What are the reasons for an electric car not starting despite being fully charged?
2 Answers
It could be due to battery issues, motor failure, brake power cut-off, or throttle damage. Below are the reasons and solutions for an electric car not starting despite being fully charged: Battery issues: Solution: Check if the battery output is normal. If the output is too low, it indicates a faulty battery that needs immediate replacement. Motor failure: Solution: Inspect the motor condition. Poor contact of the motor carbon brushes can also cause the car to have power but not start. Brake power cut-off: Solution: Disconnect the brake line. If the car moves, it proves the brake lever is damaged and needs replacement. Throttle damage: Solution: If the car moves, it indicates a faulty throttle that requires immediate replacement or repair. Turn on the power and twist the throttle while using a multimeter to measure the positive wire and signal wire.
I've been driving an electric car for several years and found that situations where it shows a full charge but won't move are quite common, often due to software issues. For example, a minor bug in the car's system might cause inaccurate battery data updates. Try a simple restart: park, lock the car for a few minutes, then unlock and start it to see if it recovers. If that doesn't work, it might be a high-voltage circuit failure, such as a stuck relay not supplying power to the motor. Don't panic, and avoid repeatedly trying to start it to prevent further complications. It's best to visit a 4S shop to scan for error codes and diagnose the issue. Regular updates to the car's software during daily use can reduce such problems. An experienced owner's advice: safety first.
