2. Confirm power supply

Before installing the charging station, it is necessary to confirm the power supply required for the charging station. In general, the voltage used for charging stations is 220V and 380V. It is necessary to choose the appropriate voltage according to the needs of the charging station.

3. Install brackets and foundations

After confirming the installation position and power supply of the charging station, it is necessary to install the bracket and foundation. The support and foundation need to be made of high-strength materials to ensure the safety of the charging station.

4. Install the charging station body
After the installation of the bracket and foundation is completed, the charging station body needs to be installed. It is necessary to correctly connect the charging station to the power supply according to the user manual, and check whether the power input line and hose of the charging station are loose.

5. Conduct acceptance testing
After installation, acceptance testing is required. Check if the charging station is working properly, and check if the input voltage, output voltage, current and other parameters are normal.

2、 The cost of charging stations

The cost of charging stations mainly consists of the following parts:

1. Charging station body cost

The prices of different types of charging stations vary. Generally, the price of household charging stations ranges from 3000 to 10000 yuan, while the price of commercial charging stations ranges from 8000 to 40000 yuan.

2. Installation costs

The installation cost is mainly determined by the installation location of the charging station and the difficulty of installing the main body. Generally, the installation cost of household charging stations is between 1000 and 3000 yuan, and the installation cost of commercial charging stations is between 3000 and 10000 yuan.

3. Electricity bill

Charging a charging station requires the consumption of electricity, therefore it is necessary to calculate the electricity consumption of the charging station. In general, the electricity cost is between 0.5 yuan and 1.5 yuan per kilowatt hour, and the charging cost is not included in the purchase cost of the charging station, which needs to be borne by the car owner.
