Safety Tips

Electric vehicle charging precautions

1. Depending on the battery capacity, it can generally be fully charged within 8-10 hours.

2. Fires are most likely to occur at night and in the early morning, so try to charge during the day and have someone supervise you.

3. The charging environment must be ventilated. The best ambient temperature is 25°C. Avoid exposure to the sun and rain.

4. Stay away from flammable and explosive items to prevent the electric vehicle from igniting nearby items and causing a larger fire.

5. Electric vehicles must be charged at designated locations. Do not privately pull or connect wires or use flying wires to charge.
