Can new energy vehicles keep the air conditioning on while parked?
2 Answers
New energy vehicles can keep the air conditioning on while parked. Here are some precautions for using new energy vehicles: Avoid storing the vehicle with a low battery: The battery must not be stored in a depleted state. If the battery is used up, it should be recharged promptly. Master the correct charging time: During use, the charging time should be accurately determined based on actual conditions, considering factors like frequency of use and driving distance to determine the charging frequency. Regularly check tire pressure: Maintain the correct tire pressure and check it every two weeks or at least once a month. Incorrect tire pressure can lead to increased power consumption, reduced driving range, decreased driving comfort, shortened tire lifespan, and compromised driving safety. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight: High temperatures can increase internal battery pressure, causing water loss, reduced battery activity, and accelerated aging of the plates. Therefore, electric vehicles must not be exposed to direct sunlight and should be parked in shaded areas.
From my years of experience driving new energy vehicles, it's completely feasible to keep the air conditioning on while parked, as the battery-powered AC is quieter, emits no exhaust, and is more comfortable than in fuel-powered cars. However, be mindful of battery consumption—running the AC at high settings may drain 5-10% of the battery per hour. For example, napping in the car with the AC on for two hours in summer is fine, but leaving it on overnight without driving could completely deplete the battery. It's best to regularly monitor the battery level via the app, enable energy-saving mode to avoid overload, and crack the windows slightly for ventilation and safety. Regular charging and maintenance can slow battery degradation, and even when using the AC for extended periods, avoid exceeding 4 hours continuously to ensure you can start the car and drive home.
