"Why did the charging stop?"

"The gun jumped. Is there something wrong with the pile?"

At 1 a.m., I saw on my phone that the car could not be charged

I had an urgent matter the next day

I believe that all new energy vehicle users must have encountered such situations when using charging piles.

Indeed, new energy vehicles are everyone's means of transportation.

Stable energy replenishment methods are the key and the foundation.

Unexpected situations such as "charging interruption" and "jumping gun" will have a direct impact on the user experience of new energy vehicles.

So, are these situations really problems with charging piles?

What is "jumping gun"

"Jumping gun" refers to the phenomenon that charging stops due to various reasons during the charging process. This situation usually affects our charging experience. In fact, "jumping the gun" is not uncommon. In some charging stations, car owners often have to re-plug the charging gun or even replace the charging pile because of charging jumping guns. Some car owners frequently encounter jumping guns during charging, which seriously affects the charging efficiency and user experience.

However, "jumping gun" is not entirely a problem with the pile, and specific problems need to be analyzed specifically. For ourselves, we can start by identifying regular charging brands and services, choosing a suitable charging environment, and following the correct charging operation steps, etc., to try to avoid "jumping gun" problems caused by human factors.

A multi-faceted analysis of the reasons for “jumping gun”

From the perspective of charging piles, the wear of the charging gun head, the aging failure of the gun line, and the presence of foreign matter and water stains on the charging interface can also cause “jumping gun”. In order to improve the user's charging experience, Champion Charging uses ultrasonic welding technology on the charging gun. Its application can improve the density of the welding part. When the density of the welding part increases, the contact area becomes larger, thereby improving the conductivity and reducing the heat generation. The reduction in heat generation can improve the durability of the product and make the welding part less likely to heat up. The “jumping gun” phenomenon is also reduced.

From the perspective of the vehicle, the “jumping gun”problem is mainly concentrated on poor contact of the charging interface line, charging interface failure, and BMS (battery management system) module failure. Especially after long-term use, the charging interface will inevitably wear out due to frequent and violent gun insertion operations, which increases the possibility of “jumping gun”occurrence.

In addition, the charging gun is equipped with a charging thermal protection device. In summer, long-term charging of new energy vehicles can easily cause the temperature of the vehicle charging interface to be too high. At this time, the charging temperature rises to the warning line, and the system will automatically stop charging and cause the gun to jump. It is mainly to prevent the vehicle charging interface from overheating during the charging process.

When the power is turned on during charging, some vehicles will cut off the power for self-protection, which can also cause the gun to jump. If the gun jumps frequently during charging, it is recommended that you contact the charging pile and vehicle after-sales. Professionals can conduct inspections to avoid safety accidents during use. In general, there are many reasons for the gun jumping when charging new energy vehicles. Understanding these reasons can help car owners better deal with the problem of gun jumping and improve charging efficiency and user experience.

Countermeasures and precautions

When the charging gun jumps, you can try to reinsert the gun to see if it can be restored to normal charging. If the gun still jumps after reinserting the gun, you can consider replacing the charging pile. If charging still cannot be started after replacing the charging pile, it is recommended that the owner promptly consult the customer service staff to understand the situation of other available charging piles nearby. At the same time, if the gun jumps frequently, be sure to contact the charging pile and vehicle after-sales service and let professionals conduct inspections. This can avoid safety accidents during use and ensure the safety and reliability of the charging process.

In addition, battery overheating is also the main reason for "jumping gun". When the weather temperature is too high, it is recommended to choose an outdoor station with a canopy or an indoor station, and try to avoid charging in direct sunlight. At the same time, it is not recommended to charge directly after turning off the engine. You can park the car in a cool place for about 10 minutes and wait for the battery temperature to drop before charging.
