What Are the Emergency Methods for a New Energy Vehicle Running Out of Power?
2 Answers
There are three emergency methods for a new energy vehicle running out of power: push-starting, jump-starting, and tow-starting. After using the battery for more than a year, you can press the horn before starting the vehicle. If the horn sounds less loud than before, it indicates that the battery is about to run out. Check by turning on the headlights. If the light is bright white, the battery is normal; if the light is dim red, it means the power is insufficient. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Push-starting: This is a last-resort method and should not be used frequently, as it can cause damage to some parts of the car. Automatic transmission vehicles should never use this method. 2. Jump-starting: If there is another vehicle available, you can use the battery jump-start method to start the car. During the operation, the two vehicles need to be brought close together until the jumper cables can connect the positive and negative terminals of both batteries. It is important to ensure that the two vehicles do not touch each other and only use cables with sufficient load-bearing capacity and insulated outer sheaths. 3. Tow-starting: The method and principle of tow-starting are similar to push-starting, but towing is more effortless and convenient. Before towing, the drivers of both vehicles must agree on communication signals in advance.
I've been driving a new energy vehicle for many years. Last time on a business trip, I forgot to charge before hitting the highway and got stranded midway due to a dead battery. I immediately pulled over to a safe area, turned on the hazard lights to avoid secondary accidents. Then I used my phone to open the manufacturer's app and contacted their roadside assistance service. They arrived within half an hour with a portable charger which was a huge help. After this incident, I've learned that prevention is better than emergency response. Now I make it a habit to check battery levels before every trip and charge immediately if it's below 30%. For long journeys, I plan charging stops in advance and preset preferred charging stations in the car's navigation system. I've also invested in a portable emergency power bank that stays in the trunk - it's a compact device that can connect to public sockets for temporary top-ups. I'm also mindful of weather impacts, especially in winter when heating drains the battery faster, so I always leave extra margin.
