Non-operational vehicles and operational vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-operational vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as small and micro non-operational vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for operational vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro operational passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium operational passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Micro operational trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large operational trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The owner of the vehicle applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and submit the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection by the vehicle inspection office and confirmation that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Regulations on Vehicle Registration", if a vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the place of registration, the owner may sell the scrapped vehicle to a local vehicle recycling company. If an operational vehicle is converted to a non-operational vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original operational vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Regulations on Vehicle Registration", after completing the transfer or deregistration of a vehicle, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) submitted within six months after the transfer or deregistration; (2) the owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

What to Do If a Gecko Gets into the Car?

Prepare a tall, wide-mouthed glass jar, place a few pieces of crushed rock sugar inside, and cover most of the jar's opening to lure the gecko in for feeding. You can use a 1:20 diluted bleach solution to wipe down the interior of the car, repeating the process periodically. To repel geckos, first improve the environment by maintaining cleanliness, eliminating moisture, and avoiding clutter buildup.

What to Do When an Electric Car Runs Out of Battery Midway?

You can choose the method of jump-starting the battery. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Jump-starting the battery: Use the battery from another car to jump-start, which is the preferred method for most people and sometimes the only option. When connecting the cables, ensure the correct sequence: connect the positive terminal of the rescue car to the positive terminal of the faulty car, then connect the negative terminal of the rescue car to the engine's grounding strap or engine block. The disconnection sequence should be the reverse. 2. Push-start method: For manual transmission vehicles, the push-start method can be used. The specific method is: one person sits in the driver's seat, turns on the ignition, presses the clutch pedal, shifts into second gear, and then others push the car. When the speed reaches above 10 km/h, the driver quickly releases the clutch pedal, allowing the car to rotate the engine, which will then start. However, this operation is somewhat difficult, so beginners should not attempt it lightly. 3. Use an emergency power bank: There is an emergency jump-start power bank that can be directly clamped onto the battery to start the car. Its principle is essentially the same as borrowing power from another vehicle, but it can only be used once or twice.

Is Battery Size Measured in Volts or Amperes?

Capacity is measured in amperes. Ampere, also known as milliampere, is a unit of electric current, while volt is the unit of voltage, referred to as volt. Below is relevant information about batteries: 1. Battery: A battery, also known as a storage battery, is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The term 'battery' typically refers to lead-acid batteries, which are primarily made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's usage conditions. 2. Battery Replacement: If the battery is dead, it is recommended to first measure the battery voltage. When using a multimeter for inspection, measure the battery voltage during engine cranking. You can initially use a high-frequency discharge machine or a battery tester for measurement. Under a load current of no less than 110 amperes, the minimum voltage should not be lower than 9.6 volts and should remain stable for 5 seconds. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts but can remain stable for 5 seconds, it indicates over-discharge, and the battery should be recharged promptly. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts and cannot remain stable for 5 seconds, rapidly dropping to 0 volts or close to 0 volts, it suggests a battery malfunction that may require replacement.
