Currently, they are mainly used in buses or some city buses, known as gas-electric vehicles. Dual-fuel electric vehicles are a new type of eco-friendly cars that use natural gas as the engine's energy source, combined with an electric motor to jointly drive the vehicle. It serves as an alternative energy source to gasoline and is now widely used worldwide. According to relevant test data, compared to equivalent conventional buses, new energy gas-electric hybrid buses can reduce pollutant emissions by over 60%, save about 15%-20% in energy consumption per 100 kilometers, reduce fuel consumption by more than 30%, and lower total carbon emissions by over 30%. However, the mainstream development currently is not focused on gas-electric hybrid vehicles but primarily on oil-electric hybrids and pure electric vehicles. After combustion, natural gas in electric vehicles turns into water vapor, causing less air pollution, but with lower power output. The calorific value of natural gas-air mixture is lower than that of gasoline (natural gas/air mixture has a calorific value of 3.36MJ/m3, while gasoline/air mixture has 3.82MJ/m3). With less intake (air) volume and a smaller molecular change coefficient, the power performance is reduced by about 20%.

Is a 3-month maintenance mandatory for new cars?

New cars require maintenance after 3 months. The first maintenance for a new car is typically recommended within 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. Precautions during the break-in period of a new car include: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It's best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers. 2. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full capacity during the break-in period can damage components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. Avoid long-distance driving: Long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous operation time of the engine, which can easily lead to component wear.

Is Mobil Super 2000 a Fully Synthetic Lubricant?

Mobil Super 2000 is not a fully synthetic lubricant, but a semi-synthetic one. The functions of lubricating oil are: 1. As a lubricant, it reduces friction and wear between moving parts; 2. As a coolant, it absorbs heat generated in the engine combustion chamber and piston crown, cooling the engine and protecting it from overheating; 3. As a sealant, it fills the gap between piston rings and cylinder liners to prevent combustion pressure leakage. The oil change procedure is: 1. Remove the drain plug to discharge used oil; 2. Remove the oil filter; 3. Clean the filter housing and replace the oil filter element; 4. Add engine lubricating oil; 5. Check for any oil leaks.

Is the Wuling Hongguang mini charged at 10A or 16A?

Wuling Hongguang mini is charged at 10A. The correct way to unplug the charging gun: First, turn off the charging gun. Some charging guns will be powered off by swiping a card, scanning a barcode, entering a password, or unplugging the power. After powering off, please wait a moment before pulling the charging gun out of the car's socket. Precautions for charging: Before charging, make sure the car is in good condition and the charging equipment is functioning properly. After charging starts, confirm that the voltage and current are within the normal range before leaving the site. If possible, check the charging status regularly to ensure it is normal.

Does the Auto Start-Stop Function Harm the Engine?

Auto start-stop function has a certain impact on the engine, but the impact is very minimal and does not affect the engine's service life. When car manufacturers produce engines with auto start-stop, the designed lifespan of the auto start-stop function is 500,000 cycles. Even if it starts 100 times a day, it would take about 17 to 18 years to reach that limit. The real significant impact on the engine occurs during cold starts, when the oil circuit and engine oil are circulating. Auto start-stop involves hot starts, where the engine already has oil lubrication. Therefore, even frequent start-stops cause minimal wear to the engine. The start-stop function only stops the engine from working, but the oil system continues to operate, ensuring better lubrication when the car starts again, which also helps protect the engine.
