For an electric vehicle equipped with a 72V 20Ah battery, the charging time from a fully discharged state is approximately 8 to 10 hours. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Charging Duration For an electric vehicle equipped with a 72V 20Ah battery, the charging time from a fully discharged state is approximately 8 to 10 hours. It is generally recommended to continue floating charging for 2 hours after the indicator light turns green before disconnecting the power. 2. Charging Capacity For lead-acid batteries used in electric vehicles, the typical charging capacity is 1.05 times the discharged capacity. For a 72V 20Ah battery, assuming it is fully discharged (i.e., at rated capacity), the required charging capacity would be 20 * 1.05 = 21Ah. With an average charging voltage of 77.4V, the total power consumption is approximately 1.63 kWh.

What's the reason when the brake pedal can't be pressed down and the car won't start?

There are mainly the following reasons why the brake pedal can't be pressed down: 1. The car's vacuum booster pump is leaking or malfunctioning: The force to press the brake pedal needs to be amplified by the brake booster pump. If it fails, the brake loses its power assistance, making it very hard to press; 2. Difficulty pressing the brake after the engine is off, which is also related to the brake booster pump: The brake booster pump continuously generates vacuum only when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies on the residual vacuum assistance, which usually disappears after a few presses. However, this condition will recover after starting the engine and is not a malfunction.

What are the disadvantages of turbocharging?

Turbocharging has the following disadvantages: 1. Acceleration issue: Due to the inertia of the impeller, there is a delayed response to sudden throttle changes. This means there is a time lag between the driver pressing the accelerator to increase power and the impeller rotating to force more air into the engine for greater power output, and this delay is not insignificant. 2. Higher maintenance costs: Turbocharging also comes with maintenance-related issues. 3. Limited activation opportunities: The turbo is not always in an active state. In fact, during daily driving, the turbocharger is rarely activated or even used, which affects the daily performance of turbocharged engines.

How to Drive in Traffic Congestion for Beginners?

For beginners encountering traffic congestion, the following driving methods are recommended: 1. During traffic jams, try to slightly offset your vehicle to the left from the car in front, allowing you to see several vehicles ahead. After the car in front starts moving, leave a gap of one car length before following (making it harder for other cars to cut in), while paying attention to the movements of the four or five cars ahead. If the leading cars only move one meter and then brake, do not proceed further to avoid rear-end collisions due to late braking. 2. Driving in the city, especially during rush hours, often involves encountering congestion. At such times, the distance between cars is very small, often less than 3 meters, with speeds between 20~30km/h, or even below 20km/h. Following too closely can lead to rear-end collisions, while following too far may irritate the drivers behind.

What is the difference between 5w30 and 5w40?

The difference between 5w30 and 5w40 lies in their kinematic viscosity standards at 100 degrees Celsius. In simpler terms, 5w40 oil has higher viscosity than 5w30, providing better protection under high-temperature conditions. The main factors for choosing between these oils are as follows: 1. Vehicle type: Different car models require different oils. The choice of oil should follow the car manual. American cars generally have more precise engines, making 5w30 oil (lower viscosity) the most suitable. German cars often have turbocharged engines with larger gaps, requiring 5w40 oil (higher viscosity). 2. Traffic conditions: To minimize the impact of road conditions on oil lifespan, choosing the right oil viscosity is crucial. For daily commuting, a lower viscosity oil (5w30) is recommended to reduce carbon buildup. For frequent highway driving, where engine heat and wear are more severe, 5w40 oil is advised. 3. Vehicle age: This is also a critical factor. As a car ages, engine wear and tear become more significant, necessitating the use of 5w40 oil for better protection. Newer cars can use 5w30 oil.

What Are the Potential Hazards of Scraping the Car's Undercarriage?

Whether scraping the car's undercarriage poses any hazards mainly depends on the specific area that was impacted. The following scenarios can be considered: 1. If components like the exhaust pipe of the undercarriage are scraped, then only parts of the exhaust system are affected. 2. If suspension components, such as the control arm, are severely scraped and deformed, the car's wheel alignment parameters may become misaligned. 3. If the undercarriage reinforcement components are scraped and not addressed promptly, it could lead to severe undercarriage corrosion.

What Causes the Car Lights to Keep Flashing?

If it's the hazard lights, it might be because they were turned on. For other lights, it could be due to poor contact. You can visit a nearby repair shop to check the specific cause. Here is some information about hazard lights: 1. Hazard lights are the car's emergency warning lights, designed to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that the car is in an emergency situation and requires timely avoidance. In other words, when driving, if you need other vehicles to slow down or even stop to give way, you should turn on the hazard lights. 2. Hazard lights should only be turned on when necessary and should not be used otherwise.
