1. Choose the Right Charger for Your Needs
Not all EV chargers are created equal. Nexway offers a range of options, from portable units for on-the-go charging to high-power stations for commercial use. Before purchasing, consider:
Charging Speed: Level 1 (120V) for home use, Level 2 (240V) for faster charging, or DC fast chargers for quick top-ups.
Compatibility: Ensure the charger supports your vehicle's plug type (e.g., CCS, CHAdeMO, or Type 2adapters).
2. Inspect Charging Equipment Regularly
Faulty cables or connectors can pose safety risks. Follow these steps:
Check for Damage: Look for frayed wires, cracks, or exposed parts.
Clean Connectors: Remove dirt or debris that could interfere with charging.
Test Functionality: Use Nexway's app-enabled chargers to monitor performance and detect issues early.

Improper installation can lead to electrical hazards. Whether at home or a business site:
Hire a Professional: Certified electricians ensure compliance with local codes.
Use Quality Components:
Nexway chargers come with UL-certified parts for maximum safety.
Avoid Overloading Circuits: Ensure your electrical system can handle the charger's power requirements.

Simple habits can prevent accidents and extend your charger's lifespan:
Avoid Extension Cords: They can overheat and cause fires.
Unplug After Charging: Reduces wear on the connector and saves energy.
