What's the matter if the electric car can't be charged? Full analysis of common causes and solutions
Recently, the charging problem of electric vehicles has become a hot topic, especially in the hot summer and frequent rainy weather. Many users report that electric vehicles cannot be charged. This article will combine the hot discussions on the entire network in the past 10 days, analyze common causes through structured data, and provide solutions.
1. Common reasons why electric vehicles cannot be charged
| Ranking | Cause of failure | Proportion | High frequency keywords |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Charger failure | 35% | The indicator light does not light up, is hot, and the output voltage is abnormal. |
| 2 | battery problem | 28% | Battery aging, bulging, vulcanization |
| 3 | Poor line contact | 20% | Plug oxidation, open circuit, short circuit |
| 4 | The charging port is damaged | 12% | Water, rust, looseness |
| 5 | BMS system failure | 5% | Overcharge protection, temperature protection, communication abnormality |
2. Detailed problem analysis and solutions
1. Charger troubleshooting
Check the charger indicator light status: Normally it should be red (charging) or green (fully charged). If the indicator light does not light up, the power cord may be broken or the internal components may be damaged. It is recommended to use a multimeter to measure the output voltage (lead-acid batteries should be 13.8-14.7V, lithium batteries need to match BMS requirements).
2. Troubleshooting battery problems
If the battery is used for more than 2 years or charged more than 300 times, the capacity may decline to less than 80%. It can be detected by:
① The no-load voltage is lower than the nominal value (such as 48V battery <45V)
② The battery heats up significantly during charging (>50℃)
③ After full charge, the subsequent flight time is reduced by more than 30%.
3. Line maintenance guide
| Detection site | normal state | abnormal behavior |
|---|---|---|
| charging plug | The metal sheet is bright and non-oxidized | Blackened, loose, deformed |
| Charging port | Dry and clean interior | Signs of water ingress/rust spots |
| fuse | On state | Fuse/poor contact |
3. Association with recent hot events
According to the Baidu Index, the search volume for "electric vehicle charging" has increased by 47% in the past 10 days, mainly related to the following events:
• On July 15, a fire broke out due to a short circuit at a charging pile in a residential area in Hangzhou.
• On July 18, CCTV reported that "32% of electric vehicle chargers failed to pass the quality inspection"
• On July 20, the new national charging interface standard draft was released.
4. Preventive maintenance suggestions
① Clean the charging interface every month
② Avoid complete discharge of the battery (maintain more than 20% power)
③ Use the original charger (voltage error should be <±1%)
④ Choose a cool place to charge in hot weather
⑤ Check the line insulation regularly (especially after rain)
5. Maintenance cost reference
| Maintenance items | market price range | Suggested handling |
|---|---|---|
| Replace charger | 80-300 yuan | Give priority to original accessories |
| battery repair | 150-600 yuan | It is recommended to replace if the capacity is less than 70%. |
| Line maintenance | 30-100 yuan | Focus on checking the joint parts |
If the above method still cannot solve the charging problem, it is recommended to go to a professional maintenance point for BMS system testing or battery in-depth diagnosis. According to JD.com’s big data, the number of electric vehicle maintenance service orders has increased by 65% year-on-year since July, 48% of which are charging-related failures.
