As an expert in the charging pile industry, EVDANCE has rich experience in the development and manufacturing of intelligent EV charging solutions. This is where we turn our engineering insights into knowledge and share them with the global EV community.
A scrape under an EV rarely reaches the battery, but a hard underbody strike deserves a check before you charge again. What protects the pack, and what to look for.
OCPI is the open protocol networks and apps use to swap locations, live status, prices and session records — so one app works almost anywhere.
In the UK the choice is a checklist: smart by law, 7.4 kW for most homes, Type 2 with UK-market marking, tethered or not, and an approved installer.
An EV battery stores energy in thousands of lithium-ion cells. Driving moves ions inside the cells to release power; charging pushes them back. The cell-to-pack structure, explained.
Yes — an EV goes through a car wash like any other car. The EV-specific steps are the charge port, the wipers and knowing how your car free-rolls in neutral.
Most likely a session limit, not a fault. Many busy sites cap sessions by time or charge level so the next driver gets a turn.
Cell balancing is the battery management system quietly equalising the charge across thousands of cells, so the weakest cell does not limit the whole pack. Why it happens near full.
Cold air contracts, so tyre pressure falls on the first cold mornings and the warning light follows. Why it happens, what it costs in range, and how to set pressures properly.
Not as a rule of their own. EV protection is about ground faults, much of it inside the charger; AFCI rules target other home circuits. Who decides for your panel.
A charge point is one outlet that charges one car at a time. How the term differs from a charger, a station and a connector, and where you will meet it.
