A Facebook thread kubva kuElectric Vehicle Association yeAlberta (EVAA) inoratidza zvakakosha pamusoro pezviitiko zvevashandisi veEV pakuchaja motokari dzavo vachishandisa mazinga akasiyana emagetsi, kunyanya Level 1 (110V/120V) uye Level 2 (220V/240V) outlets. Heano maonero makuru:
Level 1 Charging Viability: Vazhinji vevashandisi veEV vanowana kuti Level 1 charging (uchishandisa ma110V/120V outlets) inokwana kune zvido zvavo zvezuva nezuva, kunyanya kana kufamba kwavo kuri kwechinguva pfupi (semuenzaniso, 30-50 km pazuva). Kunyange mumamiriro ekutonhora, Level 1 charging inogona kuchengetedza mazinga ebhatiri, kunyangwe inogona kunonoka uye isingashande zvakanaka panguva yekutonhora kwakanyanya.
Level 2 Charging Advantages: Kunyange zvazvo Level 1 charging kazhinji ichikwana, vamwe vashandisi vakataura nezvekugadzirisa kuLevel 2 chargers kuti vawane nguva dzekuchaja dzinokurumidza. Izvi zvinobatsira zvikuru kune avo vane kufamba kwenguva refu kana mabhatiri makuru, sezvo Level 1 charging inogona kutora nguva yakareba kuti idzore bhatiri.
Adaptation to Cold Weather: Vamwe vashandisi vakagovana kuti kutonhora kunoderedza kushanda kwekuchaja uye kuwanda, zvichiita kuti Level 2 chargers ave nemukurumbira mumamiriro aya. Zvisinei, kunyange mumamiriro ekutonhora kwakanyanya, vazhinji vachiri kugadzirisa neLevel 1 charging nekugadzirisa maitiro avo kana kuwedzera nemikana yekuchaja yeruzhinji.
Public Charging Use: Vashandisi veEV vanowanzotora mukana wezvivharo zveLevel 2 neDC fast chargers, kunyanya kana kuchaja kwavo kumba kuchinonoka kana kusiri nyore. Zvivharo zveveruzhinji zvinobatsira zvikuru kune avo vanogara mumapato kana matownhouses pasina nyore kuwana kuchaja kumba.
Cost and Infrastructure Considerations: Chisarudzo chekugadzira Level 2 charger kumba kazhinji chinobva pamutengo, nyore, uye maitiro ekutyaira. Vamwe vashandisi vakakanganisa kugadzirisa kuLevel 2 nekuda kwemutengo wakakwirira wekuisa, nepo vamwe vakagadzirisa neLevel 1 charging, kunyanya kana zvido zvavo zvekutyaira zvaive zvishoma.
Lifestyle Integration: Vashandisi veEV vari kuwana nzira dzekubatanidza kuchaja muupenyu hwavo hwezuva nezuva, sekuchaja pabasa, panguva yezviitiko, kana panguva yekuita mimwe mitambo sekuenda kana kuita maekisesaizi. Izvi zvinoratidza maitiro akakura ekugadzirisa kune EV lifestyle nekugadzirisa kuchaja pamaitiro ezuva nezuva.
User Satisfaction: Kunyange nematambudziko ekuchaja kunonoka uye kutonhora, vazhinji vevashandisi vakaratidza kugutsikana nemotokari dzavo dzeEV uye nemaitiro ekuchaja avakaita. Kuchinja kuenda kumagetsi mota kunoonekwa zvakanaka, nevazhinji vevashandisi vachikurudzira kuchengetedza mari uye chiitiko chekutyaira.
Pakazara, thread inoratidza kuti kunyange Level 1 charging kazhinji ichikwana kune vazhinji vevashandisi veEV, avo vane zvido zvekutyaira zvakakwirira kana vanogara mumamiriro ekutonhora vangawana Level 2 chargers achibatsira zvikuru. Kuchaja kweveruzhinji kuchiri chikamu chakakosha chechikamu chekuchaja, kunyanya kune avo vasina nyore kuwana mhinduro dzekuchaja kumba dzinokurumidza.
