Two common misunderstandings

Around charging alerts, two myths travel far. One treats every alert as a crisis, the other ignores them completely. The closer-to-truth view is that recorded data is more reliable than personal experience, so take neither extreme and you stay safe and in control.

What to do when an alert appears

If an alert leads to a real situation, follow three steps: stop using the equipment and keep the scene, contact the responsible party and explain, then keep a clear record. Leaving a trace makes later review far easier, and safety should be a habit, not an emergency.

A quick self-check list

Is the cable sheath intact with no damage. Is the connector loose or warm. Is the space ventilated, dry, and free of standing water. Does the plug match the socket. A minute of checking prevents most surprises, and Dongshang New Energy publishes plain guidance for drivers.
