If the car has not been transferred, it still belongs to the original owner and has nothing to do with you. To handle insurance, the original owner must provide their ID card and vehicle license. You cannot handle it yourself. Precautions for transferring insurance are as follows: Location for transferring insurance: Generally, the place where you purchase insurance and the place for transferring insurance must be the same. If the vehicle insurance was purchased in another city or province, the local insurance company staff can assist the customer in contacting the relevant parties if all required documents are provided. Documents required for transferring insurance: ID cards of the original owner and the new owner, the new owner's driving license, vehicle registration certificate, compulsory insurance, and commercial insurance policy. Since commercial insurance is voluntarily purchased by the original owner and the ownership belongs to them, the original owner's ID card and their consent are required for the transfer of commercial insurance. Below is a detailed introduction to car insurance: Overview: Vehicle insurance, also known as motor vehicle insurance or auto insurance, refers to commercial insurance that covers personal injury, death, or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. Origin: Car insurance is a type of property insurance. In the field of property insurance, car insurance is relatively young, as it emerged and developed alongside the appearance and popularization of automobiles. Characteristics: Unlike modern motor vehicle insurance, early car insurance primarily focused on third-party liability insurance and gradually expanded to cover risks such as collision damage to the vehicle body.

Do electric vehicles require a driver's license in 2020?

As of 2020, electric vehicles do not require a driver's license. There has been no official notification as of July 6, 2020. However, based on past experiences with motorcycles and agricultural four-wheel vehicles, there have been periods when a driver's license was required, but due to weak enforcement, it was not widely implemented. In the future, electric vehicles may require a driver's license, as they now have license plates. Combining license plates with driver's licenses would make it easier to regulate the use of electric vehicles and gradually change driving habits, from wearing helmets to following traffic regulations for safe driving. When riding an electric vehicle, it is essential to adhere to traffic rules, especially avoiding running red lights and riding against traffic.

Is it serious if the antifreeze level is below min?

It is serious if the antifreeze level is below min, and antifreeze should be added promptly. In winter, it is essential to check the antifreeze level regularly. Simply open the hood to inspect the antifreeze reservoir, which is marked with max and min indicators, showing that the antifreeze level should be between these two marks. Insufficient antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat, leading to engine damage. If the antifreeze level is found to be below min, start the engine and let it idle for 2 to 3 minutes, then unscrew the radiator cap. At this point, as some air is expelled from the cooling system, the antifreeze level will drop further. Additional antifreeze should then be added until the level reaches the max mark.

How Long Should a Battery Be Charged?

When the battery of an electric vehicle is completely drained, it is recommended to charge it for approximately 7 to 8 hours. Around eight hours is sufficient to fully charge the battery without overcharging, which could lead to risks such as battery swelling or even explosion due to excessive charge. The number of charge and discharge cycles for an electric vehicle battery is limited. Normally, a battery can handle 300 to 500 cycles without issues, but exceeding 500 cycles may degrade the battery's quality and reduce its storage capacity. This is because the current reaction during charging and discharging can decrease the electrolyte inside, increasing resistance and reducing storage capacity, making the battery less durable over time. Therefore, it is perfectly fine to charge the battery only when it is out of power, as this helps minimize the number of charging cycles and maintain the battery's quality.
