The origin & development of EV charger

The origin & development of EV charger 

First, the origin of EV charger 

The origin of EV charging piles can be traced back to the early 20th century in the United States. At that time, electric vehicles were widely used because of their advantages of environmental protection and energy saving. However, the development of electric vehicles has been limited by a lack of charging facilities. As a result, some companies began to try to build electric car charger in the parking lots, supermarkets and public places to solve the charging problem of electric vehicles. These early EV charging generally use alternating current, charging speed is slow, the use of efficiency is not high.

Second, the development of EV charger 

With the continuous development and popularization of electric vehicle technology, charging piles have also been further developed. In the late 1990s, some countries began to vigorously promote electric vehicles and increased investment in charging facilities. At this time, the number and types of charging piles have been greatly enriched. At the same time, with the development of power electronics technology, the charging efficiency and safety of charging piles have also been greatly improved.

At this stage, EV charging equipment generally use direct current mode, charging speed is faster, and the use efficiency is higher. At the same time, the charging pile has also begun to appear the trend of intelligence and networking, and remote monitoring and control can be achieved through the intelligent management system to improve the efficiency and management level of the fast EV charger. 

Third, the diversified development of charging piles. 

With the continuous expansion of the electric vehicle market and the continuous upgrading of consumer demand, charging pipe equipment have also begun to appear a diversified development trend. It is manifested in the following aspects:

1. Diversification of charging methods

With the continuous development of technology, the charging methods of charging piles have also been greatly enriched. In addition to the traditional AC EV charging method, there are also a variety of charging methods such as DC fast charging and wireless charging. These different charging methods can meet the needs of different consumers and improve the efficiency and convenience of charging piles.

2. Diversification of charging networks

With the popularity of electric vehicles and the development of intelligent technology, the diversification of EV charging networks has also become an important trend in the development of charging piles. In addition to the traditional public charging piles, there are also various forms of charging networks such as home EV charger and office building EV charging. These different charging networks can meet the needs of different consumers and improve the convenience and market competitiveness of EV charging piles.
