Exploring how to extend the service life of EV charging cable

China [CN]

Electric vehicle charging cables are an important part of connecting charging piles and electric vehicles. Their 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 a high-quality charging cable: When purchasing an electric vehicle charging cable, it is important to choose a product with high quality and reliability. OMG cable manufacturer specializes in the development and production of electric vehicle charging cables. They are made of high-temperature-resistant, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, comply with RoHS 2.0 & REACH environmental standards, have good insulation properties and durability, and can withstand long-term use.

Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly check the appearance and connection parts of the charging cable to ensure there is no obvious damage, wear or cracks. Pay special attention to checking the plugs and sockets of the cables to make sure they are well connected and not loose or have 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 correct operating methods and precautions. Avoid pulling, bending, or twisting the cable excessively to avoid damaging the wires and insulation inside the cable. When plugging or unplugging cables, do so gently and steadily to avoid damage caused by excessive force or improper angles. Moreover, when the charging cable is not in use, it should be properly stored in the cable clamping position of the charging pile to avoid being randomly placed on the ground and causing the cable to be squeezed or pulled by external objects.

Prevent excessive heat and overload: Prolonged high-power charging may cause the charging cable to overheat, affecting its service life. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid overcharging or overloading during the charging process, and make reasonable charging power selection according to the specifications and requirements of electric vehicles and charging equipment. In response to the market's demand for fast charging, OMG provides high-power liquid-cooled charging cable solutions, which not only ensures charging safety, but also further improves charging speed and optimizes charging experience.

Waterproof and dustproof measures: When the charging cable is used outdoors, pay attention to waterproof and dustproof measures to protect the wires and connectors inside the cable from moisture, moisture or dust. OMG charging cable has good waterproof, moisture-proof and dust-proof properties, ensuring good sealing of the connecting part. Even under harsh environmental conditions, the service life of the cable can be guaranteed to the greatest extent without being affected by the outside world.
