Reporting to insurance for car repairs may not require any out-of-pocket expenses. After a traffic accident occurs, if the traffic police determine that you are fully at fault, the insurance company will cover 80% of the third-party losses; if you are primarily at fault, the insurance company will cover 85%; if you share equal responsibility, the insurance company will cover 90%; and if you are secondarily at fault, the insurance company will cover 95%. Below is a detailed introduction to car insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by law for every car owner. It provides the most basic insurance coverage when a vehicle is involved in a traffic accident. In the event of an accident, this insurance helps the owner cover economic compensation that may be difficult to pay. The compensation amount is determined based on the owner's proportion of responsibility in the accident and whether it resulted in personal injury or death. 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance covers damage to the insured vehicle caused by an accident while being driven by the insured or an authorized driver. The insurance company will compensate within reasonable limits. The premium for this insurance is closely related to the vehicle's purchase price and the number of seats. 3. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This insurance covers direct damage to third-party personal injury, death, or property (excluding the driver and passengers of the insured vehicle) caused by an accident. The insurance company will compensate according to regulations.

The hardware mainly refers to the assembly from single battery cells to the final battery pack encapsulation. Single battery cells mainly consist of positive and negative electrodes, electrolyte, and separator, all derived from raw materials such as nickel, lithium, and graphite. 2. Motor in the three key electric components: Refers to the drive motor system, which includes the motor, reducer (replacing the transmission of traditional fuel vehicles), inverter hardware, and motor control system. 3.

Should You Drive Fast or Slow Through Water?

When driving through water, it is advisable to proceed at a low speed. However, this does not mean crawling at a snail's pace; instead, maintain sufficient power to move slowly to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe and causing engine failure. When encountering waterlogged sections, adapt flexibly based on the depth of the water rather than rigidly adhering to theoretical rules. Below are the consequences of driving too fast or too slow: 1. Driving too fast can cause stalling: When a car enters a waterlogged area, it stirs up water and mud, creating waves. If the speed is too high, water can splash onto pedestrians or vehicles in adjacent lanes, severely impairing visibility and compromising driving safety. Moreover, if the water is too deep, splashed water may enter the engine's air intake, causing the car to stall. 2. Driving too slow can lead to exhaust pipe backflow: The exhaust pipe has a certain thrust that can block water from entering when submerged. However, if the speed is too slow and the water is too deep, the exhaust pipe's thrust may not be enough to prevent water from flowing back. Therefore, while driving slowly through waterlogged sections is recommended, the speed should not be excessively slow.
