As a ride-hailing driver with several years of experience, I must say the Qin Plus DM-i is an excellent choice. I've been using this car on Didi for almost a year now, and it suits the job perfectly. First off, fuel efficiency is its biggest advantage—it can cover over 50 kilometers in pure electric mode, meaning I hardly spend any money on fuel for morning rides, and a quick charge at noon keeps me going. In hybrid mode, a full tank combined with electric power can last over 1,000 kilometers, which is a huge money saver for someone like me who takes more than 15 rides a day. Passengers also give it high marks for being quiet and comfortable, with minimal noise, making long-distance rides less tiring. However, it's important to note that regulations vary by city—for example, Shenzhen has requirements for wheelbase and emissions, which the Qin Plus DM-i generally meets, but it's crucial to check local platform policies and insurance requirements. Overall, it's one of the most cost-effective ride-hailing cars I've ever used.

Just one month after getting my Qin Plus DM-i, I couldn't wait to try ride-hailing, and the results exceeded expectations! As a new owner, I love its energy-saving features—the DM-i system helps me achieve zero emissions in city traffic with pure electric mode, and the fuel consumption is ultra-low. Running over ten trips daily saves me nearly 30% on fuel costs. Its strong range is a highlight; with a full tank and full charge, I can complete dozens of trips without frequent charging. The smooth, jerk-free driving experience has earned praise from passengers. In terms of earnings, combining platform subsidies and saved expenses, my monthly income has increased significantly. But a reminder for newcomers: Before registering, ensure your vehicle model is certified by local ride-hailing platforms—the Qin Plus DM-i is approved in most places, like Beijing and Guangzhou. Overall, this car makes earning money through driving enjoyable, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enter the industry.

I've reviewed a lot of data on the Qin Plus DM-i. As someone familiar with the regulations, it's completely viable for ride-hailing. The key lies in local policies—the vehicle must have a ride-hailing operation certificate. For example, Shanghai requires a wheelbase of around 2650mm and compliance with the China VI emission standards, which the Qin Plus DM-i basically meets, with added points for energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. In practice, registering on platforms like T3 or Shouqi Car Service isn't difficult; you just need to provide the vehicle license and insurance proof. Economically, its high fuel efficiency, with an average hybrid fuel consumption of 4L/100km, reduces long-term costs. However, it's important to check the convenience of daily charging facilities, as long idle times could affect order acceptance. Overall, this model's design and certifications support ride-hailing—just do your homework.

Will points be deducted for not wearing a helmet on the back seat of a motorcycle?

Not wearing a helmet on the back seat of a motorcycle will not result in point deductions, but it may incur varying amounts of fines. Below is relevant information about motorcycle riding: Safety helmets: When riding a motorcycle, it is mandatory to wear a helmet. If caught by traffic police without one, you will be fined, and safety cannot be guaranteed. Since most motorcycle riders are young people who tend to ride at high speeds, wearing a helmet can reduce the severity of injuries in accidents. Slow-speed riding: When riding a motorcycle, it is crucial not to exceed the speed limit. Many motorcycle accidents occur due to speeding, so for safety reasons, always ride slowly and avoid speeding.

Is It Meaningful to Upgrade from 16-inch to 17-inch Wheels?

Upgrading from 16-inch to 17-inch wheels doesn't hold much significance, as the difference in wheel size is minimal and has little impact on the car's performance. Below is relevant information about car wheels: Concept: The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel steel inside the tire connected by columns, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the center of the tire. It is also called the rim, steel ring, or wheel disc. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Size: Wheel size essentially refers to the diameter of the wheel. Common terms like 15-inch or 16-inch wheels refer to the wheel's size (diameter). Generally, in passenger cars, larger wheel sizes with higher tire aspect ratios can create a visually appealing tension effect and improve the vehicle's handling stability. However, this comes with the additional issue of increased fuel consumption.

What does car range mean?

Car range refers to the maximum distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel in the tank at an economical speed, mainly calculated automatically by the car's computer based on the current fuel consumption. Below is a related introduction to car mileage: Introduction: The car odometer indicates the speed of the car, with the unit being km/h (kilometers per hour). It consists of two meters: one is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. It is generally located directly in front of the driver's position. Identification methods can include determining by the degree of wear and tear or checking the vehicle's maintenance records at a 4S shop. Principle: Traditional speedometers are mechanical. A typical mechanical odometer is connected to a flexible shaft, which contains a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft is connected to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable to rotate, which in turn drives a magnet inside the odometer's cover ring to rotate. The cover ring is connected to the pointer and keeps the pointer at zero position via a hairspring. The speed of the magnet's rotation causes changes in the size of the magnetic field lines, disrupting the balance and thus moving the pointer.

What Causes Small Cracks on the Edge of Tires?

The reason for small cracks on the edge of tires is natural aging of the tire. If there are numerous small cracks and their depth is close to damaging the tire body, the tire should be replaced promptly. Tires are rubber products and will naturally age due to environmental factors and usage. Their normal service life is approximately 4-5 years. As the tire body continuously undergoes bending and deformation, small cracks will naturally form. Over time, the safety factor will decrease, and failure to replace the tire in time may lead to accidents such as blowouts. Generally, it is recommended to rotate the tires every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute tire fatigue, prevent uneven wear, and extend tire life. Avoid rapid acceleration, emergency braking, or sharp turns; avoid hitting curbs; avoid parking on curbs; avoid driving quickly on unpaved roads. It is advisable to check the four-wheel alignment every 20,000 kilometers to reduce abnormal tire wear caused by changes in four-wheel alignment parameters. After overloading the vehicle or driving on rough roads, have it inspected at an authorized service center to avoid abnormal tire wear due to changes in four-wheel alignment parameters. Regularly check tire pressure, as both overinflation and underinflation can lead to abnormal tire wear, shorten the tire's normal lifespan, increase fuel consumption, and raise the risk of blowouts at high speeds.

Do Driving School Coaches Have a Holiday on Mid-Autumn Festival?

Whether driving school coaches have a holiday on Mid-Autumn Festival depends on whether the coach is willing to work during the festival. Some coaches may sacrifice holidays like Mid-Autumn Festival to earn money. Below is relevant information about the automobile driver's license examination: Content: After completing the Subject 1 test, candidates must pass the Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests within three years. If they fail to do so, the test results become invalid, and they must re-register for the Subject 1 test. Under the new regulations, candidates have five attempts each for Subject 2 and Subject 3. If they fail to pass within these five attempts, they must retake the Subject 1 test. Sequence: The order of the test subjects is as follows: traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as Subject 1 [theory]), field driving (referred to as Subject 2 [nine items]), and road driving (referred to as Subject 3 [road test and safe civilized driving]).
