Someone saw me driving the new energy vehicle before and asked me about charging. Because the community where I live has an underground parking space and it is inconvenient to use electricity. Many people who plan to buy the new energy vehicle have not done so because of this concern. Today, I will briefly tell you how to install charging piles to solve the last step that restricts the entry of new energy vehicles into homes.
First of all, you can go to your local power supply station or power supply company to inquire about the power supply of new energy vehicle charging piles, or you can call 95598 for enquiries. Let’s mainly ask a few questions. Can
1 install a meter for the power supply?
2Which standard is the electricity bill based on? What is the demarcation point for
3 installation? Are there any other fees for
4? How long does it take for
5 to install
6? What information do you need to prepare? After
, you need to communicate with the property owner of the community. Generally, you need a certificate from the property owner to agree to install charging equipment. The specific format of this certificate must be subject to the requirements of the power supply company. After all, they are the ones providing power. If the power supply station in your area does not specify the specific format of the certificate, you can follow the requirements of the property management company. If neither party has format requirements, it would be even simpler. You can download one from the Internet yourself. Communicate with the business office of the power supply company in advance, bring all the information, and apply for installation.
Also, I need to systematically analyze the situation of my parking space. Is it above ground or underground? Is there a place nearby where I can install a charging pile or charging box? Are there flammable and explosive items etc. next to the parking space?
If it is an underground parking space, it is best to place it against a wall or pillar, and just fix the charging box in a suitable position above it. If it is in the middle and not against the wall, you need to ask the car seller for a vertical charging pile or buy one online and fix it on the ground, but you need to estimate the location in advance. If it is on the ground, you need to consider the issue of rain protection. If there are still flammable and explosive items, be sure to remove them to eliminate any potential safety hazards, so that you can feel more at ease when using the car in the future.
After that, it’s time to wait for the power supply company to wire the wiring and install the meter. At this time, remember a key issue, which is to ask the power supply company to install the meter as close as possible to your parking space. This process is more difficult. Generally, power supply company personnel prefer a centralized layout, with all nearby meters in one area, to facilitate their own later maintenance. However, some people's parking spaces are far away from the meter box, and there are many subsequent steps and expenses.
Generally speaking, all costs before the meter are borne by the power supply company, and costs after the meter are borne by yourself. The next step is the wiring from the meter to the charging pile. The shorter the distance, the more money, electricity and time you save.
First of all, the choice of wires for this section should be determined according to the power supply parameters of your car. Power, charging rated current , etc. Generally speaking, there are 16A, 35A, etc. 2.5 square millimeter copper wire can carry 16A-25A; 4 square meters can carry 35A-40A current. It is recommended to choose copper wire. Although it is more expensive, you can use it with confidence.
Leave professional matters to professionals. It is best to ask a professional electrician to arrange the electrical wires. You can contact the labor market or communicate with the electrician at the power supply station to negotiate a good price. You can do it yourself, but remember to make it safe, standardized, and beautiful. For underground parking spaces, it is best to use the top cable trough box. For those on the ground, it is best to bury pipes into the ground and lay them. When passing by, put up a warning sign with cables underneath. This is both beautiful and safe, and also avoids some legal risks. Connect the
end to the meter box , and the other end to the charging box. Connect the wires, turn on the switch, and after the power test is correct, congratulations, you can use it!
In short, installing a charging pile is not troublesome. It would be the most worry-free if the car seller could do it all, as they would do a more professional and safer job. If no one is in charge, you can hire people to do the construction, but you must sign a safety agreement in advance, conduct a construction site survey and warn of safety hazards to ensure the safety of workers and yourself.Finally, I would like to remind you that this meter is separate, so don’t forget to pay in time~
