An electric vehicle charging station is a device that must have certain safety and efficiency standards. If you skimp on the charging station, it will not have the requirements of your vehicle, which could cause damage.
In this post, we’ve rounded up the top 5 reasons why skimping on the charging station can be dangerous:
▫️Safety. In some cases, a low-quality charging station can cause a short circuit, which can lead to a fire or other dangerous situations. High-quality charging stations are certified and comply with safety standards.
▫️Power. A poor quality charging station may not provide the required charging power for your electric vehicle, causing the vehicle to take longer to charge and limit travel distance.
▫️Compatibility. Some low-quality charging stations may not be compatible with your electric vehicle and may cause damage to the vehicle.
▫️Additional features and convenience. High-quality charging stations may have additional features (built-in cables of various types, touch screens with charging information, remote control via mobile applications, etc.) This makes the charging process more convenient for electric vehicle owners.
▫️Efficiency. A poor-quality charging station can consume more power than necessary, which can lead to additional electricity bills.
For these reasons, it is important not to save on the charging station and choose high-quality equipment, as well as contact professionals for installation and maintenance.
