Electric vehicle charging cable is an important part of connecting charging pile and electric vehicle, and the length of its service life directly affects the reliability and safety of the charging system. In order to extend the service life of electric vehicle charging cables, here are some effective methods and suggestions:
Choose high-quality charging cables: When purchasing electric vehicle charging cables, it is very important to choose products with high quality and reliability.OMG' specializes in the research, development and production of electric vehicle charging cables, which are made of high temperature, abrasion and corrosion-resistant materials, compliant with RoHS 2.0 & REACH environmental standards, with good insulation and durability to withstand prolonged use.
Regular Inspection and Maintenance: Periodically inspect the exterior and connecting parts of the charging cable to ensure that there is no visible damage, wear or cracks. Pay particular attention to checking the plugs and sockets of the cable to ensure that the connection is good and there is no loose or poor contact. If any problems are found, repair or replace the cable promptly to avoid further damage and safety hazards.
Correct use and operation: When using the charging cable, follow the correct operation methods and precautions. Avoid excessive pulling, bending or twisting of the cable to avoid damaging the wires and insulation inside the cable. When plugging or unplugging the cable, do it gently and steadily to avoid damage caused by excessive force or improper angle. And, when the charging cable is not in use, it should be properly stowed in the cable bay of the charging post, avoiding placing it on the ground randomly and causing the cable to be squeezed or pulled by external objects.
Preventing overheating and overloading: Long-term high power charging may cause the charging cable to overheat and affect its service life. Therefore, it is important to avoid overcharging or overloading during the charging process, and to make a reasonable charging power selection according to the specifications and requirements of the electric vehicle and charging equipment.OMG' provides high-power liquid-cooled charging cable solutions for the market demand for fast charging, which ensures the charging safety and at the same time, further improves the charging speed and optimizes the charging experience.
Waterproof and dustproof measures: When the charging cable is used outdoors, attention should be paid to waterproof and dustproof measures to protect the wires and connectors inside the cable from moisture, water or dust. OMG' charging cables have good waterproof, moisture-proof and dust-proof performance to ensure that the connecting parts are well sealed. The service life of the cable is also maximized to protect it from external influences even under harsh environmental conditions.
