It may be due to wet spark plugs or some electrical components. Here are the relevant details: 1. Spark Plug: A crucial component in a gasoline engine's ignition system, it introduces high voltage into the combustion chamber and creates a spark across the electrode gap to ignite the air-fuel mixture. It mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and housing, with the side electrode welded to the housing. 2. Engine: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term engine can refer to either the power generation device or the entire machine including the power unit, with its original meaning referring to mechanical devices that generate power.

What is the service life of electric vehicles?

There are generally no national regulations regarding the service life of electric vehicles, so the service life of an electric vehicle depends on the lifespan of its battery. Generally, an electric vehicle can be used for 100,000 kilometers without any issues. Below is a detailed introduction to electric vehicles: 1. Concept: A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) refers to a vehicle that uses an on-board power source as its power, drives the wheels with an electric motor, and meets all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. It operates using electricity stored in the battery. When driving the car, sometimes 12 or 24 batteries are used, and sometimes more are needed. 2. Types: The types of electric vehicles include Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). 3. Power source: Provides electrical energy to the drive motor of the electric vehicle, and the motor converts the electrical energy from the power source into mechanical energy. The most widely used power source is the lead-acid battery, but with the development of electric vehicle technology, lead-acid batteries are gradually being replaced by other batteries due to their low energy density, slow charging speed, and short lifespan. The power sources currently under development mainly include sodium-sulfur batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, lithium batteries, fuel cells, and other new types of power sources.

Should the Steering Wheel Be Turned to the Full Lock Position?

It is not advisable to turn the steering wheel to the full lock position. When making a turn, if the steering wheel is turned to full lock, the pressure on the power steering pump can increase several times or even more. Continuously turning the steering wheel to full lock will shorten the lifespan of the power steering pump. Consciously avoiding turning the steering wheel to full lock and checking whether the vehicle is properly parked and the steering wheel is straightened after parking can help maintain the car's condition. If the steering wheel is not straightened, adjust it promptly to avoid damage to the vehicle. Methods to avoid turning the steering wheel to full lock: Remember the number of steering wheel turns When parking, you can judge whether the steering wheel is straightened based on the number of turns. While moving the vehicle, turn the steering wheel and remember the number of turns from full lock to the center position. Turning it back to the center position will straighten the steering wheel. For most family cars, the steering wheel can be turned from the center position to full lock in one and a half turns to the left or right, though some models may require more turns. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary, as this can also cause significant damage to the vehicle. Move the vehicle forward or backward after parking If you cannot remember the number of steering wheel turns, you can also judge whether the steering wheel is straightened by moving the vehicle forward or backward. After parking, moving a short distance forward or backward will help determine if the steering wheel is straightened, allowing for timely adjustments while moving. Check the tire direction If conditions permit when parking, you can stick your head out of the window to observe whether the tires are straightened. Observing while driving makes it easier to straighten the steering wheel.
