- Range & Charging
How do you confirm GB/T, CCS2 or other charging ports before importing a Chinese EV?
Practical steps for physically checking GB/T and CCS2: how to verify photos of the actual connector and configuration code, separate AC and DC protocol statements, and compatibility testing with local charging equipment, and how to tie the evidence to the vehicles in the batch.
- Range & Charging
Why check AC and DC charging separately for an imported EV?
A checklist for confirming AC and DC separately: connector shape and communication protocol, onboard charger and DC fast-charging capability, and local home and public equipment, so the decision is confirmed in writing before the next step.
- Range & Charging
Can adapters solve all overseas charging problems for Chinese EVs?
How to check the limits of an adapter: verify physical connector and communication compatibility first, then re-check permitted power and safety certification and warranty, regulations and long-term maintenance, so the decision never rests on verbal assurances alone.
- Range & Charging
Should the home electrical system be assessed before delivering an EV?
How to run the pre-delivery home electrical assessment: cover supply capacity and grounding conditions, charger installation location, and licensed electricians and local installation rules, and file the results separately for each assessment.
- Range & Charging
Should a new showroom install chargers before importing EVs?
Starting with showroom charging equipment, break down the owners and evidence for charging demand for test drives and deliveries, vehicle connector and equipment compatibility, and installation, operation and customer demo procedures, so the preparation leaves a traceable record.
- Range & Charging
How should fleets plan depot charging before buying EVs?
A documented way to plan fleet depot charging, covering daily mileage and return time, the number of vehicles charging at the same time, grid capacity and backup operations plan, and exception handling, for use before payment or shipment.
- Range & Charging
Why can't you judge real-world range in export markets from CLTC alone?
A decision checklist for why CLTC cannot stand alone: verify the test cycle behind the stated range, local temperature, speed and load, and charging availability and operating margin, so the procurement team can judge whether the range assessment can move forward.
- Range & Charging
How should you present CLTC and WLTP data when the supplier provides both?
The most easily missed documentation in presenting CLTC and WLTP side by side, item by item: the test cycle behind each figure, same model and battery version, and usage-condition notes for customers, plus the re-check boundaries.
- Range & Charging
Can a PHEV still be sold on its original positioning if customers rarely charge it?
The three verification criteria for the impact of rarely charging a PHEV are engine and battery operating logic, charging conditions the customer can actually get, and fuel economy, service and sales wording. This entry explains how to keep them in one versioned record.
- Range & Charging
Are EREVs suitable for markets with limited charging networks?
Handle the EREV decision for limited-charging markets with one primary record, syncing customer daily mileage and refueling/recharging habits, engine, fuel tank and charging conditions, and local entry, service and parts capability, so handover discussions stay aligned.
- Range & Charging
How do high-altitude routes affect EV range planning?
Which evidence high-altitude range planning requires: this entry covers energy consumption changes on climbs and descents, temperature, load and AC usage, and charging points along the route and backup margin, and explains what to re-check when the situation changes.
- Range & Charging
How should EV thermal management and charging performance be verified in hot markets?
When managing the hot-climate thermal management check, keep separate evidence for the configuration, the vehicles and the documents; the review scope covers battery cooling and preconditioning functions, charging limits under high temperature, and AC load and real-route testing.
- Range & Charging
Do public charging apps and payment methods affect imported EV sales?
A single consistent standard for comparing charging app and payment experience, covering charging network accounts and payment conditions, vehicle connector and station coverage, and customer registration and delivery demo, so the conclusion can be written straight into the order annex.
- Range & Charging
Should dealers confirm single- or three-phase supply before installing AC chargers?
Break the single-/three-phase supply check into verifiable tasks, delivering the site's existing power supply, the vehicle's onboard charger capability, and equipment power, grounding and installation approval separately, so you can check whether the AC charger supply service has been completed.
- Range & Charging
Which specifications should you check on the portable charging cable when importing EVs?
Conditions for proceeding with a portable cable check include vehicle-side and supply-side connectors, rated current, length and temperature range, and certification, storage and replacement channels. This entry explains how to decide whether to pause or proceed.
- Range & Charging
How should the state of charge and shipping mode be confirmed while an EV is at sea?
Checking the shipping charge and transport mode can't rely on appearance or the marketing name; build the evidence chain around carrier and port requirements, vehicle transport mode settings, and arrival unlock, start-up and recharging plan.
- Range & Charging
Which battery transport documents should be prepared in advance for EV export?
Verify battery transport documents against the accurate version, checking exact model and battery information, safety documents required by the carrier, and booking, declaration and emergency contact details, so the documents never rely on inapplicable generic information.
- Range & Charging
Who should cover the overseas warranty for portable charging equipment?
Verify who issues the overseas charging equipment warranty and what it covers, focusing on equipment brand, serial numbers and applicable markets, warranty provider and coverage, and fault testing, replacement and installation responsibility, then decide whether it passes.
- Range & Charging
Why test a sample EV at local public fast chargers before selling in volume?
Manage public fast-charger sample testing with one primary record — connection results across different operators, start, stop and payment flow, and error codes and customer notes — so the testing stays traceable across multiple parties.
- Range & Charging
Which charging instructions should dealers give customers at EV handover?
How to confirm the customer charging handover before signing or delivery: this entry lists connectors, charging cables and safety steps, home and public charging operations, and fault handling, warranty and support channels, plus the written acceptance method for the handover guide.
