PHEV, also known as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, can recharge the battery not only through the internal combustion engine driving the generator when the battery is low but also by recovering excess kinetic energy to charge the battery, allowing the electric motor to participate in vehicle propulsion. Therefore, long-term non-charging will not affect the battery and motor of plug-in hybrid vehicles. However, to avoid increased fuel consumption, it is recommended to charge promptly. Relevant information: The BinYue PHEV is the first plug-in hybrid SUV under Geely's BMA modular architecture, equipped with P2.5 hybrid technology, making it also the first Geely model to feature both BMA and P2.5 dual architectures. Powertrain: It adopts a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine + 7DCT transmission + ternary lithium battery, with a pure electric range of 62km and an official 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 6.9 seconds.

What is the reason for the Audi Q5 shaking after ignition and then disappearing after a while?

Audi Q5 shaking after ignition and then disappearing after a while may be caused by the following reasons: Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle valve or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean mixture during cold starts, making it difficult to start and causing shaking. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or spark plugs can also lead to such fault symptoms. Unstable oil pressure: It is recommended to check whether the fuel supply pressure and intake pressure sensor are normal. If the fuel pump supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor values are incorrect or not working properly, it can cause body shaking.

What are the requirements for opening a 4S store?

Opening a car 4S store requires the following main conditions: a minimum registered capital of 10 million RMB; the same brand's 4S stores in the same city have not reached saturation; the distance between other same-brand 4S stores in the same city must be over 10 kilometers; and the working capital must exceed 10 million RMB. The advantages of a car 4S store include: 1. Brand advantage: Most car 4S stores deal with car brands that have good brand effects, strong competitiveness, and a large market share, making brand advantage their primary competitive edge, which other car sales models cannot match. 2. Complete service system: The core competitiveness of a car 4S store lies in winning customers with high-quality services. At a car 4S store, consumers can access all value-added services related to car information, market trends, after-sales services, maintenance instructions, and parts supply. Whether it's the whole vehicle or spare parts, everything is guaranteed to be original, relieving consumers of any concerns regarding after-sales service, repairs, and maintenance.

What is the normal temperature range for a motorcycle engine?

When the engine is operating, the maximum temperature in its combustion chamber can exceed 2000 degrees Celsius, with the engine oil temperature reaching over 100 degrees. The hottest components such as the cylinder head, cylinder block, and piston can reach approximately 100 degrees or higher, which represents their normal operating temperature. The following are the impacts of engine overheating: 1. Severe engine overheating further reduces the engine's air charging efficiency, leading to decreased intake of fresh air-fuel mixture into the cylinders, lower mean effective pressure, and consequently reduced engine power output. 2. Excessive engine temperature facilitates the formation of carbon deposits from lubricating oil that enters the cylinders under high-temperature oxygen-deficient conditions. These carbon deposits accumulate on piston crowns, combustion chamber walls, valve heads, and spark plugs, creating hot spots that may cause uncontrolled ignition and abnormal combustion. This can result in deformation of engine blocks and cylinder heads, potentially causing cracks or warping, as well as burning cylinder head gaskets. Ultimately, this leads to reduced cylinder pressure at the end of compression stroke and increased fuel consumption.

How many kilometers can an Envision run on a full tank of gas?

Buick Envision has a nominal fuel tank capacity of 65 liters, and a full tank can run at least 550 kilometers. Mileage per tank of fuel: How many kilometers a private car can run on a full tank mainly depends on the engine displacement and fuel tank size. For a car with a 2.0L displacement, the fuel consumption is about 10 liters per 100 kilometers. With a 60-70 liter fuel tank, it can run 600-700 kilometers. Precautions for refueling: When the yellow warning light comes on, there is only a small amount of fuel left in the tank. Generally, you should refuel at this point, but it's better to refuel before the yellow light comes on. Many car manuals suggest refueling when the tank is one-quarter full. If the fuel level is too low, the fuel pump won't be fully submerged, which hinders heat dissipation. Without timely cooling, the fuel pump's lifespan will be affected and it may even burn out.

Is the BMW 3 Series really expensive in terms of later costs?

Not very high. Many people hesitate between the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series, and Audi A4L. In terms of 4S maintenance costs, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is the most expensive, with costly parts and high labor charges at 4S shops. The BMW 3 Series follows a more practical and pragmatic maintenance approach, requiring only oil and oil filter changes unless necessary. The Audi A4L, on the other hand, requires spark plug replacements every 20,000 kilometers. Therefore, the BMW 3 Series offers the best cost-performance ratio in terms of maintenance costs. The BMW 3 Series: The BMW 3 Series requires approximately 5.5 liters of engine oil, with the exact amount verifiable via the oil dipstick or the car's manual. Currently, there are 7 models of the BMW 3 Series available, all equipped with a 2.0T engine and a choice of 1 automatic transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power of 135kW, a maximum horsepower of 184PS, and a maximum torque of 270N·m.
