Electric vehicles can be charged at home. Below is relevant information about charging electric vehicles at home: Voltage for Home Charging: Home charging is also referred to as slow charging. Generally, a 220V voltage can be used directly for charging. Although the charging speed is relatively slow, it causes less damage to the battery system, making it suitable for overnight charging. However, it is important to pay attention to electrical safety when charging an electric vehicle at home. Precautions for Home Charging: Charging an electric vehicle at home is relatively slow, and many owners may take this opportunity to open the hood and clean the dust inside the engine compartment. This is extremely dangerous as the engine compartment usually contains high-voltage electricity. Although there is leakage protection, if any issues arise, the consequences could be unimaginable. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure safety for oneself and others when charging the vehicle.

How many liters of oil should be added to a BMW 520?

A BMW 520 requires 5L of oil, and semi-synthetic or higher-grade oil with a viscosity of 5W-40 is most suitable. After filling the oil, it is necessary to measure whether the oil level is normal, neither too high nor too low. If the oil level is too high, it may overflow, causing excessive lubrication of the belt. Below are the methods to check the oil level in a BMW 5 Series: 1. Checking the oil dipstick: To check the lubricant level, the car must be parked on a flat surface, and the engine should be stopped for at least 10 minutes before checking. Then, pull out the oil dipstick. To ensure accurate measurement, first wipe the lubricant off the dipstick with a cloth, then reinsert the dipstick into the oil pan. Slowly pull out the dipstick again and check the oil mark on it. If the oil mark is between the FULL (maximum) and LOW (minimum) marks, it indicates that the oil level is within the normal range. 2. Checking without an oil dipstick: For vehicles without an iDrive system, you can check via the left turn signal switch. Start the engine and let it run for at least 10 minutes. Then, toggle the up and down switch on the turn signal lever until the OIL indicator appears. Press the BC button on the turn signal lever to view the oil level indicator. MAX indicates full, and if the level is low, it will prompt -1L, meaning you need to add one liter of oil. For vehicles without an iDrive system and unable to check via the left turn signal switch, start the engine and lightly press the time button on the dashboard. This will initiate an automatic oil level check. If the oil level is low, it will prompt +1.0L, and if the oil level is appropriate, it will display the oil status.

What is the engine model of the Great Wall Cannon?

The engine model of the Great Wall Cannon is GW4020W, with a maximum power of 140kW, maximum horsepower of 190, and maximum torque of 360Nm. The Great Wall Cannon engine is a self-developed brand by China's Great Wall Motors, belonging to a domestically produced engine. For daily maintenance of the Great Wall Cannon engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When engine oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How to Check Car Maintenance Records?

Here are two methods to check car maintenance records: 1. Directly visit a 4S store for inquiry: The vehicle archive systems of same-brand 4S stores are now nationwide networked. Simply bring the car owner's identity documents, purchase invoices and other credentials to a 4S store, and they will retrieve the vehicle's maintenance records. 2. Use paid third-party query tools: Many apps now provide 4S store maintenance record queries, likely using the same data system as 4S stores. Upload the vehicle license as required, confirm automatically recognized information like engine number and VIN, then click confirm to proceed with the query.

What does tripa mean on a car dashboard?

tripa represents the trip mileage of the vehicle. The trip mileage on the dashboard can be reset at any time. tripa is used to record the mileage traveled by the vehicle during a certain period. The trip mileage can accumulate up to 1,000 kilometers, after which it will be reset and start counting again. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. The trip mileage can calculate the distance between one location and another, and it can also record the distance the vehicle can travel after being refueled. 2. Almost all vehicle models on the market have the trip mileage function, which is very convenient to use. Moreover, the trip mileage can be reset at any time, making it easy to use.
