1. Safety Aspects

Comprehensive Protection Features: It should include multiple protection functions such as overvoltage, overcurrent, leakage, overheating, short circuit, and a zero-fire line detection feature. These can monitor in real-time and automatically disconnect the power in case of any abnormal conditions, ensuring safe charging.

Good Waterproof and Dustproof Performance: Some home charging stations are installed outdoors, so devices with high waterproof and dustproof ratings, such as IP55 or higher, should be selected to ensure proper operation even in harsh weather conditions.

Reliable Material and Quality: The charging station's outer shell should be made from flame-retardant, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials. The internal circuits and components should be of good quality to reduce the risk of malfunctions and safety hazards.

Equipped with Safety Protection Devices: For example, an emergency stop switch that allows users to quickly disconnect the power in case of an emergency.

2. Compatibility Aspects

Adaptable to Various Car Models: The charging station should be compatible with electric vehicles from different brands and models to meet diverse charging needs.

Supports Multiple Charging Interfaces: It should include various common types of charging connectors, such as the national standard interface, Tesla interface, etc., for the convenience of users with different vehicle types.

3. Charging Performance Aspects

Appropriate Power Selection: The power rating should be chosen according to the actual needs of the vehicle owner. Typically, a 7kW AC charging station is sufficient to meet the daily charging needs of most car owners.

Appropriate Cable Length: The length of the charging cable is generally around 3.5 meters for home use. A longer cable would increase costs and line losses, affecting charging efficiency.

4. Smart Features

Remote Control Function: It should support remote monitoring of charging information, scheduling charging times, and controlling charging start/stop through a mobile app. This allows users to easily track the charging status and plan charging schedules at any time.

Scheduled Charging: This feature allows for time-based charging, which can be used with off-peak electricity rates to save on electricity costs. When setting up the electric meter, the owner can enable off-peak pricing and schedule charging during low-rate periods.
