For electric vehicles, the air conditioning can be turned on without starting the car. However, conventional fuel-powered vehicles cannot do this because their air conditioning systems rely on the engine to operate. If the car is only powered on but not started, the air conditioning cannot be used. The functions of car air conditioning include the following: 1. Temperature Adjustment: This is the primary function of car air conditioning. In summer, the cooling system produces cold air to lower the temperature inside the cabin. In winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters, most vehicles utilize residual heat from the engine for heating. 2. Humidity Adjustment: Humidity greatly affects the comfort of passengers inside the car. The humidity inside the cabin should generally be maintained between 30% and 70%. Standard car air conditioning systems do not have the capability to adjust humidity; this can only be achieved through ventilation systems or advanced luxury vehicles equipped with integrated heating and cooling air conditioning units. 3. Airflow Adjustment: The speed and direction of airflow significantly impact comfort. If the air is blowing directly, the speed should be limited to a certain range when the temperature is appropriate. The airflow speed can be adjusted based on passengers' living environment, age, health condition, and personal preferences regarding temperature.

Can Tesla charge with 220V?

Tesla can charge with 220V. Tesla can use 220V 10A/16A household sockets for charging. Most ordinary Chinese households use 220V 40A electric meters, with sockets typically being 10A or 16A. By using the charging cable provided with TESLA and connecting it with the corresponding plug, then selecting the charging current through the central control, charging can be initiated. 220V 10A charging provides 2.2kwh per hour, allowing for 7-10 kilometers of driving. It takes about 40 hours to charge from empty to full. 220V 16A charging provides 3.52kwh per hour, allowing for 10-18 kilometers of driving. It takes about 25 hours to charge from empty to full. Tesla charging precautions: Most Tesla drivers will install a single-phase wall-mounted charger in their garage or parking space, using 220V AC power. This charging method takes relatively longer, providing about 6-7 kWh per hour, which translates to approximately 40 kilometers. Using slow charging, it takes about 10 hours to fully charge. If the household uses a regional public transformer, when the transformer load reaches its peak, the voltage may drop slightly, which can also affect the charging speed of the electric vehicle.

Is 93 gasoline the current 92 gasoline?

92 gasoline is the previous 93 gasoline, they are the same type of gasoline. 92 is the National V standard, equivalent to the original 93 National IV standard. Currently in China's market, gasoline comes in grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97. These numbers actually represent the octane rating of the gasoline, indicating its anti-knock performance, and are unrelated to the cleanliness of the gasoline. Since the nationwide unified supply of National V standard was implemented, 93 gasoline corresponds to 92, and 97 corresponds to 95, rather than the current 98. The higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock performance. Because emission standards have become more stringent, in the long run, the upgraded octane numbers can not only reduce pollutant emissions but also extend the vehicle's service life and reduce maintenance costs. Furthermore, it decreases corrosion to the car engine and deposits in the intake system, protecting the engine and emission system, providing better protection for the vehicle. The recommended gasoline grade for a car can be found on the fuel tank cap. When using the vehicle, it is essential to strictly adhere to the specified gasoline grade. Otherwise, it may affect engine performance, leading to insufficient power, increased noise, and heightened vibrations, which in turn can increase fuel consumption. Therefore, it is crucial to use the specified gasoline grade when refueling.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Leiling in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Leiling is 53 liters. The vehicle is equipped with two engine options: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine, and it features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. Starting from the 2017 model year, the fuel tank capacity of the Leiling has been reduced. The 2018 model has capacities of 50 liters and 45 liters; the 2019 model has a 50-liter capacity; the 2021 model has a 50-liter capacity; and the 2022 model has capacities of 50 liters and 43 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the rated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the rated capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, and when it is near 'F', it means the fuel level is sufficient.

What is the difference between HB3 and 9005?

HB3 and 9005 are the same model specifications, and sometimes both HB3 and 9005 are labeled together, which is the method of labeling for U.S. standard car lights. Car headlights include high beams, low beams, fog lights, and turn signals, and there are many types of car bulbs, mainly divided into H and D categories, which can be distinguished by the number of lamp pins and tabs. Common models include H1, H3, H4, H7, H11, etc., and different types of bulbs are used for different positions. Other commonly used bulbs for headlights include turn signal bulbs, such as PY21W; position lights are mostly W5W, H9, H10, H11, H12, etc.; rear lights commonly use bulbs such as P21W, P21/5W, etc. D represents xenon lamps, and commonly used xenon lamp models include D1S, D2S, D3S, D1R, D2R, etc. Odd numbers indicate with an igniter, and even numbers without an igniter; 2 indicates the presence of mercury, while 3 and 4 are mercury-free; S is used for lenses, and R is used for reflectors. Methods to distinguish car bulb models: determine whether the headlight is a combined high and low beam, if so, it means the headlight model is H4; if the headlight has separate high and low beams, you can check the manual that came with the car to find the specific model of your headlight. You can also open the hood, remove the headlight protective cover, take out the bulb, and identify the headlight model by the lamp pins and base. If the headlight has 1 lamp pin and a flat rectangular metal base, it is H1; if the headlight has 3 lamp pins, a round metal base, and 3 protruding tabs on the outer edge, it is H4; if the headlight has 2 lamp pins, a round metal base, and 1 protruding tab on the outer edge, it is H7; if the headlight has 2 lamp pins, an elliptical socket with 1 longer protruding tab on the lower edge, it is H11; if the headlight has 2 lamp pins, an elliptical socket with 1 smaller protruding tab on the upper edge, it is HB3 (also known as 9005); if the headlight has 2 lamp pins, an elliptical socket with 2 smaller protruding tabs on the upper edge, it is HB4 (also known as 9006).
