The charger is a vital accessory for electric vehicles. Consumers use the charger to charge the battery every day. If there is a quality problem with the charger, it will directly affect the charging safety. At the least, the charging time will be extended, and at the worst, the battery will be irreversibly damaged. In addition, the charger failure may cause safety accidents such as fire.
The overall pass rate of electric vehicle chargers is worrying
Recently, the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce conducted a random inspection of some electric vehicle chargers on the market. This random inspection found a number of unqualified products, and the unqualified items were mainly "power connection and external soft wire" problems.
CCTV has also reported on the electric vehicle charger market before. The "Weekly Quality Inspection Report" program showed through an investigation that more than 90% of electric vehicle chargers on the market have quality problems. At present, the number of electric vehicles in my country has exceeded 250 million. There are many accidents caused by charging every year. Since there is no unified standard in the industry, the product quality is also very different.
For the specific list of unqualified products in the random inspection, consumers can go to the website of the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce for inquiries.
The author recommends that users choose the original charger to charge their electric vehicles. If the original product is damaged, the author also recommends that users purchase a regular charger from the regular brand after-sales department.
