Introduction to charging methods for the Benben EV: There are several charging methods available: wall-mounted charging stations, public charging stations, and portable chargers included with the vehicle. It is also possible to charge using a standard 220V household power supply, which may take around 11 hours for a full charge. Professional charging stations, on the other hand, can typically charge the vehicle in about half an hour. There are three main charging methods for new energy vehicles: public charging stations, home charging stations, and portable charging. Below are detailed introductions to each method: 1. Public charging stations: Public charging stations generally offer fast charging (DC) and slow charging (AC). As the names suggest, fast charging provides more power in a shorter time, while slow charging delivers less power and takes longer. Public charging stations are more common in first-tier cities, whereas they are relatively scarce in third- and fourth-tier cities, making charging less convenient. The availability of public charging stations may vary by city, so it is advisable to check the local situation. 2. Home charging stations: To use this method, a charging station must be installed at home. Installation requires coordination with the property management to ensure compliance with community regulations. After obtaining approval from the property management, further permissions from the fire department and civil defense office are necessary, followed by an on-site inspection by the power supply department. 3. Portable charging: Portable charging involves using the portable charging cable provided with the vehicle to connect to a standard household power outlet. The advantage of this method is convenience, as charging can be done wherever there is an outlet. However, the downside is the very slow charging speed. For example, charging a vehicle with a 57kWh battery and a 300km range can take nearly 20 hours for a full charge.

How to Distinguish Between National 5 and National 6 Vehicle Standards?

The differences between National 5 and National 6 vehicles are: 1. Different emission limits: The National 6a standard requires a carbon monoxide limit of 700 milligrams per kilometer, while the National 6b standard is only 500 milligrams per kilometer; the National 5 standard requires a carbon monoxide limit of 1000 milligrams per kilometer. 2. Different release dates: The National 6 standard was released on June 22, 2018; the National 5 standard was released on September 17, 2013. 3. Different issuing authorities: The National 6 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine; the National 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. 4. Different requirements: National 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning that regardless of the fuel type, the emission limits are the same; National 5, in its original phase, had different emission standards for diesel and gasoline engine models.

What License Plate is Required for Hybrid Vehicles?

Oil-electric hybrid vehicles are registered with the standard blue license plates for conventional motor vehicles, while plug-in hybrid vehicles fall under the category of new energy vehicles and require green license plates. The advantages of oil-electric hybrid vehicles are as follows: 1. Compared to conventional fuel-powered vehicles: The greatest advantage of oil-electric hybrid vehicles is fuel efficiency, which is a primary reason many consumers choose to purchase them. 2. Compared to plug-in hybrid vehicles: Oil-electric hybrid vehicles offer significantly longer driving ranges than plug-in hybrids, especially in areas where charging infrastructure is underdeveloped. This makes oil-electric hybrids more convenient to use and gives them a considerable advantage.

Where is the vehicle identification number for electric cars?

The so-called vehicle identification number (VIN) is the overall frame number of an electric vehicle, usually located below the front handlebars. For larger electric vehicles, you can find a long slot at the front, which is where the VIN is located. The VIN of an electric vehicle consists of 15 digits and letters, and it will not be duplicated within 30 years. An electric vehicle refers to a vehicle that uses on-board power as its energy source, drives the wheels with an electric motor, and meets all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. It is the direction of development for the current and future automotive market, with widely recognized prospects. However, due to the current immature technology, its popularity is not yet very high.

What should be paid attention to when accepting a new car?

When accepting a new car, the following aspects need attention: 1. Check the accompanying documents: including purchase invoice, vehicle certificate, three-guarantee service card, vehicle user manual, factory certificate/vehicle factory inspection sheet. Some vehicles have separate engine user manuals and spare keys, and some optional equipment may have specific requirements or regulations. In such cases, consumers should request relevant certificates from the dealer. 2. Inspect the appearance details: Some comprehensive dealers may take advantage of consumers' unfamiliarity with the models to sell low-end models as high-end ones for more profit. Therefore, consumers must be meticulous when inspecting the vehicle. Details are as follows: (1) Carefully check the paint color to ensure it is consistent all over the car. Look for scratches, peeling, cracks, bubbles, or rust on the body surface. Feel for any repair marks with your hand. If any part of the paint color or thickness does not match the surrounding areas or shows fine circular scratches, it may have been repainted after damage. (2) Examine the engine hood and roof at a 45-degree angle, as the paint effect on these surfaces best reflects the quality of the painting process and is most likely to reveal flaws. Any poorly treated layer of paint can easily cause wrinkles or bubbles. (3) Check the tire brand against the parameter sheet to ensure consistency, and look for obvious friction marks on the tire surface and tread. (4) New cars are allowed a certain mileage from the factory, generally within 100km is considered normal.

What Causes Difficulty in Shifting Gears in a Transmission?

Manual transmission shifting difficulties can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Synchronizer malfunction; 2. Bent shift fork shaft, excessively stiff locking spring, or damaged steel balls; 3. Damaged input shaft splines or a bent input shaft; 4. Insufficient or excessive gear oil, or gear oil that does not meet specifications. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device used to alter the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels. It enables the vehicle to achieve varying levels of traction and speed under different conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating, while also allowing the engine to operate within a more favorable range.

What are the precautions for driving in snow?

Here are the precautions for driving in snow: 1. Install snow chains before long-distance trips. After snowfall, clear the snow from the windshield, headlights, and mirrors before starting the car to ensure unobstructed visibility. Due to lower nighttime temperatures, windshield wipers often freeze. Do not activate the wipers to remove snow before the ice on the windshield melts, as the wiper motor may burn out. 2. Avoid wheel spin when starting. Gently press the accelerator after ignition to prevent wheel spin, which can cause the wheels to sink deeper. When starting on ice or compacted snow, use second gear if slipping occurs. Since snow and ice offer less resistance, less torque is needed compared to normal road conditions. 3. Adapt driving to different road conditions. Areas where other vehicles have passed on ice become smoother and have lower friction coefficients, so avoid other vehicles' tracks when possible for safety. Conversely, on snow-covered roads, follow other vehicles' tracks more often. 4. Maintain sufficient following distance. On icy or snow-covered roads, the friction coefficient between tires and the road is very small—only 0.1 on ice and 0.2 on snow—so braking distances are much longer than on dry roads. 5. Wear sunglasses and choose appropriate tires. Snow on roadside structures and the road surface causes diffuse reflection, which can lead to 'snow blindness' during prolonged driving. Sunglasses help reduce light intensity entering the eyes, minimize eye strain, and add a cool factor.
