Plug-in hybrid cannot run without charging all the time. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a type of vehicle between an electric vehicle and a fuel vehicle, equipped with both the engine, transmission, drive system, fuel line, and fuel tank of a traditional fuel vehicle, as well as the battery, motor, and control circuit of an electric vehicle. The battery capacity can also support driving in pure electric mode for a certain distance and provides a charging interface. Plug-in hybrid vehicles will not run out of power while driving. If there are charging piles nearby, they can be driven as an electric vehicle. When driving a plug-in hybrid vehicle, it can operate in pure electric mode or hybrid mode. In the battery hold mode, the vehicle is also in hybrid mode, similar to a regular hybrid vehicle. It starts in pure electric mode, the engine intervenes when speed increases, and kinetic energy is recovered during coasting and braking.

How to Clean Throttle Carbon Deposits?

Cleaning throttle carbon deposits involves the following steps: 1. Remove the intake hose to expose the throttle body; 2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and turn off the ignition switch; 3. Straighten the throttle plate and spray a small amount of carburetor cleaner into the throttle body; 4. Use a polyester cloth or non-woven fabric to wipe clean. For hard-to-reach areas inside the throttle, use a clip to hold the cloth for cleaning. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. After entering the intake manifold, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. The throttle connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, earning it the nickname "the throat of the automobile engine".

How to Completely Power Off a Car?

To completely power off a car, use a wrench to disconnect the wires at both ends of the battery. Before disconnecting, wear protective goggles and gloves, and locate the positive and negative terminals of the battery, usually marked with a plus (+) and minus (-) sign. Methods to check if the battery has power include: 1. Inspect the battery's charge indicator; 2. Measure the battery's static voltage; 3. Check the battery fault light; 4. Observe if the dashboard flickers or dims when starting the car; 5. Look for signs of battery swelling, deformation, oxidation, or leakage. The functions of the battery are: 1. Powering the engine starting system, ignition system, and car electronics; 2. Supplying power to car electrical devices when the engine is off or at low idle; 3. Assisting in power supply when electrical demand exceeds the generator's capacity; 4. Acting as a voltage stabilizer for the entire electrical system, mitigating voltage spikes and protecting the car's electronic devices.

What Are the Functions of Automotive Fuel Additives?

Automotive fuel additives serve the following purposes: 1. Remove carbon deposits and clean the fuel system; 2. Enhance engine performance; 3. Improve atomization and increase thermal efficiency; 4. Provide anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and lubrication protection for the engine; 5. Reduce noise and wear, extending engine lifespan; 6. Eliminate black smoke and lower emissions. The method for adding fuel additives is as follows: 1. Before adding the fuel additive, check the fuel level in the tank—only add the additive when refueling is needed; 2. Park the car near the fuel pump and open the fuel cap; 3. Open the fuel additive bottle cap and pour it into the fuel tank; 4. Fill the tank with gasoline to help disperse and mix the additive with the fuel.

What are the precautions for car interior cleaning?

Precautions for car interior cleaning are: 1. For cleaning fabric parts, do not use a brush to scrub. Simply spray foam, wait for one minute, and then wipe clean; 2. When cleaning the dashboard, be careful not to spray too much foam at once. Use a soft-bristle brush to clean the sprayed areas; 3. Do not mix interior cleaning products; 4. For leather parts, use leather cleaner and polish or foam cleaner; 5. For plastic parts, spray foam directly, then scrub with a brush and wipe clean with a damp cloth; 6. For dashboard parts with leather or piano lacquer finishes, avoid applying too much force when using a soft-bristle brush to prevent scratching the interior.

Should Car Heating Use Internal or External Air Circulation?

Whether to use internal or external air circulation for car heating depends on different situations: 1. Use internal circulation for short-distance driving; 2. Use external circulation for long-distance driving. Internal and external circulation respectively refer to: 1. Internal circulation means the air conditioning system is closed to outside air and can only circulate the air inside the car cabin; 2. External circulation means the car air conditioning system is open to outside air and draws in outdoor air for circulation. The method to turn on the heating is: 1. Locate the air conditioning control buttons at the display position in the cockpit; 2. Click the off button on the air conditioning control panel to activate the vehicle's air conditioning; 3. Press the air conditioning button to turn off the car's cooling function; 4. Rotate the temperature setting knob to the desired temperature to activate the heating.
