How long does an ETC charge last?

[LaIker]

Generally, an ETC charge can last for 2-3 months. The ETC user manual does not specify how long a single charge lasts. For vehicle owners who do not frequently use ETC, it is recommended to charge the ETC device once every 3 months. For ETC devices with wired power supply, it is advisable to charge them once a month if they are not used for a long time, to avoid affecting the battery lifespan due to self-discharge. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under the individual's name. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with company seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); original ID card of the agent; original vehicle driving license; the vehicle for which ETC is to be applied. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Using computer networking technology, it settles the toll with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Reduces wear and tear: Lowers costs by reducing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, decreasing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improves efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can improve traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
