After an electric vehicle is submerged in water, you must wait until the charger is completely dry before charging. Below are detailed instructions: Overview: If the electric vehicle is not severely water-damaged, you can let it sit for a few days without riding it. Then, use a hairdryer to thoroughly dry it or let it air dry naturally. The battery of an electric vehicle can be used 1-3 days after being submerged in water. If the battery compartment is flooded, first drain the water, wipe it dry with a cloth, and use a hairdryer to dry it to minimize water residue. Additional Notes: The most vulnerable parts of an electric vehicle when submerged in water are the motor and controller. Owners should pay special attention to the depth of water; the vehicle can only operate normally if the water level does not exceed half of the electric wheel.

Should DUAL be turned on when using the air conditioner?

DUAL in a car is the air conditioning zone control button. By pressing the DUAL switch, you can independently adjust the air conditioning temperature for either the driver's seat or the front passenger seat. Whether to turn it on or not can be decided by the owner based on their needs. Usage of this button: The DUAL switch can meet the different air temperature requirements of passengers in two different positions inside the car. The independent temperature zones allow for flexible adjustment and switching between different temperature differences. Introduction to zone air conditioning: Zone air conditioning can independently adjust the temperature in different areas within a single cabin. For example, dual-zone air conditioning means the temperature on the left and right sides of the car can be adjusted independently; four-zone air conditioning means the temperature in the front and rear rows, as well as the left and right sides, can be adjusted independently, meaning there are four areas where the temperature can be independently controlled.

What causes loud engine noise?

Loud engine noise in a car is often caused by issues with engine oil or the oil filter, which can be resolved by changing the oil or cleaning the oil filter. Engine oil and oil filter malfunctions: The engine requires oil for internal lubrication. If there are problems with the oil or the oil circulation system, or if the oil filter is faulty, lubrication efficiency decreases, resulting in louder engine noise. Oil cooler malfunction: The oil cooler's function is to cool the lubricating oil, maintaining the oil temperature within the normal operating range. In high-power performance engines, due to high thermal loads, an oil cooler must be installed. During engine operation, as oil viscosity decreases with rising temperature, lubrication capability is reduced. Therefore, some engines are equipped with oil coolers to lower oil temperature and maintain proper oil viscosity. The oil cooler is positioned within the lubrication system's oil circulation circuit.

What does a mortgaged car mean?

Mortgaged car refers to a vehicle that is used as collateral for a debt by the debtor or a third party without transferring possession of the car. If the debtor fails to fulfill the debt, the creditor has the right to legally offset the debt with the car's value or through auction. Buying and selling mortgaged cars: Mortgaged cars can be purchased, but the mortgage must be released first. Before the mortgage is released, the car cannot be transferred. If purchased without releasing the mortgage, it essentially constitutes a form of sub-mortgage. Most mortgaged cars: For a mortgaged car to be transferred, the owner must sign a mortgage release agreement, which is often very difficult. Therefore, most mortgaged cars cannot be transferred.

What is the difference between 3D1 and 3D6?

3D1 and 3D6 represent imported motors and domestically produced motors respectively, with the main differences lying in their power parameters. Different power outputs: Taking the Model 3 Standard Range Rear-Wheel Drive version as an example, the domestically produced 3D6 has a maximum power of 220kW and a maximum torque of 440N·m, while the imported 3D1 has a maximum power of 202kW and a maximum torque of 404N·m. However, both models are priced the same. 3D1 is more popular among consumers: Before the 2021 facelift, Tesla Model 3 had always used imported motors, so the durability and reliability of the imported motors have been tested by numerous consumers, and no significant issues have been reported. Additionally, there is a common perception among Chinese consumers that 'imported products are superior to domestic ones,' which leads more consumers to choose the 3D1.

Is One Day Enough for Tax Payment and License Plate Registration?

The process from tax payment to license plate registration requires a certain time interval. The specific duration depends on the number of people handling the business in the local city. In some areas, it can be completed within one day, while in others, it may take up to 2 days from the date of application acceptance. Time limit for paying purchase tax: Taxpayers who purchase taxable vehicles for personal use should declare and pay taxes within 60 days from the date of purchase. The vehicle purchase tax must be paid in full at one time. This means that vehicle owners must declare within 60 days of purchasing the vehicle. If overdue, a late fee of 0.05% of the purchase tax amount will be charged daily. Relevant regulations: According to the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China," only after paying the purchase tax can the vehicle be registered for a license plate. Otherwise, it will not be eligible for registration.

What is the purpose of adding urea to a vehicle?

Adding urea to a vehicle primarily serves the purpose of purifying exhaust emissions. The scientific name for automotive urea is Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), which is used in diesel engines. It reacts with nitrogen oxides in the exhaust to reduce their emissions and also optimizes engine performance and fuel consumption. Introduction to automotive urea: Scientifically known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid, it is a consumable essential for SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology. The SCR system includes a urea tank and an SCR catalytic reaction tank. The operation process of the SCR system is as follows: when nitrogen oxides are detected in the exhaust pipe, the urea tank automatically sprays DEF, which then undergoes a redox reaction with nitrogen oxides in the SCR catalytic reaction tank, producing harmless nitrogen and water vapor that are expelled. Consequences of not using Diesel Exhaust Fluid: If DEF is not used, or if its purity is insufficient, or if it is of inferior quality, the vehicle's engine will automatically decelerate. Additionally, inferior quality DEF can contaminate the catalyst in the SCR catalytic reaction tank, leading to serious consequences.
