Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it take so long to charge my EV?

There are 5 main factors that affect the charging time of electric vehicles. The size of the battery. The larger your vehicle's battery capacity (kWh), the longer it will take to charge. The state of the battery. If you start charging from an empty battery, it will take longer than if you start charging from 60%.The maximum charge rate of the vehicle. You can only charge your vehicle's battery at the maximum charge rate that your vehicle will accept. For example, if your vehicle's maximum charge rate is 1 kW, you will not charge faster with a 1.92 kW charger. The maximum charge rate of the charger. The time it takes to charge will also be limited by the maximum charge rate of the ev charger you are using. For example, even if your vehicle can charge at 4 kW, it will only charge at 1.92 kW on a 1.92 kW charger. Environmental factors. Lower ambient temperatures can make charging take slightly longer, especially when using a fast charger. Lower temperatures also mean that the vehicle is less efficient and therefore adds less mileage per charge. Tips We also sell level 2 faster charging cables in our store, please feel free to contact us for inquiry if you want to achieve a higher charging rate and reduce your charging time.

Why did the charging speed become slow when the car is charged to about 80%?

his is because of the charging characteristics of lithium batteries. When the energy of the battery reaches 80%, it will enter the tiny current charge state, and the current entering the battery will be limited which will protect the battery and extend its service life.

Will this product work for my EV?

As long as the charging port of your electric/hybrid vehicle is J1772, this level 1 charger will work for your car. We will help you confirm if you're not sure.

If the EV charger fails to charge or the indicator or display is abnormal, what after-sales service can I enjoy?

Please send some pictures and videos to our official email. If there are quality problems with our charger, we will provide free maintenance service for you. All shipping and maintenance fees will be paid by BougeRV. Our technical team will repair the charger in 10 days.

Does the charger have the function of delayed charging or scheduled time charging?

No, this charger does not have the above functions.

Is the charger waterproof? Can I use it outdoor?

es, it can be used outdoor. The waterproof rating of the charging box is IP55 and the charging plug is IP44. But for safety and extending the life of the charger, we do not recommend using the charger outdoor under severe weather conditions.
