[0002] New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as the power source, integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive, and form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, and other new energy vehicles. Most current new energy vehicles are pure electric. A pure electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses a single battery as the energy storage power source. It uses the battery as the energy storage power source, supplies electrical energy from the battery to the motor, drives the motor to operate, and thus propels the vehicle forward. Therefore, a socket is essential for the charging process of a pure electric vehicle, and the vehicle needs to be charged regularly.

[0003] The relatively common charging methods for existing new energy vehicles are charging with a charging pile and charging with a portable charger. Charging with a charging pile needs to be carried out at a designated place, while charging with a portable charger can be carried out at any location.
