ESC/ABS malfunction refers to faults in the vehicle's Electronic Stability Control system and Anti-lock Braking System. Here are the relevant details: Electronic Stability Control (ESC): This system significantly enhances vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. When the vehicle needs to avoid obstacles or make sharp turns during driving, it can quickly detect the situation and take appropriate braking measures. It applies individual braking to each wheel, allowing independent control of each wheel while reducing engine power output to maintain vehicle stability. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): This is a vehicle safety control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock features. When operational, ABS can achieve over 90% braking efficiency while also reducing brake wear and extending the service life of the braking system.

Do Electric Vehicles Have Engines?

Electric vehicles do not have engines, but they are equipped with electric motors. Electric vehicles operate through a system that includes storage batteries, electric current, power regulators, electric motors, power transmission systems, and driving mechanisms to propel the vehicle. From this operational process, it is evident that pure electric vehicles are directly driven by motors that turn the wheels, meaning the vehicle can move as long as there is electricity. Electric vehicles fall under the category of new energy vehicles, which include pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles. An electric motor primarily consists of a stator and a rotor. The direction of movement of the energized conductor in a magnetic field is related to the direction of the current and the magnetic field lines. The working principle of the motor is based on the force exerted by the magnetic field on the current, causing the motor to rotate.
