The BYD Song DM-i typically has a battery capacity of around 18.3 kWh, and a full charge consumes approximately 18 kWh. I remember when I used the car, after a full charge, it could travel 60-80 km on pure electric power, which was especially convenient. When charging, using a fast-charging station takes about 40 minutes to go from 20% to full, but using a household socket for slow charging takes around seven to eight hours. I usually plug it in at night and wake up to a fully charged car the next morning. In winter or extremely hot weather, the car consumes a bit more electricity due to reduced battery efficiency, but overall, it’s very cost-effective. For city driving, I typically charge it twice a week, which is enough, eliminating the need for frequent refueling—saving money and being eco-friendly. During maintenance, the 4S shop recommends regular checks on the charging system to avoid potential leakage risks. Overall, the battery design is very practical, suitable for daily commutes and short trips.

I've been driving the BYD Song DM-i for almost two years now. A full charge requires 18 kWh of electricity, and at my residential electricity rate of 0.5 yuan per kWh, it only costs 9 yuan to travel 70-80 kilometers. It's incredibly economical! Previously, I drove a gasoline-powered car that cost 0.5-0.6 yuan per kilometer in fuel, so I've saved a significant amount of money now. Charging is usually done at home or in the company parking space, and with fast charging, it takes just half an hour, which doesn't disrupt my schedule. Sometimes when I go shopping, the free charging spots at malls are an added bonus. The system automatically alerts me when the battery is running low, so I quickly find a charging station to top up. However, it's worth noting that electricity rates are slightly higher during peak hours, so I avoid charging during the evening. The battery performs well in the southern summer, but the range decreases a bit in the northern winter, which is normal. Overall, this electric arrangement has made my life much easier, and the burden of car maintenance has significantly decreased.

Every time I charge my BYD Song DM-i, it takes about 18 kWh, and I find it extremely comfortable to drive. The pure electric mode offers quick acceleration and a quiet ride. After a full charge, it easily covers over 60 kilometers, which is more than enough for my daily commute and school runs. Charging stations are conveniently located in both my residential area and shopping malls, with fast charging reaching 80% in just over 30 minutes, never disrupting my schedule. I love going on weekend road trips, and having ample battery power gives me great peace of mind. The battery status can be monitored anytime via the mobile app, and the system even suggests the optimal charging time to prevent excessive wear. This thoughtful design makes the electric vehicle experience even more user-friendly.

What is the difference between a tachometer and an odometer?

Here are the differences between a tachometer and an odometer: 1. Position: Generally, the tachometer is on the left side and the speedometer is on the right. 2. Markings: The tachometer is marked from 0-6000 RPM, while the speedometer is marked from 0-220 km/h. Below is additional information: 1. Position: The odometer (mileage meter) is located below the tachometer and displays the distance traveled in numerical form. 2. Significance: The engine's RPM relates to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power varies with RPM. Therefore, when stating the engine's effective power, the corresponding RPM must also be specified.

What Causes Auto Hold Failure?

Auto hold failure is caused by a malfunction in the ABS pump. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Auto Hold: The foreign term for auto hold is AUTO-HOLD, which refers to an automatic braking function. When this function is activated, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. 2. Precautions: Regardless of the situation when parking, it is essential to develop the habit of pulling the handbrake lever tightly when leaving the vehicle. When using the handbrake, the lever must be pulled tightly; otherwise, it is easy to forget to release it when starting, which can lead to severe wear on the rear brake pads if the vehicle is forced to move.

What Causes Powertrain Failure?

When pressing the accelerator, you may notice insignificant acceleration and insufficient power. This condition most commonly occurs when the engine is overheated or overcooled, or when there is a lack of engine oil. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Power reduction: While driving, you may distinctly feel that the engine's acceleration is not significant when stepping on the accelerator, accompanied by a noticeable drop in power and audible noises. Possible causes include the engine being too cold or too hot, or lacking oil. Generally, when these symptoms appear, potential issues should be considered from aspects such as ignition wires, fuel filters, fuel pumps, air filters, gasoline, spark plugs, and carburetors. First, check if the air filter needs replacement, if the spark plugs have reached the end of their service life, if the ignition coil is damaged, or if there is excessive impurity in the gasoline. The fuel pump should also be inspected. 2. Deceleration or acceleration: The engine may emit a whirring sound, which changes with the engine's RPM. Possible reasons include insufficient power steering fluid—refill if necessary; potential damage to the generator's bearings; or similar noises caused by malfunctions in the water pump or power steering pump.

What are the consequences of an engine shutting down automatically due to lack of water?

Running a car without water in the radiator can cause the engine to overheat and damage its internal components. Here is a detailed explanation: 1. No water in the radiator: Running out of water in the radiator is very serious. Lack of water in the car's radiator can cause the engine to overheat, damaging its internal parts and even leading to complete engine failure. If the car's radiator is out of water, you must stop driving immediately. Continuing to drive without water in the radiator will cause the engine temperature to rise excessively, preventing normal oil film formation between parts. In mild cases, this can cause cylinder scuffing or bearing damage, while severe cases can result in total engine failure or even complete destruction. 2. Cylinder: The temperature inside the cylinder will rise rapidly. If the excess heat is not dissipated promptly and high-load driving continues, the strength of components such as pistons, piston rings, and connecting rods will decrease, potentially leading to deformation. These parts may no longer withstand normal loads, and the normal gaps between components will be disrupted, preventing proper oil film formation. Mild cases can cause cylinder scuffing or bearing damage, while severe cases can lead to complete engine failure or destruction.
