New energy vehicle charging piles are safe for charging during rainy weather. Here is relevant information: Principle: Generally speaking, national standards stipulate that outdoor charging piles must meet IP54 protection level. The construction of outdoor charging piles must strictly comply with fire protection and lightning protection safety acceptance standards for charging piles. Moreover, charging piles must be designed with internal leakage protection switches. Therefore, new energy vehicle charging piles are safe for charging during rainy weather. Precautions: After inserting the charging gun and starting the charge, check the control screen on the charging pile to see whether charging has begun. If not, check if it is due to contact issues causing a stop. If it is a connection problem, simply plug and unplug the charging gun slightly again. New energy vehicle charging piles are safe for charging during rainy weather. The interface design meets IPx6-IPx7 (IPX is an internationally recognized waterproof rating certification system. It is commonly used to indicate the waterproof level of products in outdoor, underwater, and many other equipment applications, making it the most common technical indicator.) waterproof rating. This means that splashes or even heavy rain will not damage the components. Only when a large amount of water enters the charging interface, preventing the charging gun and charging port from making full contact and thus failing to charge, or when the charging pile causes a power trip, will there be issues. However, these situations do not pose any harm to personnel.

Based on the vehicle's guiding mechanism, they can be classified into independent suspension systems and non-independent suspension systems. The suspension system is the general term for all force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle's frame and the axle or wheels, consisting of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, shock absorbers, buffer blocks, and lateral stabilizer bars. The functions of the suspension system are: 1. To transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame; 2. To buffer the impact forces and vibrations transmitted from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body; 3. To ensure the wheels move within a fixed angle, maintaining stable steering; 4.

Can Vehicle Inspection Be Conducted on Saturdays and Sundays?

Vehicle inspection cannot be conducted on Saturdays and Sundays as the vehicle management offices are closed on weekends. Generally, the working hours of vehicle management offices are from Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM (excluding statutory holidays). The vehicle inspection cycle is calculated from the date of vehicle registration, and the next inspection date will be clearly noted on the supplementary page of the driving license. Applications for inspection can be submitted within three months prior to the annual inspection date. Additionally, the 6-year exemption for new vehicles does not mean exemption from annual inspection; it refers to the exemption from the on-site inspection process at the testing station. Safety technical inspection schedule: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once every year; and after 15 years, twice every year. Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months. Vehicle annual inspection time: The annual inspection time is determined based on the date of vehicle registration. For example, if the initial registration date on the driving license is June 2007, the annual inspection will be due every June. According to Article 40 of the newly revised "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," the vehicle owner can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office within three months before the expiration of the inspection validity period. This means that vehicles due for inspection in June can undergo the inspection in April, May, or June.
