How many connectors are used in an electric car: How it works
When the two cars need to be linked and reconnected, they rely on the traction of the two car couplers when they are hooked up, so that the two connectors are brought closer together, and under the guidance of the horns, the respective conductive half-rings (static Contacts) are accurately inserted into the opposing fork (moving contacts), and the high-voltage circuits on the primary side of the two cars are turned on. At the same time, the tension spring on the fork tightly locks the half ring. Because the relative displacement of the two connectors is absorbed and adjusted by the tension spring and the return spring, the contact pressure between the fork and the half ring can be kept constant. Change, which can ensure better electrical performance.
How many connectors are used in an electric car: types
Tesla's mobile charging connector is actually a portable charger. It is equipped with two kinds of plugs, which are respectively adapted to the national standard 220V single-phase 10A electric socket and three-phase 16A socket, and the output power is 1.8kW and 5.2kW. Faced with the Tesla Model S's battery capacity of up to 85kWh, the mobile charging connector feels like a slap in the water, and its role should also make use of fragmented time to replenish electricity at any time. The mobile charging connector has been optional before, and the US official website sells for up to $ 650. In March this year, in order to boost sales in China, Tesla began giving away this very convenient charger to old and new owners.
The wall-mounted charger is Tesla's home charging pile. The voltage and current are 220V and 40A, respectively, and the output power is 8.8Kw. Doesn't look flat, right? But it's different if you buy a car dual charger. The price of the car dual charger is 16600 yuan. The matching high-power wall-mounted charging connector uses 380V three-phase power, the current is 32A, and the output power reaches 18kW. This charging speed is almost the same as the ordinary fast charging pile. It takes about 5 hours to fully charge a Tesla Model S with a battery capacity of 85kWh.
