Electric Vehicle Charging Requirements for Cables

Date:2024/4/24 1:54:22

The requirements of electric vehicle charging for cables are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First of all, the cable needs to have a high degree of safety performance, which is the basis for ensuring that the charging process does not occur short circuit, fire and other dangerous situations. Therefore, the cable should have high temperature resistance, flame retardant and other characteristics to ensure that it can remain stable and safe under a long period of high load work. Secondly, the cable needs to be able to withstand high voltage because electric vehicles require high voltage to charge. This means that the insulation of the cable should be good enough to prevent leakage and avoid safety accidents.

In addition, since electric vehicle charging cables require frequent unplugging and plugging operations, the cables also need to have high abrasion resistance. This ensures that the cable will not deteriorate in the harness and the core will not fall off after a long period of use, thus maintaining its good performance. The size of the cable is also an important factor to consider. The size of cables used for EV charging varies depending on the model and charging power, and choosing the right cable specification can ensure charging efficiency and safety. Generally speaking, vehicles with higher charging power need to choose thicker cables.

Finally, the cables also need to have the function of power transmission and communication transmission in order to interconnect between charging piles and electric vehicles, between electric vehicles and the power grid, and between charging devices. This requires the cable to have stable transmission performance to ensure a smooth charging process.
