Minor damage to the sidewall of a tire can be repaired, but severe damage requires a replacement at a professional shop. Tire Rotation: Rotate the tires every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute tire fatigue and prevent uneven wear, thereby extending the tire's lifespan. Wheel Alignment: Check every 30,000 kilometers. Changes in wheel alignment parameters can cause abnormal tire wear. Tire Pressure Check: Check tire pressure monthly. If tire pressure drops too quickly, visit a local tire shop for inspection to avoid further damage. Tire Dynamic Balance Check: Prevent steering wheel wobble at high speeds. If the steering wheel wobbles above 70 km/h, perform a tire dynamic balance check promptly. Tire Tread Depth Check: When the tire wears down to the wear indicator, it must be replaced. Driving with tires beyond the wear indicator in wet conditions is highly dangerous due to significantly reduced drainage, which severely affects wet grip. Rubber Products: Over time, rubber products can age or crack. If aging or cracking is detected during inspection, replace them promptly.

Can Electric Vehicles Be Charged Outdoors in the Rain?

Electric vehicles can be charged outdoors in the rain. This is because the charging ports of pure electric vehicles are designed with excellent waterproofing, making outdoor charging in rainy conditions feasible. However, even though charging is possible, appropriate protective measures should still be taken to prevent the risk of electric leakage. Below is an introduction to electric vehicle charging: 1. Charging Methods: There are two types of charging for electric vehicles—one is a home low-voltage charging station, and the other is a home or public high-voltage charging station. Both types of charging stations have certain rainproof and waterproof measures. 2. Charging Precautions: When performing charging operations in heavy rain, it is advisable to first use an umbrella to cover the exposed charging port. Only after inserting the plug into the charging port will there be a certain level of waterproofing effect.

What are the reasons for decreased car power?

The reasons for decreased car power are: 1. Clogged fuel tank vent hole; 2. Partial blockage of fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or fuel line between tank and carburetor; 3. Incorrect ignition timing causing premature combustion and detonation of fuel-air mixture; 4. Malfunction in ignition system; 5. Severe cylinder wear increasing clearance between piston, piston rings and cylinder, reducing sealing and causing cylinder head leakage, which lowers compression pressure; 6. Excessive carbon buildup in engine and poor heat dissipation; 7. Too much or too little lubricating oil in crankcase, deteriorated or contaminated oil, or clogged oil passages affecting engine power.
