Electric vehicles can get wet in the rain. Here is the relevant introduction about electric vehicles: 1. Definition: An electric vehicle (BEV) refers to a vehicle that uses on-board power as its energy source, drives wheels with an electric motor, and meets all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Due to its relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, its prospects are widely optimistic. 2. Main types: Types of electric vehicles include Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). 3. Electric drive: An electric vehicle is a vehicle that uses on-board power as its energy source, drives wheels with an electric motor, and meets all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. It uses electricity stored in batteries to operate. Sometimes 12 or 24 batteries are used to power the vehicle, while other times more may be required.

What is the purpose of cruise control?

Cruise control automatically maintains the vehicle's speed at the driver's desired setting after activation, eliminating the need to press the accelerator pedal. This allows the vehicle to travel at a constant speed, reducing driver fatigue by removing the need to control the accelerator pedal, while also minimizing unnecessary speed variations and saving fuel. Principle of cruise control: The cruise control system primarily works by the cruise control module reading pulse signals from the vehicle speed sensor and comparing them with the preset speed. Through precise electronic calculations, it issues commands to ensure the most accurate fuel supply for the vehicle at the set speed. Precautions for cruise control: Do not use the speed control system on roads with heavy traffic or poor road conditions (such as slippery surfaces, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain). Once the system is activated and the speed exceeds 40 km/h, never shift the gear lever into neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and result in damage. If the set cruising speed is too high compared to the current traffic conditions, do not resume the set speed.

What are the two parts of a spoiler?

A spoiler includes the horizontal stabilizer and the vertical stabilizer, with a few models adopting a V-shaped spoiler. The function of a car spoiler: Professionally referred to as a rear wing, it is part of the car's aerodynamic kit. The main purpose of a car spoiler is to reduce the lift at the rear of the vehicle. If the lift at the rear is greater than that at the front, it can easily lead to excessive steering, reduced rear-wheel grip, and poor high-speed stability. Types of spoilers: Fiberglass spoilers: These spoilers come in various shapes, such as ducktail, wing-shaped, or straight-plate styles. They are relatively easy to shape, but fiberglass material is brittle, with poor toughness and rigidity, and is relatively inexpensive. Aluminum alloy spoilers: These spoilers offer good airflow guidance and heat dissipation effects, with a moderate price. However, they are slightly heavier than spoilers made of other materials. Carbon fiber spoilers: Carbon fiber spoilers have excellent rigidity and durability. They are not only lightweight but also the most aesthetically pleasing type of spoiler.

What is the reason for manual transmission high RPM fuel cut-off?

Manual transmission high RPM fuel cut-off is implemented to ensure the safe operation of the engine and to control fuel consumption and emissions. Hazards of excessively high RPM: At excessively high RPM, engine oil lubrication may become inadequate, increasing friction among rotating components and accelerating engine wear. Additionally, internal transmission components may malfunction, fail to operate normally, or even sustain damage, such as the timing belt or chain. Reasons for high RPM fuel cut-off: For gasoline-powered vehicles, when the RPM reaches the redline zone around 7000 and does not decrease even if the throttle is not released, the engine can no longer increase speed. However, the maximum speed is not limited by mechanical failure but rather by a preset limit in the engine control unit (ECU) to implement fuel cut-off. This prevents the driver from pushing the vehicle into the "danger zone," thereby protecting the engine.

Will the Fan Run if the Water Temperature Sensor is Broken?

It depends on the vehicle model. Some models have electronically controlled fans that are managed by the computer. If the water temperature sensor is damaged, the ECU cannot determine the temperature, causing the fan to either stop running or run continuously. However, some models have fans that are not controlled by the computer, so even if the water temperature sensor is damaged, the fan remains unaffected. Below is some relevant information about the water temperature sensor: 1. The water temperature sensor is a device that converts the temperature of the coolant into an electrical signal, which then adjusts the corresponding control unit. Inside the car's water temperature sensor, the resistance increases as the temperature decreases and decreases as the temperature rises. The water temperature sensor is installed in the engine block or cylinder head's water jacket, in direct contact with the coolant, to measure the engine's coolant temperature. 2. The primary function of the water temperature sensor is to drive changes in the temperature gauge by altering the current flow through resistance changes, indirectly indicating the engine's operating temperature.

What is the difference between 1.0t and 1.5t?

1.0t and 1.5t differ in the following ways: 1. 1.0t: The 1.0t is a turbocharged engine. Turbocharging is a technology that uses exhaust gases generated by internal combustion engines to drive air compressors. The main function of turbocharging is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque. The 1.0t has a maximum power of 92KW, a maximum horsepower of 125PS, a maximum torque of 173N·m, and a combined fuel consumption of 5-5.5L/100km as per the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. 2. 1.5t: The 1.5t has a larger displacement, stronger power, and is slightly more expensive. Its maximum power is 130KW, maximum horsepower is 177PS, maximum torque is 226N·m, and combined fuel consumption is 5.4-6L/100km as per the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. When a turbocharger is installed on an engine, its maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when no turbocharger is installed.

Does Running the Air Conditioner for One Hour While the Car is Idling Damage the Vehicle?

Running the air conditioner for one hour while the car is idling can damage the vehicle. Vehicle idling in place: When the vehicle is idling in place, the gasoline in the engine does not burn completely. If this is done frequently over a long period, it will increase carbon deposits in the engine. Additionally, fuel consumption will also rise relatively. Resting in the car with the air conditioner on can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Precautions for using the air conditioner in the vehicle: If the driver must rest in the car, they should first park the vehicle in an open and well-ventilated area and switch the air conditioner's airflow mode from internal circulation to external circulation. This ensures proper air circulation inside the car. Idling with the air conditioner on is a bad habit, as it not only accelerates the aging of the cooling fan but also increases fuel consumption and engine carbon deposits.
