What are the gears of a pure electric vehicle?

2 Answers

Pure electric vehicles have 3 gears, which are: 1. P gear: Parking gear, used for long-term parking, especially when parking on slopes. It needs to be shifted to P gear to ensure the vehicle cannot move when stationary. 2. D gear: Driving gear, when preparing to start moving, simply continue to press the accelerator according to your desired speed. Since the D gear of an automatic transmission vehicle does not have the engine braking function, do not keep it in D gear all the time, otherwise the speed will become faster and faster, and frequent braking will cause the brake pads to overheat and wear excessively. 3. S gear: Sport mode, the transmission can shift freely. However, using S gear will increase fuel consumption.

I've driven various pure electric vehicles, and the gear design is super straightforward. Common ones include P (Park) to prevent rolling when parked, R (Reverse) for backing up, N (Neutral) used during towing, and D (Drive) for forward propulsion. Many cars also come with a B mode to enhance regenerative braking, allowing more energy to be recovered into the battery each time you brake, saving power and being eco-friendly. Compared to my old gasoline car, EVs eliminate the hassle of operating a complex transmission—just a knob or lever handles everything, delivering smooth driving without any jerky shifts. The B mode is especially useful on long descents, reducing brake pad wear and boosting range by dozens of kilometers. This design by automakers matches the high-torque characteristics of electric motors, enabling instant acceleration from zero speed without gear-shifting interruptions. On long trips, combining D and B modes makes for simple and safe control. This streamlined layout helps both beginners and veterans adapt quickly, minimizing the risk of mishandling.

How many kilometers should a new car run before driving at high speed?

It can be done after driving 5,000 kilometers. Reason: During the break-in period of a new car, high-speed driving above 90 km/h should be avoided. When the new car has driven about 5,000 kilometers and is about to complete the break-in period, the owner can appropriately let the engine run briefly above 4,000 RPM to achieve the effect of reducing carbon deposits and improving engine performance. Other break-in matters for new cars: New cars should avoid driving at full load during the break-in period: Because excessive load will increase the load on the engine and transmission, causing the engine's output power to be too large and resulting in excessive wear of mechanical parts. Therefore, the owner should understand the maximum load capacity of the car and avoid driving at full load during the break-in period to extend its service life. Avoid prolonged use of low gears: The owner should pay attention to avoiding prolonged use of low gears and should intentionally allow each gear to be broken in. For automatic transmission models, although the manual gear shifting break-in process is eliminated, under good road conditions, the owner should continuously accelerate to allow the transmission to shift up smoothly, avoiding the lack of break-in process for high gears.

How to play music via USB in Trumpchi GS8?

First, locate the USB port below the center console, insert a USB flash drive containing music into the USB port, and follow the on-screen instructions to play music. The USB port in the car serves as an expansion interface, allowing connection to various external electrical devices. The functions of the car's USB port include: 1. Playing music from a USB flash drive. 2. Charging mobile phones. 3. USB car cigarette lighter. 4. Car vacuum cleaner. 5. Electronic dog and dash cam. However, avoid using high-power electrical devices as excessive load may damage the battery and alternator, which is not worth the risk. This might result in situations where, despite using the USB for charging, the battery level drops instead of rising. Some car owners may initially get used to charging while navigating, but the car's USB port is primarily designed for data transfer. Although it appears to be charging, the current is actually very low, meaning the power consumed by playing music or navigating exceeds the power being charged.

What brand is the car logo with a 'T'?

A logo with a 'T' represents Tesla. Here are the relevant details: 1. Tesla is an American electric vehicle and clean energy company that manufactures and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage devices. Headquartered in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, California, USA, it was initially founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. 2. Meaning of the logo: In recent years, Tesla's T-shaped logo has become widely recognized. However, it turns out that this simple emblem is not only the abbreviation of inventor Tesla's name but also carries deeper significance. Tesla CEO Elon Musk explained on his Twitter that this stylized 'T' is also a hint about the company's products, stating that the T-shaped logo represents the cross-section of an electric motor. 3. The main part of the letter 'T' symbolizes a section of the motor's rotor, while the top second line represents part of the outer stator. In terms of logo design, Tesla shares similarities with SpaceX. SpaceX is another bold venture by Musk, dedicated to building rockets and sending payloads into space orbit.

What causes the abnormal noise when starting the car?

This squeaking noise is caused by belt slippage, which may be due to insufficient tension from the tensioner pulley or the belt being stretched and loose from prolonged use. Adjusting the tension should resolve this issue. Additionally, a clicking or grinding noise during the initial moment of starting the car could indicate gear engagement issues. Below is relevant information about ignition systems: Traditional Ignition: The mechanical ignition system operates by the crankshaft driving the distributor shaft, which rotates a cam to open and close the primary contacts of the ignition coil, generating high voltage. This high-voltage current is then distributed by the rotor in the distributor to each cylinder's spark plug in the required sequence, where the spark ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. The distributor housing can be manually rotated to adjust the basic ignition timing (idle timing), and it also includes a vacuum advance mechanism that adjusts timing based on intake manifold vacuum levels. Electronic Ignition: Electronic ignition systems differ completely from mechanical systems, incorporating an electronic control unit that contains ignition timing maps (MAP) for various engine operating conditions. Sensors such as engine speed, intake manifold vacuum (engine load), throttle position, and crankshaft position determine the engine's state and reference the MAP to find the optimal ignition timing. The system then adjusts this timing based on knock sensor feedback to ensure the engine operates at its most efficient ignition point.

What are the speed limit regulations for urban roads?

Urban roads are divided into ordinary urban roads and urban expressways. Ordinary urban roads typically have speed limits of 30-60 km/h, while expressways usually have speed limits of 80 km/h. The specific speed limits are subject to the road speed limit signs. Upcoming speeding penalty regulations: According to the new announcement from the Ministry of Public Security, the new traffic regulations will be implemented on April 1, 2022. The new regulations stipulate that exceeding the speed limit by less than 20% will not result in point deductions. Exceeding the speed limit by 20%-50% will result in 6 points deducted on highways and urban roads, and 3 points deducted on ordinary roads. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% will result in 12 points deducted on highways and urban roads, and 6 points deducted on ordinary roads. Dangers of speeding: When driving at high speeds, vehicles are often in a state of accelerating to follow or overtake other vehicles. Due to the close following distance, the driver's view is inevitably obstructed, leading to unclear observation and inaccurate judgment of the situation ahead, resulting in high levels of blind driving. Moreover, speeding significantly impairs the driver's vision, and the higher the speed, the more severe the vision impairment, making accidents highly likely.
