Here is an introduction to the differences between BenBen EV and BenBen E-Star: Different Nature: The new BenBen uses gasoline, while the EV is a pure electric vehicle. The car models look the same. The only difference is that one is an electric car and the other is a fuel-powered car. Range: The Changan BenBen EV boasts an impressive range of 210 kilometers, setting an industry-leading standard and becoming the micro electric vehicle with the longest range. For electric vehicles, battery quality can be considered the "heart" of the vehicle's overall quality. The BenBen EV has a maximum power of 55kW, a maximum torque of 170N·m, a top speed of 125km/h, and a 0-50km/h acceleration time of 5.1 seconds, delivering strong performance.

I've been researching the Changan Benben series recently. Both the Benben EV and Benben E-Star are pure electric compact cars, but there are significant differences between them. The EV is an earlier version with a more conservative design, resembling an economical commuter vehicle. It typically offers a range of 200-300 kilometers, making it suitable for budget-conscious daily commuting, though it feels somewhat dated to drive and has slower charging speeds. The E-Star, on the other hand, is much more youthful, featuring a sportier and more fashionable exterior. It boasts a range of over 400 kilometers, utilizing new battery technology for faster charging. Additionally, it comes with a smart touchscreen and advanced driving assistance features like automatic parking, making the driving experience more enjoyable. However, it does come at a higher price. I believe if you're a young person who values technological innovation and fresh design, the E-Star is worth the extra investment, especially since it provides more peace of mind for long-distance travel.

The BenBen EV and BenBen E-Star are both small electric vehicles produced by Changan. As someone who drives frequently, I prioritize cost-effectiveness and practicality. The EV has a relatively shorter range of about 250 kilometers, is simple and reliable to drive, and is suitable for short urban trips. However, its charging time is longer, possibly taking 30 minutes to replenish just half the battery. The E-Star has an upgraded battery system, offering a range of around 420 kilometers, with much higher charging efficiency—it can charge significantly in just 20 minutes. It also performs more stably in winter, but it costs at least 10,000 yuan more. In terms of appearance, the E-Star has smoother lines and lower wind resistance, with a slightly larger interior space and a more practical trunk, making it easier to carry items. Personally, I think if the budget allows, the E-Star is more worry-free, reducing charging anxiety, especially for trips around the city without worrying about running out of power.

After years of driving electric vehicles, I understand the differences between the BenBen EV and E-Star. The EV has a shorter range, about 280 kilometers, with basic interiors lacking a large screen, mainly for commuting. The E-Star has significant improvements: over 400 kilometers of range, a sturdier chassis with better suspension tuning for stable and safe highway driving, plus intelligent systems for road condition alerts. The E-Star also offers slightly more space, making it more comfortable for passengers. Simply put, the upgrade is obvious.

Where is the negative terminal of the BMW 3 Series?

The negative terminal of the BMW 3 Series is located behind the right front headlight and is a metal post. Introduction to negative grounding: Negative grounding refers to all power sources and electrical equipment in the car, where the negative terminal is directly connected to the car body. The car body serves as the common circuit for the electrical system. After switching to negative grounding, the electrochemical corrosion in the car's electrical system is significantly reduced. Principle of negative grounding: The car body is connected to the negative terminal of the battery. The battery in the car is mainly a lead-acid battery, with lead dioxide on the positive plate and pure lead on the negative plate, and the electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid. After negative grounding, the negative plate of the battery has free lead ions and electrons, with a potential of -0.1V, and the electrons on the negative plate are in an excess state. In this case, the negative terminal of the battery can provide electrons to the car body steel plate at any time, making the steel plate less likely to lose electrons and less prone to oxidation.

What are the reasons for the failure of BMW engine's fuel-saving start-stop function?

BMW automatic start-stop failure may occur due to the following reasons: the driver accidentally pressing the start-stop button leading to system deactivation; the engine not reaching normal operating temperature; sudden braking of the vehicle; or a malfunction in the start-stop system. Introduction to engine automatic start-stop: During vehicle operation when temporarily stopping (e.g., at a red light), the engine automatically shuts off. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. This system is known in English as STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop operations. How engine automatic start-stop works: By integrating an enhanced motor with idle start-stop functionality into a traditional engine, the system allows the engine to completely shut off when idle stop conditions are met. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly restarting the engine for seamless transition, significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

What does the speed lock of Geely New Vision refer to?

Geely New Vision speed lock refers to the automatic pressing of the lock button when the vehicle speed reaches the computer-set speed, with the purpose of preventing accidental door opening. Basic introduction to speed lock: Also known as speed-sensing automatic locking, it is an electronic device. When the vehicle speed reaches the computer-set speed, the lock button on the door will automatically press down to prevent accidental door opening. The set value is determined by the manufacturer, typically ranging between 10 to 20 km/h. Characteristics of speed lock: The characteristics of speed lock are twofold. The advantages include quick locking after driving, which can prevent door pulling and robbery during traffic jams or at red lights; providing protection for children inside the vehicle; preventing child passengers from opening the door while driving. The disadvantages include that in the event of a collision during driving, passengers may not have time to unlock the doors. If the accident is severe and passengers are unconscious, the locked state of the speed lock may affect the speed of rescue operations.

Which lights stay on after the self-check of Volkswagen Bora?

The lights that stay on after the self-check of Volkswagen Bora are the engine emission fault light and the car voltage fault light. Introduction to car self-check: When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the electronic control units in the car will send test signals to the corresponding sensors and actuators to test whether they can work normally and whether the communication between the control units is smooth. All fault lights on the dashboard will light up, and at the same time, the sensors and actuators will feed back their operating information to the electronic control units. This process is the self-check process of the car's electronic control system. Duration of car self-check: To achieve the goal of allowing the driver to understand the vehicle information more clearly and accurately, the fault lights will stay on for 3-6 seconds. Then, the fault-free signal lights will turn off, while the fault signal lights will stay on to remind the driver. If the fault is minor and does not affect safety, the engine will be allowed to start, and the car can still drive normally.
