Can the Accord Hybrid Version Get a Green License Plate?

The hybrid version of the Accord cannot be registered with a green license plate because it is not classified as a new energy vehicle. The hybrid Accord is a conventional hybrid electric vehicle and requires a blue license plate. New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, which are different from conventional hybrid vehicles. Plug-in hybrid vehicles can use external power sources to charge their battery packs, whereas conventional hybrid vehicles cannot. The hybrid Accord is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, which delivers 146 horsepower and a maximum torque of 175 Nm. This engine reaches its peak power output at 6,200 rpm and its maximum torque at 3,500 rpm. The engine features i-VTEC technology and multi-point fuel injection, and it utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block to reduce weight, thereby improving the car's handling and fuel efficiency. The electric motor paired with this engine has a maximum power output of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 315 Nm. The Accord features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, which enhance both handling and ride comfort.

In China, the new energy vehicle license plate policy clearly stipulates that green license plates are mainly issued to pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The Accord Hybrid is a traditional hybrid that does not rely on external charging, has a small battery, and operates by directly charging through the internal combustion engine, so it does not belong to the new energy vehicle category and cannot obtain a green license plate at all. I know that national policy requires plug-in hybrids to have a pure electric range of over 50 kilometers to qualify for a green license plate, but the Accord Hybrid has no charging port and can only run on pure electric power for a maximum of three to five kilometers, making it merely an energy-saving vehicle. This means it cannot enjoy the benefits brought by green license plates, such as exemption from traffic restrictions in cities with driving limitations, exemption from purchase tax, or vehicle purchase subsidies, which makes many car owners feel shortchanged. If you really want a green license plate, I recommend choosing Honda's own plug-in hybrid models or BYD's Qin PLUS, which would be more cost-effective. The policy is quite strict in categorizing vehicle types, so be sure to check the new energy vehicle catalog on the official website before purchasing a car to avoid unnecessary hassle.

What Are the Consequences of a Car Being Submerged in Water?

Here are the consequences of a car being submerged in water: 1. Component Damage: After being submerged, sand and debris can get stuck in gears or belts, leading to easier damage of certain components and initial abnormal noises. 2. Seat and Electrical Damage: Seats may develop mold and emit odors after being soaked, and electrical issues cannot be fully repaired. Repaired circuits may exhibit problems within as little as 3 months or as long as 1 year or more, such as false fault light activations, headlights turning on without reason, and other electrical-related issues, leading to short circuits. 3. Reduced Lifespan: The damage from water immersion is significant. If a vehicle is submerged, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortening its lifespan and reducing safety performance.

Will driving over a beer bottle damage the car?

Sometimes, broken glass can puncture car tires, as tire blowouts are related to various factors. When a vehicle is driven 20,000 kilometers per year, tire replacement should be considered after 2-3 years. Even brand-new tires should be considered for replacement if they have been stored unused for 3 years. Therefore, spare tires in the car trunk also require regular maintenance, and unused spare tires stored for too long should be replaced. Here are some reasons for tire blowouts: 1. Failure to conduct a safety inspection before driving, with existing damage to the tire sidewall or tread, leading to a blowout during high-speed driving; 2. Severe wear of the tire tread pattern without timely replacement; 3. External force scraping against the tire during driving causing a blowout.

What is the load capacity limit for pickup trucks?

Generally, the load capacity of a pickup truck is around 0.5 tons, while slightly larger ones can carry about 0.75 tons. Additional details are as follows: 1. Introduction: Some pickup trucks designed with high-strength frame structures and widened, thickened features can exceed 1.5 times the standard load capacity, with an actual capacity reaching up to 1.15 tons. 2. Supplementary Information: As of January 2014, the largest domestically produced pickup truck in China was the Kawei K1. Its cargo compartment dimensions are larger than those of the Great Wall pickup, measuring 1805mm/1590mm/530mm, with a cargo box length of 1805mm, providing 600L more volume than traditional models.

Why does the tire pressure light come on when the tires are fine?

Tire pressure warning light coming on when the tires appear fine indicates that the pressure in the four tires is outside the normal range. This is usually caused by slow air leakage due to a puncture or overinflated tires. It is recommended to check all four tires to see which one is low on air. If it's not obvious, drive to a repair shop to have the tire pressure checked. If a tire is found to have low pressure, it means there is a leak, and it should be repaired. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and veering, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks or blowouts.

How Many Attempts Are Allowed for Subject 2 Driving Test?

For the Subject 2 driving test, you are allowed one initial attempt. If you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of rescheduled attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests cannot exceed five. If you fail the fifth rescheduled test, any previously passed subjects will be invalidated. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is considered passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants of large buses, trailers, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test items include: pole test, hill start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, narrow gate, continuous obstacles, bumpy road, narrow road U-turn, and simulations for highways, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. For small vehicles (C1, C2), the test items include: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, hill start (canceled for C2), right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turn)—five mandatory items (some regions include a sixth item: highway toll card collection).

Are Flood-Damaged Cars Directly Scrapped?

Flood-damaged cars are not necessarily directly scrapped. The relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Classification: If the water level exceeds the car's chassis, it is called a water-immersed car; if the water level exceeds the oil dipstick, it can be referred to as a semi-flooded car; if the water level has exceeded the engine hood or the instrument panel, then it is called a fully flooded car. From a technical perspective, all three types of water-damaged cars can be repaired to some extent. 2. Precautions: Even after repair, flood-damaged cars still have serious hidden dangers. The longer the soaking time, the higher the probability of malfunctions, and they cannot be completely repaired. If the flooding is severe, it is also a good choice for the owner to opt for scrapping.
