Charging Generator and Charging Stations: Are You Confusing Them ?

1. What are charging generator and charging pile?

1) Charging Generator is a charging device directly connected to an electric vehicle, also called a “car charger”. The charger mainly includes components such as a reducer, a motor, and a circuit controller. Its main function is to feed external power into the battery of an electric vehicle for charging, while monitoring the battery charging status and controlling the charging flow.

2) Charging Station is a public charging equipment that provides charging services for electric vehicles, also called “charging station”. The charging pile is mainly composed of bridges, cables, sockets, wiring boards, controllers and other components. It transmits electric energy to the battery of the electric vehicle through an external power supply.

2. What is relationship between charging generator and charging pile?

1) Charging generator and charging piles are closely related, and together they constitute the charging system of electric vehicles. When charging an electric vehicle, the charging generator and charging pile need to work together.

2) When an electric vehicle is parked in front of a charging pile, the charging pile will connect the cable to the charging interface of the electric vehicle through the socket and transmit external power to the charging generator. The charging generator uses this power source to charge the battery.

3) During the charging process, charging piles need to monitor and control electric vehicles to ensure charging safety. At the same time, the charging pile also needs to provide relevant information required for charging services, such as charging pile number, electricity fee, etc.

3. What is difference between charging generator and charging piles?

Although charging generator and charging piles are both electric vehicle charging equipment, they have some differences:

1) Different functions: The charger mainly charging generator the battery inside the electric vehicle, while the charging pile is a terminal device that provides charging services.

2) Different installation locations: The charging generator is usually built inside the electric vehicle, while the charging pile is installed in the electric vehicle charging station.

3) Different usage scenarios: charging generator mainly serve private car owners, while charging piles mainly serve public places, such as parking lots, public charging stations, etc.

4. Conclusion

Although charging generator and charging station are not the same device, they play their own important roles in the electric vehicle charging system. For electric vehicle users, understanding the definitions and functions of chargers and charging piles will not only help them better select and use charging equipment, but also help improve charging efficiency and safety.
