It's definitely better to park in a parking lot, but leaving it outside doesn't have much impact. Other winter car care tips: Check if the engine oil is sufficient. Engine oil plays a significant role in the normal operation of a car in winter. Before winter arrives, make sure to carefully check if the oil level is within the normal range on the dipstick. Also, see if your car needs an oil change, which can be done based on the mileage specified in the maintenance manual. Warming up the car: When driving in winter, it's not necessary to warm up the car while stationary. Instead, let the car warm up by driving slowly without accelerating. This is because engine oil becomes more viscous in winter and circulates more slowly. Warming up the car ensures that the oil and antifreeze are properly circulated, reducing wear and tear on the vehicle.

What are the policies for installing new energy vehicle charging piles?

Here is an introduction to the policies for installing new energy vehicle charging piles: 1. Industrial electricity usage: For centralized commercial charging and swapping facilities directly connected to the grid by enterprises operating AC/DC charging piles for electric vehicles, the industrial electricity price applies. Before 2020, the basic electricity fee for charging piles is temporarily waived. 2. Classification catalog: Charging piles are charged according to the classification catalog electricity price based on their location. Specifically, charging piles installed in residential homes, residential communities, and non-residential users that adopt residential electricity prices will be charged under the residential electricity price for combined-meter users. Charging piles installed in party and government offices, enterprises, institutions, and public parking lots will be charged under the "general industrial and commercial and other" category of electricity prices. 3. Time-of-use pricing: Charging piles are subject to time-of-use electricity pricing policies. Encouraging the use of charging piles during off-peak hours of the power system not only improves the efficiency of power system utilization but also helps control and reduce charging costs.
