What are the emergency methods when a pure electric vehicle runs out of power?

Pure electric vehicles, also known as new energy vehicles, have several emergency methods when they run out of power: push-starting, jump-starting, towing-starting, and towing services. After using the battery for more than a year, you can press the horn before starting the car. If the horn sound is not as loud as before, it indicates that the battery is almost out of power, allowing for early prevention. You can also check by turning on the headlights. If the light is bright white, the battery is normal; if the light is dim red, it indicates insufficient power. Push-starting: This method should not be used frequently, as it can cause damage to some parts of the car. Automatic transmission vehicles should never use this method. Jump-starting: If you encounter this situation and have another vehicle with you, you can use power cables to jump-start the car. Specifically, during 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 the other vehicle must also be a pure electric vehicle. Only cables with sufficient load capacity and insulated outer sheaths should be used. Towing-starting: If the driver encounters a situation where the pure electric vehicle runs out of power while driving, they can seek help from another vehicle to start it. For example, the vehicle can be pulled with the help of another car through towing, but both must be pure electric vehicles, and the driver needs to be cautious. Towing service: If there are no other vehicles available for assistance and you are concerned about the potential damage from push-starting, you can call for a towing service to have the vehicle towed promptly. In daily life, regular maintenance of new energy vehicles should be performed. Every once in a while, the new energy vehicle needs to be driven. If it is left unused for a long time, the battery may remain in a state of insufficient charge for an extended period, reducing the battery's quality and shortening its lifespan, which is detrimental to the normal operation of the vehicle.
