Charging station refers to a charging device that provides energy supplement for electric vehicles. Its function is similar to that of a Gasoline pump in a gas station. It can be fixed on the ground or wall, installed in public buildings (public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.) and residential parking lots or charging stations, and can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels.

The input end of the Charging station is directly connected to the AC power grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging the electric vehicle. Generally, the Charging station provides two charging modes: conventional charging and fast charging. People can use a specific charging card to swipe the card on the human-computer interaction interface provided by the Charging station for corresponding charging operations and cost data printing. The Charging station display screen can display charging amount, cost, charging time and other data.

The Charging station (plug) can realize charging by time, electricity degree and amount, and can be used as a terminal for citizens to purchase electricity. At the same time, in order to improve the efficiency and practicability of the public Charging station (plug), the functions of multi charging by one pile (plug) and charging for electric bicycles will be gradually added in the future.
