How to Start an Electric Car?
2 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.
