XPeng vehicles allow occupants to remain inside during charging. However, for safety reasons, it is not recommended to stay in the vehicle during high-voltage charging. Reasons to avoid staying inside: During charging, the vehicle is connected to high-voltage interfaces, and its internal state differs from normal operation. Unexpected incidents cannot be ruled out. The high voltage used for charging makes it unsafe for occupants. All vehicles have a minimal but existent risk of electrical leakage. Although the probability is extremely low, as a precautionary measure, it's advisable not to remain inside during charging. For new energy vehicles, it's best not to have occupants inside while charging. Charging precautions: Avoid connector overheating during charging: Prolonged overheating may cause short circuits or poor contact, damaging both the charger and battery. Oxidized materials should be promptly cleaned or connectors replaced.

As a new Xpeng car user, I recently purchased a Xpeng G3 and often rest in the car while charging. The charging process typically takes about half an hour to an hour, and I find it perfectly fine to stay in the car—I can turn on the air conditioning, listen to music, or take a short nap. The vehicle was designed with this scenario in mind, and the internal power supply system operates normally. However, I have noticed that the fan noise can be a bit loud, especially in summer when the battery is cooling. I recommend keeping the windows slightly open to prevent stuffiness due to poor air circulation. In terms of safety, the official manual states that it is safe when the charger is securely connected, but avoid playing with fire or engaging in dangerous activities in the car. While charging, I usually check the charging status to ensure everything is normal, then relax and wait for it to finish. These experiences make me feel that charging time has become a good opportunity to unwind.

I'm a mom with kids and have been driving the Xpeng P5 for almost a year. During charging, my children often wait in the car for me to go home, and we usually chat or play mobile games together. Unlike traditional fuel-powered cars, it's safe to stay in an electric vehicle while charging—there's no risk of sparks or toxic fumes. I always pay extra attention to ventilation by leaving the windows slightly open to ensure fresh air. When my kids ask questions, I explain the basics of how the charger works and remind them not to touch the charging port. Xpeng's battery management system automatically monitors the process, and while the fan noise can be a bit loud, it's completely normal. During charging, I prefer to keep the air conditioning on recirculation mode to avoid dust. Overall, it's very safe, but if the charging takes too long, I take the kids out for a short break. This setup makes family trips convenient and helps ease the anxiety of waiting.

I have a bit of an enthusiast tendency when it comes to automotive technology, and after driving the Xpeng, I researched its charging mechanism. You can sit in the car while charging, thanks to its advanced thermal management system, which ensures battery heat dissipation doesn't compromise passenger safety. The vehicle's internal circuits are independently designed, and fan operation is normal, but the noise is minimal. I've tested it several times—using the air conditioning or entertainment system during charging hasn't caused any issues. Ventilation is key; I recommend charging outdoors to avoid prolonged stays in enclosed garages. On a related note, Xpeng's fast-charging stations offer a great experience, saving time. In terms of battery management, it automatically adjusts the current to ensure everything remains stable. I think this is one of the conveniences of modern electric vehicles.

As a veteran driver with over 30 years of experience who recently switched to an XPeng G9, I can confirm it's perfectly safe to stay in the vehicle while charging. Compared to refueling traditional cars where you must exit, EVs offer much greater safety. During charging sessions, I typically adjust my driver's seat to relax, listen to the radio, or plan routes. Occasionally, the cooling fans may operate louder, but this is normal thermal management behavior. I recommend checking that the charging connector is securely plugged in and avoiding sudden movements inside the vehicle. For ventilation, I prefer slightly opening the windows. The battery monitoring system operates automatically during charging, making risks negligible. Time management-wise, I'll review maps or enjoy a coffee - far more comfortable than standing around waiting.

Is Annual Bi-annual Inspection Troublesome?

Commercial passenger vehicles over 5 years old, cargo vehicles and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles over 10 years old, and small/mini non-commercial passenger vehicles over 15 years old all require bi-annual inspections. Having two inspections per year is obviously quite troublesome. Moreover, older vehicles generally have poorer conditions and are difficult to sell second-hand. If you find it too troublesome, you can apply for scrapping. Below is additional information: Relevant regulations: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial small/mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) within 6 years and with 7-9 seats are included in the exemption from inspection. At the same time, for non-commercial small/mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once per year to once every two years. This means private cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years.

