Sources said that Xiaopeng overcharged the upper limit adjustment, charging to 95% of the automatic power off

CTOnews.com, August 10, due to problems such as DC fast charging environment and battery overcharging, new energy vehicles have hidden dangers during charging and even occasional accidents of smoking and spontaneous combustion, so relevant departments and companies have also taken certain measures. This week, a blogger exposed a notice from Xiaopeng car, which said:

In order to charge safely and to respond to the guidance of the competent department on charging safety, the upper threshold of SOC in the charging facility of this station is 95%. Now that the charging has been completed, please drive out of the parking space so as not to be charged with the occupation fee.

To put it simply, Xiaopeng will automatically end charging and settle orders when it reaches 95% of the charging limit at its self-operated charging posts. Xiaopeng official said that it attaches great importance to the user experience. The adjustment of the full charge limit of Xiaopeng self-charging station is also to better protect the charging safety of users and effectively reduce the hidden dangers.

The blogger also revealed that "recently, all fast charging piles have adjusted their SOC strategy in accordance with the requirements of the relevant departments, and the power is automatically cut off until 95% of the time."

It is reported that when the new energy vehicle is overcharged, the vehicle charging management system does not automatically break off the charge, resulting in the formation of crystals inside the battery to break down the positive and negative electrode diaphragm, causing the power battery to short circuit and catch fire.

As a result, Southern Power Grid and State Grid have also issued announcements to limit the charging limit to avoid safety accidents such as overcharging.
