Owners do not need to pay for charging the battery at a 4S store. Specific precautions for electric vehicle charging: Master the correct charging time. Develop the habit of frequent charging, and do not wait until the battery level is too low before charging. Additionally, stop charging immediately once the battery is fully charged, similar to charging a mobile phone. Turn off the car's power supply during charging. When charging the car, be sure to turn off electrical equipment such as the audio system and air conditioning. Charging while consuming electricity will accelerate battery wear and cause the battery to overheat. Just as fuel-powered cars turn off the engine when refueling at a gas station, the same applies to charging—develop good habits. Avoid overheating of the charging plug during charging. Loose 220-volt power plugs or charger output plugs, as well as oxidized contact surfaces, can cause the plug to overheat. Prolonged overheating can lead to short circuits or poor contact, damaging the charger and battery and causing unnecessary losses. Hazards of overcharging: Batteries should not be overcharged or over-discharged. Both overcharging and over-discharging will reduce the battery's lifespan. Any product that uses a battery should avoid "over-discharging," and pure electric vehicles are no exception. Although battery packs are designed with protection systems, frequently driving the car until the "red light" appears will affect the battery pack's lifespan.

What is the new energy vehicle scrapping policy?

When the capacity of the power battery decays to less than 80% of its original state, it should be considered as the end of the power battery's service life and must be retired from the new energy vehicle. Additional information: 1. Power battery: The biggest difference between new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles lies in the power system. Since the power battery of new energy vehicles gradually degrades with increased usage, its service life also shortens accordingly. As the core component for energy storage in new energy vehicles, if the power battery reaches the end of its service life, the vehicle can hardly function normally. Therefore, whether the power battery is scrapped should be one of the criteria for determining whether a new energy vehicle should be scrapped. 2. Criteria for power battery scrapping: According to industry regulations, the judgment of whether a power battery should be scrapped is based on its degradation level. When the battery capacity remains above 80% of its original state, the battery's service life has not ended, and it has not met the scrapping standard, meaning it can still be used as a power battery in new energy vehicles.

What do the M+ and M- on an automatic transmission shifter represent?

M stands for Manual, indicating the entry into manual shifting mode. Typically, there will be a + and a - sign next to the M gear. By moving the gear lever left/right or up/down, you can perform manual shifting. The usage methods under different circumstances are as follows: 1. Low-speed overtaking: Use "M-" to downshift. Lowering the gear increases torque output, allowing the car to accelerate quickly. A slight throttle assist makes overtaking easier. 2. Uphill driving: Use "M-" to downshift, providing sufficient torque. For steep slopes, you can lower the gear to first or second for more power. 3. Downhill driving: Use "M+" or "M-" to adjust the gear to 2-3, utilizing engine braking. If the speed remains high, apply the brakes for additional braking. 4. Slippery or icy roads: Adjust the gear to 2 using "M+" or "M-". Avoid sudden throttle inputs to reduce wheel spin and improve traction. 5. Highway driving: Use "M+" to upshift, maintaining a speed of 80-100km/h for better fuel efficiency.

What is the National Vehicle Emission Standard?

Vehicle emission standards refer to the harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). Here is extended information on how to check vehicle emission standards: 1. Vehicle Conformity Certificate: When purchasing a car, it is essential to request relevant documents and certificates from the salesperson. The Vehicle Conformity Certificate clearly states the vehicle's emission standard. Although it may not explicitly mention whether the vehicle meets China 5 or China 6 standards, the emission standard listed can help determine whether it is a China 5 or China 6 vehicle. 2. Environmental Information On-board List: The Environmental Information On-board List details the vehicle's environmental impact, including its tailpipe emission standard. It directly and clearly indicates the emission stage of the vehicle—whether it is China 5 or China 6. By reviewing this list, you can accurately determine the vehicle's tailpipe emission stage. 3. Vehicle Qualification Certificate: The vehicle's relevant qualification certificate will explicitly state the vehicle's emission standard.

What Causes Intermittent Power Loss in a Haval H6 While Driving?

It may be due to issues with the car's engine, or problems with the fuel supply system and ignition system affecting performance. Engine power reduction could also be caused by carbon buildup in the engine. Carbon deposits in the engine can include various types, such as cylinder carbon deposits, throttle carbon deposits, spark plug carbon deposits, and intake carbon deposits, all of which can impact engine power. Below are detailed explanations: 1. When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the car's ignition system may become misaligned, the engine's air intake efficiency decreases, ultimately leading to a reduction in engine power. The car may exhibit symptoms like weak idling, and in severe cases, it may even shake. 2. Fuel system malfunctions can occur if the car is filled with low-quality gasoline, leading to a decrease in engine power. If the car's fuel requirement is 95 octane, then 95 octane gasoline must be used, as this is the minimum fuel standard for the car. Another possible cause is a blocked fuel tank vent, which can restrict fuel supply, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture in the engine and reduced engine efficiency. 3. Insufficient engine oil or insufficient engine coolant can increase the engine's load, impairing its cooling efficiency, not only reducing engine power but also increasing the car's fuel consumption.

Does adding 92 octane gasoline once affect the Audi A6?

Audi A6 adding 92 octane gasoline once has some impact, but the impact is not significant. The details are as follows: 1. The biggest difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline lies in the 3% n-heptane content. Standard gasoline is composed of n-heptane and isooctane, but since n-heptane has relatively poor anti-knock properties, the amount of n-heptane determines the type of engine it is suitable for. 2. If the wrong gasoline is added, the driving experience may include abnormal vibrations in the engine and even noise. Additionally, since the ignition timing of the engine does not change after a sudden change in fuel quality, it may lead to incomplete combustion or insufficient combustion. Therefore, during driving, especially during aggressive driving, the car may feel underpowered. 3. Some cars that usually use higher-octane gasoline may trigger an engine warning light if they suddenly use lower-octane gasoline once. This means a yellow engine icon may appear on the dashboard while driving. Generally, this icon will disappear on its own after refueling with 95 octane gasoline and driving for a while. 4. After running out this tank of gasoline, simply refill with 95 octane and continue using it. The manufacturing technology of car engines is already very mature, and engines are designed and manufactured with these possible minor mistakes in mind, incorporating such fault-tolerant mechanisms.
