Selling a car and transferring ownership must be processed at the DMV in the city where the vehicle's license plate is registered. Documents required for selling a car: Vehicle Registration Certificate: The vehicle must be within the valid inspection period, and the registration certificate must have proof of the valid inspection. Vehicle Title (Registration Certificate): If the vehicle title is missing, it must be reissued before the transfer can proceed. Proof of Vehicle Purchase Tax: Generally, legally traded vehicles have this document, but special cases like "black plate" vehicles, smuggled cars, or confiscated vehicles lack this proof. The purchase tax must be paid, and the proof must be issued before the transfer. Invoice for the Vehicle: The original purchase invoice or the last transfer receipt is required. If the seller loses it, an individual can write and sign a statement, while a company must affix its financial seal on the statement. Identity Proof: The original ID of the vehicle owner is needed. For company-owned vehicles, the company seal and organization code certificate are required. If the company has changed its name or gone out of business, a proof from the industrial and commercial department is necessary.

Can New Energy Vehicles Be Charged Outdoors in the Rain?

New energy vehicles can be charged outdoors in the rain. The charging ports of new energy vehicles have a waterproof rating of IP55, which means they can be safely charged outside even during heavy rain without worrying about electric leakage or electric shock issues. Some precautions when using charging piles: Check the charging gun: Before using the charging gun, inspect it to ensure there are no foreign objects or water inside the gun head. This prevents damage or corrosion to the charging port and electrodes when inserting the gun. Poor contact between the charging gun and the port can cause abnormal heating and, in severe cases, even lead to spontaneous combustion. Listen for the locking sound: When inserting the charging gun, make sure you hear a locking sound. If there is no sound, it may indicate that the gun is not properly inserted or that the locking mechanism is damaged, which could allow water to enter.

What to Do When the Steering Wheel Locks?

The solution to a locked steering wheel is: insert the steering wheel key, then gently wiggle the steering wheel left and right to unlock it. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Typically, steering wheels can be categorized into power-assisted and non-power-assisted types. The former requires 1.5 turns to lock the steering wheel, while the latter, found in older models, requires 2 turns. 2. Steering wheel lock is a very basic anti-theft feature of a car. Its principle involves using the rotation of the key to control a steel pin via a spring. When the key is removed, any movement of the steering wheel causes the steel pin to pop into a pre-drilled hole, locking the steering wheel in place. When the steering wheel is locked, it cannot be turned, the key cannot be rotated, and the car cannot be started, thereby achieving anti-theft.

Why does the car air conditioner blow hot air when AC is turned on?

When the car air conditioner blows hot air with AC turned on, it is because the temperature is not adjusted to the cooling zone. Below is the relevant introduction about car air conditioning: 1. Compression process: The compressor inhales the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas at the outlet of the evaporator and compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is then discharged from the compressor. 2. Heat dissipation process: The high-temperature and high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas enters the condenser. Due to the decrease in pressure and temperature, the refrigerant gas condenses into a liquid and releases a large amount of heat. 3. Throttling process: The refrigerant liquid with higher temperature and pressure passes through the expansion device, causing its volume to increase, and the pressure and temperature drop sharply, discharging from the expansion device in a mist form (fine liquid droplets).
