Can a New Energy Vehicle Be Left Unused for Half a Year?
1 Answers
No, for new energy vehicles, the most important component is the power battery, which has a self-discharge property. Therefore, if the vehicle is left unused for a long time, the power battery's charge will gradually decrease, eventually leading to battery depletion. Here are some additional details: 1. Battery depletion over time: This can cause a reduction in capacity and shorten the battery's lifespan. In severe cases, it may even lead to internal short circuits and potential fire hazards. Hence, during prolonged periods of inactivity, it is generally recommended to charge the vehicle 1-2 times a month to maintain battery activity, aiming to keep the charge level between 60-80%. 2. Tire protection during long-term parking: It's advisable to inflate the tires to the appropriate pressure or slightly higher, as prolonged inactivity may lead to insufficient tire pressure when the vehicle is used again.
