With the continuous progress and development of new energy vehicles, it has gradually gained recognition from the market and people, and more and more people are beginning to choose to buy new energy vehicles. And just a few days ago at the Shanghai Auto Show, new energy vehicles were even more brilliant, and new energy vehicle brands that are becoming more and more complete and more advanced have entered our lives.
However, the battery life of new energy vehicles is still a major problem and has not been completely solved so far. Although many new energy vehicles now have a range of more than 500 kilometers, and some even threaten to have 1,000 kilometers, charging is still a problem. Especially for new energy vehicle owners living in cities, the electricity costs are often expensive and painful because there are few charging piles. In this regard, many people choose to install home charging piles themselves, but how should they install home charging piles for new energy vehicles? Are there any conditions and restrictions? How much does it cost to set one? Let's take a look together.
For the installation of charging piles, take the private parking spaces in the community as an example; first we have to go to the property of the community to understand the specific installation matters and obtain authorization. Generally, when you have your own parking space, you can install charging piles as long as you have the property rights, and the property owner has no right to interfere. However, one thing to note is that some old community garages may not meet the conditions for installation, so we have to install additional technical equipment ourselves. Remember to say hello to the property in advance, obtain the property authorization certificate before proceeding to the next step.
After obtaining authorization from the property, we need to go to State Grid to apply and fill in the application information. This is what we need to bring with us the resident ID card , the parking space certificate and the property authorization certificate. Some places also need to carry the driver's license for new energy vehicles . After the power company is accepted, staff will come to the site to check within one or two days to negotiate the installation plan with us. Finally, wiring and installing the meter.
. When applying on the State Grid, the charging pile selection and purchase must be made simultaneously. Be sure to determine the charging pile model before the power staff comes to the door to install, and provide reference data on the current voltage required for the charging pile and the installation height of the pile body for the power staff during installation.
How to choose a home charging pile?
Home charging piles have different voltages in terms of technical classification. They can be divided into 380 volts and 220 volts. In addition, there is a simple version of charging piles on the market that "car charge" and generally supports voltages of about 200 volts.
There are many types of charging piles on the market now, and there are many mixed results. You can choose the official brand charging piles of your own electric car, or you can choose a third-party charging pile. Third-party charging piles are more versatile and cost less than brand charging piles. However, when installing third-party charging piles, you need to pay attention to whether they can match your own brand electric car? Among them, some third-party charging piles on the market will have incompatible problems with vehicles.
You also need to consider convenience when choosing a charging pile. Nowadays, many charging piles have reservation charging functions, among which we can charge electric vehicles when they are powered by making an appointment. This can save a lot of electricity costs. The most important thing is to consider safety. It is best to choose a charging pile brand with grounding wire, protection, waterproof box and other measures. If you are buying a charging pile with the car charging version, you must add a missing protection box.
How much does it cost to install a home charging pile?
Here, the price of ordinary household charging piles and household accessories ranges from 2,000 to 5,000 yuan per unit. If it is a DC fast charging charging pile, it costs 15,000 to 20,000 yuan per unit. In addition, the total service installation costs and labor costs will not exceed 1,000 yuan. The installation location and materials of each household may be different, so the cost is also different.
Finally, installing a home charging pile sounds like installing a home appliance, but in fact it is a decoration, involving the owner, the power grid, the property, the construction team, and multiple process steps.Different communities and parking spaces have different geographical environments, and construction plans also have multiple possibilities, but the best solution requires owners, pile teams, power grids, property, and even neighbors to jointly implement them. All parties have uneven interests and it is normal for them to shirke each other's responsibility. As the core beneficiary, the owner is basically the only promoter. If you can learn more about charging pile knowledge, policies and regulations, and look at the experiences and lessons of other owners, you may be able to step on less pitfalls, which will become impossible.
