Natural gas vehicles do not belong to the category of new energy vehicles. Types of new energy vehicles: Pure electric vehicles, as the name suggests, are completely powered by rechargeable batteries. Practical models in this category usually adopt a single-motor layout. Hybrid vehicles are a broad classification that includes hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and range-extended electric vehicles (REEV). Disadvantages of new energy vehicles: High energy consumption: Although new energy vehicles do not consume gasoline, they require electricity. In terms of energy consumption, new energy vehicles do not significantly reduce energy usage compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. Limited charging infrastructure: While some first-tier cities have gradually popularized charging stations, the number of charging stations nationwide remains insufficient. Poor safety: Compared to fuel-powered vehicles, new energy vehicles actually have worse safety records, with frequent incidents of spontaneous combustion. Additionally, sudden power loss can be dangerous, especially when stranded on highways. Regarding range issues, the battery efficiency of new energy vehicles is also poorer in winter, making them more prone to safety accidents on the road.

Can the Accord Hybrid Get a Green License Plate?

The Accord Hybrid is a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle and cannot qualify for a green license plate. Gasoline-electric hybrid cars are not considered true new energy vehicles; strictly speaking, they are only classified as energy-saving vehicles. The engine of a hybrid car still relies on fuel, though it recovers excess energy from the engine and friction from the brakes, storing it in capacitors when coasting or braking. While hybrid technology achieves fuel efficiency without requiring external charging, these vehicles still consume gasoline and produce emissions. The Accord Hybrid has body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.

How to reset the tire pressure light on the 2018 Lavida?

The method to reset the tire pressure light on the 2018 Lavida: 1. First, check the condition of the vehicle's tires. Replace any damaged tires promptly. If there are no safety hazards, you can replenish the tire pressure; 2. After replenishing the tire pressure, turn off the ignition switch and then restart it to allow the vehicle to perform a self-check. If the tire pressure warning light still appears at this time, you can press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button on the right side in front of the gear lever for about five seconds. You will hear a 'ding' sound, indicating that the tire pressure reset is successful; 3. At this point, you can release the button and check if the tire pressure warning light appears on the dashboard. If the tire pressure warning light still appears, some Lavida vehicles use an automatic tire pressure monitoring system. Therefore, driving the vehicle for a while allows the system to monitor the tire pressure, and the tire pressure warning light will automatically turn off when the pressure is normal. The body dimensions of the 2018 Lavida are 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.

How to eliminate the code on the car?

If the car displays a code fault warning, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for handling and elimination. This fault code indicates that the car's anti-theft system has been activated, and the car cannot be ignited. If an attempt is made to ignite, the car will be locked. The car anti-theft system refers to a system that prevents the car itself or items on the car from being stolen. Its components include an electronically controlled remote or key, an electronic control circuit, an alarm device, and an actuator. The code system adds electronic identification to the car's locks, generally equipped with remote control technology, which is a more advanced anti-theft technology with functions such as anti-theft alarm, door open warning, and car-finding.

What Causes a High Temperature Gauge in Small Cars?

Reasons for a high temperature gauge in small cars: 1. Insufficient coolant: Coolant leakage or low coolant levels can cause the engine temperature to rise. In this case, check the coolant level and top it up to the appropriate level if necessary; 2. Faulty cooling fan: When the vehicle is running at high speeds, heat cannot be effectively transferred to the antifreeze, affecting heat dissipation. This leads to an increase in antifreeze temperature, potentially causing overheating; 3. Faulty water pump: Water pump issues include seized bearings and damaged impellers. Seized bearings are relatively rare, while damaged impellers, such as cracked impellers or impellers loosening from the pump shaft, can slow down coolant circulation, often resulting in engine overheating.