What is the reason for the electric fan not working when the air conditioner is turned on in an old Polo?

There are several reasons why the fan does not rotate when the air conditioner is turned on in an old Polo, including poor motor lubrication, reduced starting capacitor capacity, and prolonged motor usage. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Poor motor lubrication: The fan does not rotate because the motor lacks sufficient lubrication, preventing it from driving the fan blades after installation. 2. Reduced starting capacitor capacity: The capacitor capacity decreases, leading to a reduction in the motor's starting torque, making it unable to drive the load. 3. Prolonged motor usage: After prolonged use of the fan, the motor wears out. When the motor's shaft sleeve wears, it is prone to burning out. Extended use of the motor also increases its internal resistance, reducing its load-bearing capacity and preventing it from driving the fan blades.

Does Playing Music in the Car Consume Fuel?

Playing music while driving does not consume fuel because the electricity used for the music is not drawn from the battery but from the rectified DC output of the alternator. As long as the car engine is running, the alternator is also working, so the minimal power consumption does not increase fuel usage. Fuel consumption may occur if the music volume is too loud, potentially affecting driving judgment and leading to unnecessary fuel consumption. All electrical devices in the car consume fuel, including the battery, as its power is generated and charged using fuel. A higher electrical load naturally requires the engine to inject more fuel. However, unless the car is modified, these electrical loads remain within normal operating limits. When starting the engine, the battery supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system. When the engine is off or idling, it powers the car's electrical devices. If the alternator's output is insufficient, the battery can assist in supplying power. Additionally, it helps stabilize voltage spikes in the electrical system, protecting the car's electronic components, and stores excess electricity generated by the alternator.

What Should You Pay Attention to When a Car Is Not Driven for a Long Time?

When a car is not driven for a long time, attention should be paid to appropriately increasing tire pressure and periodically charging the vehicle's battery. Appropriately increasing tire pressure: Car tires are made of rubber and can deform. When a vehicle is left unused for an extended period, the contact area between the tires and the ground remains fixed, leading to increased risk of cracking and deformation on the stressed tire surface. Therefore, to ensure tire health, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure before parking the car to reduce the contact area between the tire and the ground. If possible, the owner should periodically start the car, turn the steering wheel, and change the tire position to redistribute the stress on the tire surface. Periodically charging the vehicle's battery: The car battery is a crucial component. If the battery runs out of charge, the vehicle may fail to start, affecting the owner's normal use. Even when the car is not in use, the battery continues to discharge. Therefore, it is recommended to start the car every one to two weeks, either idling in place or driving for a short distance.

How to Solve the Problem of Foul Odor When Turning on the Car's Air Conditioning?

To address the foul odor when turning on the car's air conditioning, start the car, turn on the air conditioning, switch to the external circulation mode, spray a dedicated air conditioning cleaner towards the blower, close the windows and doors, switch from external to internal circulation, and let the air conditioning run for a few minutes. The foul odor when turning on the car's air conditioning may be caused by dirty air conditioning ventilation ducts or a dirty air filter. Prolonged use of the air conditioning evaporator can also lead to foul odors due to dampness and mold. It is recommended that drivers turn off the air conditioning five minutes before reaching their destination and switch to natural air. This allows the temperature inside the air conditioning ducts to rise before parking, restoring it to normal temperature. This prevents condensation due to temperature differences after parking, keeping the air conditioning ducts dry and preventing the growth of mold and fungi. Regularly replace the air filter. A dirty filter not only fails to perform its original function but also causes secondary pollution to the air entering the car. To completely eliminate odors inside the car, it is essential to address the source. Under normal conditions, an original air filter has a lifespan of one year or 30,000 kilometers. If the car is frequently driven in areas with poor air quality, the replacement cycle of the filter should be shortened accordingly.
