What is the difference between plug-in hybrid fast charge and slow charge?

There are some differences between fast charging and slow charging of plug-in hybrid vehicles in terms of charging speed, charging cost and applicable scenarios.
Charging speed: Fast charge is able to charge the battery at a higher power to quickly full charge, while slow charge is charged at a lower power and takes longer to fully charge the battery. Generally speaking, slow charging of new energy vehicles takes 8-10 hours to fully charge the battery, and fast charging only takes 1 hour to charge the battery to 80% of the electricity.
Charging costs: Because fast charging uses high-power electricity, charging costs are much higher than slow charging.
Application scenario: Fast charging and slow charging are applicable to different scenarios. Fast charge is suitable for short trips or when charging is urgently needed, it can be fully charged in tens of minutes. Slow charging is suitable for longer stays, such as fully charging the vehicle before stopping at night for the next day.
Charging pile interface: Fast charging refers to high-power DC charging, using the DC charging pile charging interface. Slow charge refers to AC charging, using AC charging pile charging interface. Charging method: Fast charging is to convert the alternating current of the grid into direct current, which is transmitted to the fast charging port of the electric vehicle, and the electric energy is directly charged into the battery. Slow charge is to input alternating current from the grid into the slow charge port of the electric vehicle, convert alternating current into direct current through the charger inside the car, and then input the battery to complete the charging. In short, the fast charging and slow charging of plug-in hybrid vehicles have their own characteristics, and users can choose the appropriate charging method according to the actual needs.


Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be charged in two ways: fast charge and slow charge. The following is the difference between plug-in hybrid fast charge and slow charge:

< br >

1. Charging speed: fast charging is faster than slow charging. The fast charge can usually be fully charged in a short period of time, and the charging speed is usually above 80 kW. Slow charging takes a longer time to complete the charging process, and the charging speed is usually between 3.3 kW and 7.2 kW.

< br >

2. Charging equipment: Fast charging usually requires special fast charging equipment to charge, while slow charging can be charged using ordinary household sockets.

< br >

3. Charging efficiency: The charging efficiency of fast charging is usually higher than that of slow charging, and the electrical energy can be converted into the energy stored by the battery faster. The charging efficiency of a slow charge is relatively low, because a longer charging time may result in some energy being wasted.

< br >

4. Usage scenario: Fast charge is suitable for situations where fast charging is needed, such as long distance travel or when power is urgently needed. Slow charge is suitable for everyday charging needs, such as charging at home, in the office or in the parking lot.

It should be noted that different plug-in hybrid vehicles may support different charging speeds and charging devices. When choosing the charging method, it is necessary to choose according to the characteristics and actual needs of the vehicle.


The fast charging and slow charging of plug-in hybrid vehicles refer to the difference in charging speed.

Fast charge refers to the use of high power current to quickly charge electrical energy into the battery in order to quickly fill the battery. Fast charging is fast, and the battery can usually be fully charged in a relatively short time. A typical fast charge can reach 50 kilowatts or more, and the charging time is usually between 30 minutes and an hour.

Slow charging refers to the use of low power current to slowly charge the battery for more safe and stable charging. Slow charging is relatively slow and usually takes several to dozens of hours to fully charge the battery. Typical slow charge power can reach 2 to 10 kilowatts.

Choosing fast charge or slow charge depends on the needs and conditions of the user. If the battery needs to be fully charged in a shorter period of time, or if a long drive is required, a fast charge may be a better choice. If the user has enough time and wants the charging process to be safer and more stable, then a slow charge may be more appropriate.

It should be noted that plug-in hybrid vehicles usually support two charging methods: fast charge and slow charge, and users can choose the appropriate charging method according to the actual situation.


