Pure electric vehicle maintenance items include: 1. Inspection of the braking system, air conditioning system, charging system, and chassis components. 2. Body inspection. Conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle. If any damage, scratches, or exposed paint are found on the body surface, repainting should be done promptly. 3. Power battery system inspection to check if the battery power supply is functioning normally. 4. Cooling system inspection. Check the sealing of the cooling system, the tightness of the fan belt, the sensitivity of the thermostat, and the condition of the cooling water temperature. 5. Steering system inspection. Check the steering control force, steering wheel return, and whether the oil pump pressure is normal.

Speaking of maintenance for pure electric vehicles, as a daily commuter, I find it quite hassle-free. First and foremost, the battery is crucial—it requires regular health checks, including voltage and cooling system inspections, to prevent overheating and extend its lifespan. Tires are equally important; due to the unique weight distribution of EVs, rotating them and maintaining balanced tire pressure ensures even wear. The braking system, which includes regenerative braking components, needs attention too—electronic parts and physical brake pads should be inspected. Though wear is minimal, safety comes first. The air conditioning system also demands upkeep, especially the heating function, as it aids in battery temperature regulation. A unique aspect is software updates; periodic visits to the service center for upgrades can enhance range and performance. Routine checks like lights and wipers are standard. Overall, it’s far simpler than maintaining a gasoline car—no oil changes mean savings and eco-friendliness—but I still schedule a professional check every 5,000 kilometers.

In my view, the key focus of pure electric vehicle maintenance lies in the battery and electrical systems. The battery pack requires monitoring for degradation, such as capacity decline trends, as well as checking for sufficient coolant levels and leakage risks. The motor section should not be neglected, with inspections of lubrication and insulation conditions to ensure smooth operation. Control system software updates are essential, optimizing charging efficiency and power consumption management to extend driving range. Tire maintenance is also crucial, involving regular checks on air pressure and tread depth to prevent blowout risks. Additionally, replacing the cabin air filter improves in-vehicle air quality. The maintenance cycle is longer, averaging once a year, with costs lower than traditional vehicles, but diligent attention to details is necessary to prolong the overall vehicle lifespan.

Is Vehicle Archiving Manual or Automatic?

Vehicle archiving is a manual process that can be completed either at designated locations or online. Processing at Designated Locations: Vehicle archiving refers to the transfer of ownership of a registered motor vehicle. The new owner must submit relevant documents and have the vehicle inspected at a designated location within 30 days of delivery to complete the transfer registration. The vehicle archiving process takes 3 working days. When processing transfer registration, if the new owner is an organization whose address falls outside the jurisdiction of the local vehicle management office, they may submit a copy of the organization's code certificate, a power of attorney with the organization's official seal, and the authorized representative's identity proof as the vehicle owner's identification. Online Processing: If the vehicle is successfully registered on the Traffic Management 12123 platform, it is considered archived. Online processing is now available, but you must download the Traffic Management 12123 app. After the vehicle is registered, it will appear in your personal account on the app. If it doesn't appear, you can add it manually. Archiving refers to services processed at the vehicle management office (including replacing the registration certificate, reissuing the vehicle license, releasing a mortgage, reissuing license plates, vehicle inspections, etc.). Completing these services is only the first step; the vehicle management office must also archive the service in their system, which takes three working days. Only after archiving is the service considered complete. If not archived, a prompt indicating pending services will appear when attempting to process subsequent services, preventing vehicle transfer procedures.

What is Parking Diesel Heater E01?

Parking diesel heater E01 is a fault code. Causes include system pressure being too low or control circuit damage. System pressure too low: When the pressure value falls below the normal range, a fault code will appear. This can lead to operational failures of the heater, requiring prompt inspection and repair at an automotive repair shop. Control circuit damage: For a vehicle's parking heater, indicator light flashing indicates control circuit issues, which may cause heater malfunctions. The heater utilizes the vehicle's battery and fuel tank for instant power supply and minimal fuel supply, generating heat through gasoline combustion to warm the engine's circulating water for hot starts while also heating the cabin. After using the car heater, the preheated engine experiences significantly reduced wear. Starting a car at extremely low temperatures causes substantial engine damage, so the heater's preheating function effectively minimizes wear.

Are Car Tire Sizes the Same?

Most car tire model markings appear as 175/70R1477H, where 175 represents the tire width of 175mm, 70 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 70%, R stands for radial tire, the tire diameter is 14 inches, the load index is 77, and the permissible speed rating is H. The international standard car tire code expresses the section width and aspect ratio percentage in millimeters. This is followed by the tire type code, rim diameter (in inches), and load index (permissible load capacity code). Tire sizes are printed on the sidewall and can be represented in two ways, such as 34*7 or 7.50-20. The former denotes high-pressure tires, while the latter indicates low-pressure tires. Additionally, many other markings are printed on the sidewall, for example, D is used for light vehicles, F for medium vehicles, G for standard vehicles, and H, L, J for large luxury and high-performance vehicles.

Under What Conditions Do Cars Emit the Most Carbon Monoxide?

Cars emit the most carbon monoxide when the engine is running while the vehicle is stationary. The combustion chamber of a car engine is more prone to producing carbon monoxide when operating at high temperatures. When idling with the engine running, the combustion process does not perform work, leading to an increase in the temperature of the combustion chamber and consequently more carbon monoxide production. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning it in a sealed cylinder, expanding the gas, and pushing the piston to perform work. Methods for engine maintenance include: 1. Using qualified engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant and antifreeze; 3. Regularly cleaning the radiator scale; 4. Regularly removing engine carbon deposits; 5. Regularly replacing the car's three filters; 6. Maintaining a reasonable engine speed.

How to Identify the Year from a Vehicle's VIN?

To determine the production year from a vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), look at the 10th character of the VIN, which indicates the year of manufacture. Note that the specific production month cannot be identified from the VIN. The year may be represented by either a digit or a letter, following a 30-year cycle that excludes the letter 'O' and the number '10'. The VIN consists of 17 characters, each with specific meanings: 1. The first three characters denote the country of manufacture, the manufacturer, and the vehicle type. 2. Characters 4 through 8 represent vehicle features such as model, body type, engine type, and gross vehicle weight rating. 3. The 9th character is a check digit used to verify the VIN's accuracy. 4. The 11th character indicates the assembly plant location. 5. Characters 12 through 17 are the production sequence number.
