Recently, the Weidian new energy automobile community obtained a set of "electric vehicle charger" appearance patent diagrams published by Weilai Automobile Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. from the State Patent Office.
It is speculated that this "electric vehicle charger" will be the official portable two-way charging and discharging device to be released by Weilai officially. Only through the appearance of the patent drawing we can not speculate on the physical volume and specific material, but based on the line drawing and modeling diagram, Weidian itself colored to draw the imaginary appearance of the charging and discharging equipment.
At the same time, there are also patents for the appearance of "electric connector", DC "charging gun" and "adapter", and the adapter also provides two use states of the telescopic plug. We guess that when used at that time, the user will connect the "electrical connector" with the "adapter" and the "two-way charging and discharging device", the "adapter" will be used as a charging gun when the plug is extended, and the upper jack will be used as a discharge gun when hidden.
The external discharge function can be called the soul of new energy vehicles, and the reverse release of 220V household electricity can not only provide a more convenient and high-quality life for entertainment travel, but also play a strategic role in mobile energy storage stations in emergency moments.
BYD, Lantu, Extreme Krypton and other brand vehicles have built-in two-way OBC when they leave the factory to achieve AC external discharge, while the entire series of WEILAI is not equipped. At this time, if you want to add an external discharge function, the only solution is the external inverter equipment, DCAC direct current alternating current, for production and life.
In June last year, the mileage worry-free experience department of WEILAI manufacturers held a "portable two-way charge-discharge mode special experience salon" with users. After a year, the official equipment has finally come out, this product not only undertakes the task of discharging the current ES6, ES8 and EC6 models, but most importantly - ET7 cancels the on-board charger (OBC), and if the user does not have the conditions for power replacement and DC charging, he must use such an ACDC device to recharge the power.
So what if you are not an ET7 owner and just want to use the discharge function? Looking at the current external discharge gun products, in addition to the leading brand "WeiDian Power Weidianbao Mobile Power Station" in terms of appearance and operation logic to meet the consumer-grade product standards, more third-party equipment is more like an electrician-specific "engineering machine", users inevitably have doubts about its safety and after-sales.
Weilai's official entry into the field of charging and discharging can undoubtedly pull this industry from the gray area of unclear policies in the past to the table, the advantages of the official and the third party complement each other, the high-quality third-party products are on the next level, and the miscellaneous third-party products are completely eliminated. For users, being able to choose products that are more suitable for themselves according to their own needs and block out unqualified products is a good thing for consumers to use the experience and the development of the industry.
Not only Weilai, ideal official will also provide external discharge connection equipment solutions for 2020 ideal ONE, or select 1 to 2 high-quality third-party products for certification.
