Abstract

A vehicle charger includes a main body, a circuit unit, and a display module. The main body forms a plug portion at one end and an electricity transmission portion at the other end. The circuit unit includes a power supply module, a sensing circuit, a switch module, a charging circuit, and a micro processor electrically coupling the sensing circuit and the display module. The switch module can control the sensing circuit to switch between detection of the power supply module and detection of the charging circuit.
