1. Detection Technology for Electric Vehicle Charging PilesEV charging piles are primarily divided into two categories:DC charging pilesandAC charging piles. Let's start with DC charging piles: they communicate with the EV's battery management system (BMS) and directly charge the power battery through the DC charging interface. AC charging piles, on the other hand, rely on the EV's AC charging interface and use the vehicle-mounted charger to complete the charging process. These two types of char
