Chery Ant charging requires grounding, and it should be installed by professionals. It is not recommended to install it privately. Electric vehicle charging precautions: Protect the charger and try to avoid bumps and vibrations; It is recommended to charge daily to keep the battery in a shallow cycle state, which will extend the battery's lifespan; Periodically perform a deep discharge on the battery to "activate the battery." Electric vehicle charging time: Charging an electric vehicle at 220 volts usually takes about 9 hours to fully charge; If using a dedicated charging pile, it can be fully charged in two hours; If using a professional charging station, it only takes 15 minutes to half an hour to fully charge. Charging power and the vehicle's battery capacity directly affect the charging time.

Yes, the Chery Ant absolutely requires a grounding wire when charging, and I've learned this from personal experience. Charging is similar to charging a phone but more complex, and the grounding wire prevents electric leakage accidents. A friend of mine tried to save trouble by using a regular two-hole socket to charge, and suddenly the charger sparked, almost causing injury. Later inspection revealed it was due to no grounding, leaving the current with nowhere to go. Both the Chery Ant's charging station and portable charger are designed to rely on grounding. If the socket wiring is faulty, the system will alarm and interrupt charging. For home use, it's recommended to first check the socket with a test pen to see if there's a grounding wire; if not, buy a grounding adapter for emergencies, but in the long run, have an electrician install a reliable grounding. Safe driving starts with details—don't gamble with your life. Developing good habits saves major trouble.

What Causes the Throttle Pedal to Vibrate at High Speeds?

Vibration of the throttle pedal during high-speed driving is caused by looseness in the ball joint of the steering tie rod. Below are specific details about the throttle pedal: 1. Starting: The operation of the throttle pedal should use the right heel placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, with the sole gently pressing on the accelerator pedal, using the flexion and extension of the ankle joint to press down or release. When pressing or releasing the throttle pedal, the force should be gentle, ensuring a light press and slow release. 2. Starting the engine: Do not press the throttle pedal all the way down; it is better to have it slightly above the idle throttle. When starting, it is advisable to apply a bit of throttle just before the clutch engagement point, with the throttle opening ideally set to a small or medium level. 3. During operation: The throttle should be increased or decreased according to road conditions and actual needs. Select an appropriate gear to ensure the engine operates mostly at medium speed and with a larger throttle opening to save fuel.

Is it fined to change a spare tire on the highway by yourself?

You can change a spare tire on the highway by yourself, but you must do it in the emergency stopping lane and set up a warning sign. Here are some precautions for changing a spare tire on the highway: 1. When parking: If your vehicle breaks down and you have to stop, immediately park it on the right hard shoulder or emergency stopping lane and turn on the hazard warning lights. If it is at night, don’t forget to turn on the side marker lights and taillights. 2. Setting up a warning sign: Set up a warning sign, commonly known as a triangular warning sign. It is usually placed in one of three places in the car: the trunk, the inside of the trunk lid, or under the trunk cover. Place the reflective side of the warning sign facing outward, walk in the direction of oncoming traffic, and place it 150 meters away in the corresponding lane. 3. Evacuation: Immediately evacuate to the outside of the right guardrail and call the national unified highway emergency rescue number 12122 for assistance.

Do Highway Violation Cameras Capture Speeding?

Highway violation cameras do capture speeding. Vehicle speeding is generally detected through average speed enforcement between two points. This method calculates the vehicle's speed by measuring the time it takes to travel between two monitoring points, thereby determining if a speeding violation has occurred. Below is additional information about highway cameras: 1. Regular cameras: These specifically capture violations related to lane usage, such as crossing lines or driving in emergency lanes. 2. Speed detection cameras: The monitoring systems for speed detection are more expensive. From a cost perspective, not all surveillance cameras can detect speed, but speed detection cameras also have the functionality of regular cameras. 3. Speeding and surveillance cameras use two different types of cameras: (1) One type is a high-definition camera primarily responsible for capturing violations, as it can clearly photograph the vehicle's license plate number and the driver's approximate appearance. (2) The other type is more basic, used only for observing traffic flow and road conditions.

Is driving at 107 km/h on a highway with a 100 km/h speed limit considered speeding?

Driving at 107 km/h on a highway with a 100 km/h speed limit is considered speeding. Here are the specific details: 1. Speed limit regulations: A speed limit refers to the prescribed maximum driving speed for a certain length of road segment, serving as a reminder for drivers to reasonably control their speed when traveling on that section. Exceeding the prescribed speed constitutes speeding, and drivers must strictly adhere to the designated speed limits while on the road. 2. Purpose of speed limits: To prevent dangers caused by speeding and maintain normal and stable road conditions, speed limits are implemented for specific road segments. These limits are based on factors such as the number of lanes, types of vehicles, traffic flow, etc., within a certain period, to establish safe and reasonable speed requirements. 3. Specific speed limit values: Typically, the specific speed limit values can be communicated to drivers entering the segment through electronic navigation or road signs. Generally, speed limits on highways range from 60 km/h to 120 km/h, while those on primary roads range from 60 km/h to 100 km/h.

High Beam or Low Beam on Highways?

Use high beams on highways, but switch to low beams when the distance to the preceding vehicle is within 100 meters. Highway streetlights are not densely distributed, resulting in poor visibility. The illumination range of low beams is about 30 meters, which can easily lead to accidents. In contrast, high beams have a longer illumination range of approximately 100 meters, providing sufficient distance to handle sudden situations. During extreme weather conditions, use lights cautiously. In heavy fog, for instance, high beams can cause light scattering, making it impossible to see anything in front of the car. In such cases, the appropriate action is to proceed slowly with low beams.
