What are the reasons for electric car lights flickering?
2 Answers
Electric car lights flickering can be caused by: deep discharge of the electric vehicle; charger malfunction; poor contact; or wiring faults in the electric vehicle itself. Deep discharge of the electric vehicle: You can charge it continuously for 12 hours. If that doesn't work, use a charger with the same voltage (20AH) to activate it, charging for 5 hours. Charger malfunction: If the electric car lights are flickering, it may be because the battery is not charging and lacks power. It should be sent to after-sales service for inspection and possibly replacing the charger. If the issue is with the battery, a 36V Giant battery may need to be replaced. Poor contact: It is recommended to check whether the internal wiring of the electric vehicle's headlights has poor contact. If confirmed, the internal wires can be replaced or reconnected. Wiring faults in the electric vehicle itself: If the lights start flickering when the power is connected but not yet plugged into the battery, it indicates a fault in the electric vehicle itself and should be sent to after-sales service for inspection.
I've been driving an electric car for a while now, and the flickering headlights have been a real headache. It's mainly caused by unstable power supply. If the 12V auxiliary battery in an electric vehicle is aging or not charging properly, causing voltage fluctuations, the bulbs are prone to flicker. Another issue could be with the circuitry, such as poor contact in the wiring harness on bumpy roads or loose connectors leading to inconsistent current transmission. There's also the possibility of minor faults in the control module, like delayed response due to burnt relay contacts, causing the lights to dim and brighten intermittently. I once experienced this during rainy weather when humidity was high, and the dampness accelerated corrosion in the wiring. It's advisable to first check if any fuses are blown, then perform a simple voltage test. If you don't have professional tools, it's safer to drive directly to a service center for diagnostics. After all, flickering lights at night can impair visibility, and delaying repairs might lead to accidents.