Alberta neCold-Climate Provinces: Advantage Yakasarudzika

Alberta nemamwe mapurovhinzi nematunhu anotonhora ane mukana wakasarudzika pakuchinja kuenda kumagetsi mota (EVs). Iyi mukana inobva pakupfuurira kwekuvepo kwemagetsi e120V, ayo akatanga kuiswa kuti abatsire block heaters kumotokari dzemagetsi (ICE) panguva yekutonhora.
Ubiquity ye120V Outlets
- Block Heater Infrastructure: Munzvimbo dzakaita seAlberta, uko tembiricha yechando inogona kudonha kusvika -30°C kana pasi, block heaters ibasa rakakosha kumotokari dzeICE. Block heaters dzinodzivirira mafuta enjini kuti asafreeze, zvichiita kuti zvive nyore kutanga motokari mumamiriro ekutonhora. Kuti tsigire block heaters, ma120V outlets akaiswa munzvimbo dzese dzekupaka, garages, uye ma driveways.
- Repurposing yeEV Charging: Aya ma120V outlets akapararira ari kutoshandiswa zvakare pakuchaja Level 1 EV. Sezvakataurwa nevakawanda vevatori vechikamu mu thread, iyi infrastructure iripo inobvumira kuchinja kuri nyore uye kwakachipa kuenda kumotokari dzeEV, kunyange mumamiriro ekutonhora. Izvi zvinonyanya kubatsira munzvimbo dzinotora nguva refu kuti vawane Level 2 charging, izvo zvinogona kunge zviri pamutengo wakakwirira kana zvisina kukodzera kune avo vane kufamba kwenguva pfupi.
Irony yeBlock Heater Infrastructure
- Facilitating Electrification: Infrastructure yakatanga kuvakwa kutsigira block heaters yemotokari dzeICE ikozvino inobatsira mukuchaja kwemagetsi kwekutakura. Kuvepo kwemagetsi e120V kunoreva kuti vashandisi veEV munzvimbo idzi vanogona nyore kuchaja motokari dzavo usiku, vachichengetedza kuwanda kwakakwana kwekushandisa kwezuva pasina mari yakawanda yekuwedzera mu infrastructure yekuchaja.
- Cold Weather Adaptation: Iyo imwe chete yekutonhora iyo yakaunza block heaters inobatawo kushanda kwemabhatiri eEV, ichideredza kuwanda uye kushanda kwekuchaja. Zvisinei, infrastructure yakagadzirirwa kuderedza mhedzisiro yekutonhora pamotokari dzeICE ikozvino inotsigira vashandisi veEV munzvimbo idzi, ichivabvumira kuchengetedza kushanda kwemotokari dzavo kunyange mumamiriro ekutonhora kwakanyanya.
Mhedziso
Infrastructure iripo ye120V outlets munzvimbo dzinotonhora seAlberta inopa mukana wakasarudzika mukuchinja kuenda kumotokari dzeEV. Kunyange zvazvo aya ma outlets akatanga kuiswa kuti abatsire block heaters kumotokari dzeICE, ikozvino anotsigira kuchaja Level 1 EV, achibatsira kutora kuenda kumotokari dzemagetsi. Iyi shanduko ye infrastructure inonakidza (ichifunga nezvekukakavadzana kuri pakati pevatyairi veICE/EV) uye inobatsira, sezvo ichibvumira vagari vemunzvimbo idzi kutora EVs pasina chido chekutanga chekuwedzera mari pakuchaja kwavo. Saka tinokutendai kune vedu vekare veICE motokari nekuda kwe infrastructure iri kutungamira nzira ye ramangwana rakachena, rakasvibira. Uye chimbomira pamavhiri eblock heater—pakupedzisira, vari kubhadhara mutengo wakakwirira pese pavanopinda pamhepo.
