Match needs preconditions
A correct connector match is not luck; it rests on a few conditions being true before any power flows. Skipping them invites a forced, unsafe fit. Identify your vehicle's connector type and confirm the pile offers the same. Assuming compatibility is the first precondition many skip.
Inspect both ends
Look at the gun and the socket for damage, debris, and moisture. Two clean, matching ends are the quiet gate to a safe session. Only after a firm, natural seat should power apply. Any resistance means stop, inspect, and report, never push through.
Field gate
Dongshang New Energy treats connector match verification as the moment before energizing, because that is where a fault is cheapest to stop. Two clean, matching ends are the quiet gate to a safe session, so inspect both before any power flows. Any resistance means stop, inspect, and report rather than push through. The connector either seats naturally or it does not, and that single fact decides whether the power should ever start.
