What are the precautions for new energy vehicles?
2 Answers
Precautions for new energy vehicles are: 1. Before driving, check whether the battery power is sufficient, whether the braking performance is good, whether the screws are loose, and any faults should be repaired and eliminated in time; 2. When parking, the power switch must be turned off, the key must be pulled out, the gear switch must be turned to the neutral position, and the handbrake must be pulled up; 3. When children play in the car, the key switch must be pulled out; 4. Charging should be carried out in a place where children cannot reach; 5. When repairing or replacing the charging fuse, the power plug must be unplugged; 6. When repairing or replacing the battery or electrical appliances, the main power switch must be turned off before operation; 7. Before driving a new energy vehicle, it is necessary to check whether the doors are closed tightly; 8. In case of fire caused by an accident or other reasons, the main power switch should be turned off immediately.
I switched to a new energy vehicle a few years ago, and it's quite convenient for daily use, but you need to pay attention to charging. Don't wait until the battery is empty to charge; it's best to plug in when there's still 20% or more left, as this extends the battery life. Look for reliable public charging stations, as home outlets can be used but are very slow—installing a home charging station is recommended. In winter, battery performance drops noticeably, and using the heater heavily can drain the range quickly; preheating the car before heading out helps save power. Economically, electricity is much cheaper than fuel, but insurance costs might be higher, so budget accordingly. When parking, don’t randomly occupy charging spots—it's basic etiquette to avoid complaints. Overall, planning your trips and charging stops in advance makes things much easier.
