You've heard the "buzz," but what can you really expect from an electric car charging station? Are you are seriously considering making the switch to an electric vehicle, but aren't sure what to expect? How much time and money will it cost? Are there any other pieces of information that you need before you make the jump to an EV? These cars are wonderful alternatives to traditional gas-guzzlers, so take a look below for more information.   1. You can find an electric car charging station using websites and apps. As alternatives to gasoline-fueled cars become increasingly popular, more and more stations are popping up around the country and around the world.   2. There are three different types of cost plans for public stations: pay-as-you go, membership only, or free. Of course, these options are largely self-explanatory. If you travel often and to new locations, it might make sense to stock up on membership cards in order to be prepared for whatever you mig...

How To Buy Your First EV Charger

  So you’ve just bought your first electric vehicle? Congratulations! Electric Vehicles (EVs) are fun to drive, great for the environment and incredibly easy to operate. So what’s the next step? The next step is usually figuring out how to charge the new car and most importantly, how to charge your electric car at home.   You will need to set-up your Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE). EVSE is infrastructure that supplies your EV with electric power. They work seamlessly with both BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) and PHEV (Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles). Technically, EV chargers are built into the car. An EVSE supplies power from your home’s grid into your vehicle’s built in charger which in turn, chargers your vehicle, and keep both vehicle and home safe, and the EV charger communicates with the EV such as when it’s plugged in properly and safe to charge. Depending on the make/model of their EV, most consumers either charge their vehicle using Level 1 charging ...