1 is the charging speed and charging efficiency.
2 Plug-in hybrid fast charge can be charged faster, usually only tens of minutes to an hour to full. Slow charges take much longer and can take hours or more to fully charge the battery.
3 Fast charge technology uses higher current and power, which can deliver electrical energy to the battery faster and improve charging efficiency.
The slow charge uses lower current and power, and the charging speed is slower.
4 Fast charge is suitable for those scenarios that require fast charging, such as when traveling, you can quickly charge in order to continue using. Slow charge is suitable for staying in one place for a long time, such as at home or in the office, and can be slowly charged without affecting use.
5 It should be noted that fast charging may have a certain impact on battery life, because high power charging may cause the battery to heat up, and long-term use of fast charging may accelerate the aging of the battery.
Therefore, the choice of charging method needs to be balanced according to the specific needs and circumstances.


There is a significant difference between fast charging and slow charging for plug-in hybrid cars. The fast charge mainly uses DC charging mode, and its voltage is generally greater than the battery voltage, and the alternating current needs to be converted into direct current through the rectifier device. The charging current in this way is large, which is ten times or even dozens of times that of conventional charging current. However, the installation requirements and cost of fast charging equipment are high, and the impact on the battery is large in a short period of time, which may cause the active substance of the battery to fall off and the battery to heat up, which may affect the service life of the battery in the long run.

Slow charging, by contrast, charges the device battery at a lower speed, which not only reduces heat and battery stress, but also benefits the long-term health of the battery. However, the disadvantage of slow charging is also obvious, that is, the charging time is longer, which may only meet the needs of vehicles that operate during the day and rest at night.

It should be noted that plug-in hybrid vehicles are generally relatively small electric mileage, less than 100 kilometers, so the application of fast charge technology is not widely, mainly considering the cost factor. In addition, because the battery of a plug-in hybrid car is smaller than that of a pure electric vehicle, it cannot withstand high current, so it cannot be charged fast.


The charging power is not the same, and the charging speed is different.

< br >

The slow charge line and gun head of the plug-in hybrid car are basically seven-hole slow charge guns, which can be plugged into the 220 volt three-phase socket at home to charge, that is, the charging time is longer, so the manufacturer gives the user a charging pile, the charging speed can basically be doubled, but the power of the charging pile is much larger, and some home lines can not withstand it. You need to apply for a professional to pull the line.


1 is the charging speed and charging efficiency.
2 Plug-in hybrid fast charge can charge faster, and usually can fully charge the battery in a short time. This is because fast-charge technology can provide higher charging power, allowing the battery to absorb electricity faster.
3 Slow charge is a relatively slow charging method, the charging power is low, and it takes a long time to fill the battery.
The advantage of slow charging is that the current is smaller when charging, and the loss of the battery is smaller, which helps to extend the service life of the battery.
4 When selecting the charging method, it needs to be determined according to the specific situation.
If time is tight and fast charging is needed, then plug-in hybrid fast charging is a better choice.
If there is no time limit and more attention is paid to the health and life of the battery, then slow charging is a better choice.
5 In addition, you also need to consider the compatibility of the charging device.
Some models may only support specific charging methods, so when buying a plug-in hybrid vehicle, pay attention to the compatibility of the charging device.


1 Fast charge good 2 Fast charge can charge the battery faster, saving the user's charging time.
In contrast, slow charging takes longer to complete the charging process.
3 Plug-in hybrid vehicles usually have a large battery capacity, so using a fast charge can fill the battery faster and improve the vehicle's driving range. In addition, the fast charge technology can also reduce the heat generated by the battery during charging and extend the service life of the battery.
4 In addition, fast charging technology is also developing, and there may be faster charging speed and higher efficiency in the future, making fast charging a more convenient and efficient way of charging.
Therefore, when choosing a plug-in hybrid vehicle, fast charging is a good choice.


The fast charging and slow charging of plug-in hybrid vehicles refer to the difference in charging speed. Fast charging usually uses high-power charging devices that can fill the battery in a short period of time and charge faster. Slow charge uses a low-power charging device that charges slowly and takes longer to full the battery.

Fast charge is suitable for fast charging in emergency situations, while slow charge is suitable for charging at night or when parking for a long time.

Fast charging devices typically require a higher investment and a larger power supply, while slow charging devices are cheaper and more common.
