How to Start an Electric Car?
3 Answers
Sit on the seat, hold the handlebars with both hands, look straight ahead at the front of the car, keep both feet on the ground to stabilize the electric car, and align the handlebars straight. If the electric car is key-started, simply insert the key and turn it clockwise until the LCD dashboard lights up. If it's a push-button start, press the START button once. If there is a P gear, press it and release the handbrake. After starting, ensure it's in low gear, then slowly rotate the throttle with your right hand. The electric car will begin to move forward slowly, at which point you can place both feet on the footrests.
As a former gasoline car owner, I noticed a big difference in starting the car when I first switched to an electric vehicle. Previously, gasoline cars required turning the key to ignite the roaring engine, while electric vehicles are much quieter, almost silent. The standard procedure is to bring the key card or key fob, sit in the driver's seat, press the brake pedal, and then press the start button on the center console. When the dashboard lights up, it means the car is activated and ready to drive. If the key battery is dead, some cars have a backup slot where you can insert the card to start. Mobile apps like Tesla's allow you to remotely preheat the car and adjust the air conditioning. Don't forget to turn off the power promptly after parking to avoid draining the auxiliary battery, and regularly check the main battery health during maintenance. Overall, the transition is simple and hassle-free, unlike the old cars which were more troublesome.
At my age, I prefer something simple and safe for driving, and electric vehicles fit the bill perfectly. The operation process is straightforward with minimal steps: take the key, sit in the car, press the brake pedal firmly for safety, then press the start button to wake the car up. The dashboard displays information indicating the power system is running normally, and the absence of the roaring gasoline engine makes it very quiet. Before starting, remember to check if the car has enough battery left. If the key battery is weak, it might not work, but most cars have a hidden slot for emergency card insertion. I find this more convenient than traditional cars, reducing the risk of misoperation, especially for the elderly. Always remember to turn it off when parked to avoid wasting electricity.
