EV in cars refers to hybrid electric vehicles. The main advantages of hybrid electric vehicles are as follows: 1. With hybrid power, the maximum power of the internal combustion engine can be determined based on the average required power. This allows the engine to operate under optimal conditions with low fuel consumption and minimal pollution. When additional power is needed and the internal combustion engine is insufficient, the battery can supplement it. When the load is light, the excess power can be used to charge the battery. Since the internal combustion engine can operate continuously and the battery can be constantly charged, the range is the same as that of a conventional car. 2. Energy recovery is very convenient. 3. In busy urban areas, the internal combustion engine can be shut down, allowing the vehicle to be driven solely by the battery, achieving "zero" emissions. 4. It addresses the challenges faced by pure electric vehicles. 5. It can utilize existing gas stations for refueling, eliminating the need for additional investment. 6. It helps maintain the battery in good working condition, preventing overcharging or over-discharging, thereby extending its lifespan and reducing costs.

What is the body weight of the new Mondeo?

The new Mondeo currently has 2 models on sale, with a total vehicle weight of 1592kg. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with dimensions of 4873*1852*1470mm (length*width*height). Among comparable models, the 2021 Teana 2.0L-XE has a total vehicle weight of 1456kg. In terms of power, the 2020 EcoBoost180 comes in Fashion and Luxury versions, equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). Both versions feature 4-cylinder engines arranged in a transverse layout, with front-engine, front-wheel drive configuration. For other configurations, some or all 2020 Mondeo models are equipped with features including driver/passenger airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, autonomous emergency braking/active safety system, driving assistance imaging, rear cross-traffic alert, power trunk with memory function, etc. It's worth noting that this generation of Mondeo is called Fusion in the US, while named Mondeo in Europe and China, making it a global model. Its internal Ford code is CD391, designated as MK5 in the series, though it's actually the fourth generation. This numbering discrepancy occurs because the first-generation facelift was designated MK2, causing subsequent generation names to be one number higher than their actual sequence.

Can a Corolla switch from 95 to 92 octane fuel?

A Corolla that has been using 95 octane fuel can switch to 92 octane. However, it is recommended to use up the remaining gasoline in the tank before refilling with 92 octane. Additionally, it is advisable to perform a fuel system cleaning and replace the fuel filter at around 30,000 kilometers. Compression Ratio: During the design phase of an automobile engine, the fuel octane rating is determined based on the compression ratio. The compression ratio is a crucial structural parameter of the engine, representing the ratio of the gas volume when the piston is at the bottom dead center (start of compression) to the gas volume when the piston is at the top dead center (end of compression). Compression Ratio Guide: Engines with a compression ratio between 7.5 and 8.0 should use 90-93 octane gasoline; those with a ratio between 8.0 and 8.5 should use 90-93 octane; a ratio between 8.5 and 9.0 requires 93-95 octane; and a ratio between 9.5 and 10.0 should use 95-97 octane. These specifications are clearly detailed in every vehicle's manual, so it is essential to read the manual carefully when you purchase a new car.

Audi A6 Reports Control Difference in Throttle Control Unit?

Audi A6 sedan's electronic throttle control (EPC) system mainly consists of an accelerator pedal position sensor, throttle control unit, engine electronic control unit, and EPC fault warning light. Throttle control unit not matched: This situation occurs due to throttle contamination, throttle damage, or throttle-related circuit faults. It is recommended to go to a 4S shop for maintenance and inspection. You can try to match the throttle. When all indicators on the Audi A6L dashboard are lit, shift into first gear, then wait for 20 seconds, press the accelerator pedal to the floor, hold for about 10 seconds, release the accelerator, turn off the ignition switch, and remove the key. What is a throttle: The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates air entering the engine. After the gas enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is known as the throat of the car engine. How quickly the throttle gets dirty depends on the quality of the air filter, the brand and quality of the engine oil used, the condition of the driving route, air temperature conditions, engine operating temperature, driving habits, and many other factors. Even for an individual car, it is not possible to determine the throttle cleaning interval based on a fixed mileage. The first throttle cleaning interval for a new car is the longest, but due to the continuous condensation of oil and gas in the crankcase ventilation pipe and intake tract, the cleaning frequency will increase. Additionally, different weather conditions can also affect the speed at which the throttle gets dirty.
