Electric vehicles can use air conditioning while charging, but this is not recommended. The reason is that using the air conditioning during the charging process increases the internal charge load on the power battery pack of new energy electric vehicles, causing the battery pack to continue working before it is fully charged. This significantly accelerates the battery degradation of the power battery pack. Precautions for charging electric vehicles: 1. Correctly grasp the charging time: The battery charging time is about ten hours, and overcharging should be avoided. Plan charging stops in advance when preparing for a trip to avoid running out of power while driving. 2. Protect the charger: Try to avoid bumps and vibrations to the charger. To reduce costs, most chargers today are not designed for high vibration resistance. Many chargers experience internal potentiometer drift after vibration, leading to parameter drift and abnormal charging. Therefore, if you must move the charger, it is recommended to wrap it in plastic foam for protection.

Maintenance: Walk-in or Appointment?

If you're in a hurry, it's advisable to make an appointment in advance. Otherwise, you can go directly. Below are the maintenance items required for a new car's first service: 1. Replacement: Replace the three filters and engine oil. 2. Inspection: Check whether the brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid need replacement. 3. Testing: Test the brake pads, tires, shock absorbers, and suspension. 4. Inspection: Inspect the spark plugs, throttle valve, and fuel supply system. 5. Rotation: Rotate the front and rear wheels and perform a routine check. Below is additional information on summer vehicle maintenance: 1. Sunshade: Sunshades are usually made of foil, which reflects most sunlight and is particularly effective for short-term parking. They also prevent direct sunlight on the dashboard. 2. Car cover: In addition to preventing paint aging, car covers provide shade and protection against sun exposure. If you need to park outdoors for an extended period, a car cover is essential.

What is the Principle of Automobile Movement?

The principle of automobile movement is that the engine converts the energy of gasoline into kinetic energy to drive the car, obtaining kinetic energy by burning gasoline inside the car engine. The following is a detailed introduction to the four-stroke engine: 1. Classification: The four-stroke engine belongs to the reciprocating piston-type internal combustion engine. According to the type of fuel used, it is divided into three categories: gasoline engines, diesel engines, and gas fuel engines. Piston-type internal combustion engines that use gasoline or diesel as fuel are called gasoline engines or diesel engines, respectively. Piston-type internal combustion engines that use natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and other gas fuels are called gas fuel engines. Gasoline and diesel are petroleum products and are traditional fuels for car engines. Non-petroleum fuels are called alternative fuels. Engines that burn alternative fuels are called alternative fuel engines, such as ethanol engines, hydrogen engines, methanol engines, etc. 2. Working Process: A four-stroke gasoline engine completes a working cycle through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. During this process, the piston moves up and down four times, and the corresponding crankshaft rotates twice.

How to Cancel the Driving Test (Subject 2) Reservation?

To cancel the test reservation, follow these methods: 1. With a computer: Log in to the official website of the local vehicle management office - the online driving test reservation system, and proceed to cancel the subject test reservation. 2. Without a computer: You can also promptly notify the local vehicle management office to cancel. The cancellation must be made at least one day before the scheduled test date. Additional information: 1. Reservation: Before the implementation of the new regulations, the reservation for the Subject 2 test could only be made ten days after the Subject 1 test. Currently, the most common method is to make the reservation via the Traffic Management 12123 app. 2. Face-to-face verification: For face-to-face verification, the phone number on the medical examination form and the individual's ID number must be used to register and log in to the Traffic Management 12123 app. Then, find and click on 'Test Reservation' on the homepage to proceed with the reservation.

What Causes Abnormal Noise in Car Air Conditioning Cooling?

Here are the specific reasons for abnormal noise in car air conditioning cooling: 1. Throttle valve clogging or sticking: After the air conditioning is turned on, the compressor will also start working. Since the compressor is driven by the engine, turning on the air conditioning increases the engine load, requiring the throttle valve to open wider to allow more air intake. When the throttle valve has carbon buildup or is stuck, it can cause engine vibration and abnormal noise. 2. Air conditioning pump noise: There are two main reasons for air conditioning pump noise—the electromagnetic clutch and the bearings inside the air conditioning pump. Noise from the electromagnetic clutch is mainly due to wear, which increases the gap, while noise from the air conditioning pump bearings is primarily caused by insufficient lubrication. If not addressed promptly, it can lead to the air conditioning pump burning out, rendering the cooling function inoperable. 3. Improper tension of the compressor drive belt: If the drive belt is too loose, the electromagnetic clutch is prone to slipping; if it's too tight, the load on the electromagnetic clutch increases. Improper drive belt tension can cause abnormal noise in mild cases and damage the air conditioning compressor in severe cases.

Can the Wuling Hongguang be driven on highways?

Wuling Hongguang mini is a regular electric vehicle that meets the required conditions and can be driven on highways. Below is relevant information about driving on highways: Introduction to highways: Highways refer to high-speed roads, compared to medium-speed and low-speed roads. In environments where low speed is the norm, low speed is considered normal or standard speed, while in environments where medium speed is the norm, medium speed is considered normal or standard speed. Precautions for driving on highways: When driving on highways, it is important to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. When the speed is above 100km/h, keep a distance of more than 100 meters. There are distance confirmation signs on highways that help in maintaining the correct distance. Stay away from trucks; do not drive side by side with trucks or follow closely behind them—try to overtake them instead. Maintain driving in the middle lane; the leftmost lane on highways is usually the overtaking lane, while large trucks generally stay in the rightmost lane.
