What are the reasons why the Geely Zhidou D2 cannot charge?
2 Answers
The reasons why the Zhidou electric vehicle cannot charge may include battery damage, charging circuit failure, charger damage, or the charging plug not being properly connected. Strictly avoid storing with low battery: The battery must not be stored in a low battery state. A low battery state refers to the battery not being charged promptly after use. Storing the battery in a low battery state can easily lead to sulfation, where lead sulfate crystals adhere to the electrode plates, blocking the ion channels and resulting in insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. Preheat before departure: If the car's temperature is raised slightly before departure, it will enhance the vehicle's adaptability to the external environment, providing better protection for the battery. Consistently following this practice can extend the battery's lifespan.
I've been in auto repair for over a decade, and issues like the Zhidou D2 not charging are common. First, the most likely cause: a faulty charging port. This car's charging port is at the front, making it prone to dust and water ingress, leading to poor contact and charging failure. Next, the charging cable could be the issue, especially the one that comes with the car—its connectors often fail. Trying a different cable can quickly confirm this. It's also common for the charging station itself to lose power or have unstable voltage; testing the same station with another car can clarify this. Pay special attention to the small 12V battery—if it's drained, the entire charging system will shut down. Lastly, it might be a fault with the charger or battery management module; if a warning light with an exclamation mark appears on the dashboard, this is usually the culprit. If the cause remains elusive, using a diagnostic tool to read the fault codes is recommended.
