Hybrid cars are fuel-efficient, not just in specific situations, but whether on highways or in urban areas, whether the roads are clear or congested, and regardless of whether the driver is gentle or aggressive—their fuel consumption remains very low. Due to the addition of a generator, hybrid electric vehicles can keep the engine in an optimal working state, thereby achieving lower fuel consumption. Hybrid power generally refers to the combination of fuel and electric energy. Hybrid vehicles use an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to assist the engine, and this auxiliary electric motor can generate strong and smooth power during normal driving. As a result, drivers can enjoy more powerful starts and acceleration.

Does a newly installed battery need to be charged?

Newly installed batteries do not require charging. If going out or not in use for an extended period, charge it once a month. The charging time should be controlled at around 8 hours. Stop charging 1-2 hours after the charger indicator light turns from red to green, completing the charging process. After using the battery for half a year, discharge it once every month, then recharge the electric vehicle battery, controlling the time within 12 hours. When the battery's power significantly decreases or the electric vehicle charger does not switch lights during charging, distilled water needs to be added to the battery. Batteries should be inspected regularly. During use, if the electric bicycle's range suddenly drops by more than ten kilometers in a short time, it may indicate that at least one battery in the battery pack has issues such as broken grids, softened plates, or shedding of active material from the plates, leading to short-circuit phenomena.

How to Use the Air Conditioning in a Car?

Steps to use the air conditioning in a car: 1. Open the car doors and windows; 2. Use the fan for ventilation, wait two to three minutes for the hot air to dissipate before entering and starting the car; 3. Do not rush to close the windows, first turn on the external air circulation; 4. When the temperature inside and outside the car is similar, close the windows and switch to internal air circulation. After a car has been exposed to the sun in summer, do not immediately turn on the air conditioning upon entering. Instead, open all four doors first and allow natural ventilation for 5 minutes before turning on the air conditioning. Using the air conditioning during low-speed driving, especially when encountering traffic congestion, causes the engine to run at artificially higher speeds, which can reduce the lifespan of both the engine and the air conditioning compressor. Prolonged use of the air conditioning can lead to excessive pressure on the condenser, causing wear and tear on the cooling system.
