The poor braking performance of new energy vehicles is an extremely rare occurrence, so there's no need to worry. The reasons why new energy vehicles may fail to brake properly are as follows: Lack of maintenance: The inability to brake may be due to a lack of necessary maintenance on the braking system, excessive impurities in the brake master cylinder, or failure of the vacuum booster pump. Improper operation: Mechanical failure caused by improper operation, such as prolonged downhill driving, can lead to brake pads overheating due to friction, carbonization of the brake drum, and complete failure of the braking function. Overloading: Severe overloading increases the vehicle's inertia under the effect of gravitational acceleration, directly leading to brake failure. Methods to prevent brake failure include: regular inspection and maintenance of the brake pedal, brake discs and pads, brake vacuum booster pump, and regular checking and replacement of brake fluid.

Actually, I don't quite agree with this statement. I've been driving a new energy vehicle for over two years now, and as an ordinary user, I don't think the braking is inadequate—on the contrary, it's quite reliable. At first, it did feel a bit different, mainly because new energy vehicles have a regenerative braking system. When you press the brake, it prioritizes using energy recovery to slow down, which feels smoother at light pressure before the physical brakes engage. This design reduces brake pad wear but might make drivers accustomed to traditional fuel cars feel the response is slower. In reality, overall braking performance meets standards, and it can stop promptly in emergencies. I suggest new owners gradually adapt to this driving style—it just takes some getting used to. In terms of safety, new energy vehicles undergo rigorous testing; it's not that the brakes are inadequate, but rather that the design prioritizes energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. Of course, regular maintenance checks are also important—take it to the shop for inspections. As long as it's used normally, it won't compromise driving safety.

What causes BMW N52 engine idle jerking without fault codes?

BMW N52 engine idle jerking is typically caused by excessive carbon buildup in the intake tract or cylinder misfire. Below are detailed explanations: Severe engine carbon deposits: Engine carbon buildup is the primary cause of vehicle shaking. When excessive carbon accumulates inside the engine, the gasoline injected by cold-start fuel injectors gets largely absorbed by the deposits, resulting in an over-lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making ignition more difficult. Ignition system malfunction: Spark plugs with excessive carbon deposits or overly wide electrode gaps require replacement. The operational status of high-voltage wires and ignition coils can be diagnosed using automotive diagnostic computers to determine the ignition system's condition.

How to Open the Car Door When the Car Battery Is Dead?

Introduction to opening the car door when the car battery is dead: 1. If there is a keyhole, you can open it directly. It is usually found on the left door handle. Remove the handle cover to locate the key slot, then insert the key to open the door. 2. Remote Key: Utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central lock, allowing you to unlock and lock the door from a distance without inserting the key into the keyhole. Its greatest advantage is that, regardless of day or night, you can conveniently unlock (open) and lock the door from a distance without needing to locate the keyhole. The remote key controls the device via radio waves and is commonly used with smart door locks.

Is there a difference between 91v and 91h tires?

Tires marked 91v and 91h do have differences, which mainly lie in their speed ratings: a 91v tire has a maximum speed of 240 km/h, while a 91h tire is rated for 210 km/h. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Their functions include: 1. Working with the road surface and vehicle suspension to absorb shocks during driving; 2. Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. Maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 4. Enhancing the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities; 5. Supporting the weight of the vehicle.
