Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of AC charging piles, and in particular to a charging control module supporting multiple communication modes. Background Art
[0002] Charging stations are categorized as DC, AC, and integrated AC / DC. DC charging stations typically offer higher power, ranging from 80kW, 120kW, and 160kW, commonly known as "fast charging."

Charging stations can be activated using a charging card, Bluetooth, 4G wireless, or Ethernet. Charging data and parameter settings are displayed on a screen or via an app.
