What Does Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle Mean?

Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) is a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. Different from traditional hybrid vehicles that combine gasoline power and electric drive, the driving principle and drive unit of plug-in hybrid vehicles are no different from those of electric vehicles. The reason it is called a hybrid is because this type of vehicle is equipped with an engine that charges the battery. Here is some relevant information about plug-in hybrid vehicles: 1. The biggest selling point of plug-in hybrid models lies in their adaptability. First, in most regions except Beijing, they can be registered with special new energy license plates, avoiding traffic restrictions. They do not suffer from the 'range anxiety' of pure electric vehicles, and can even be used as ordinary gasoline vehicles without any major issues, making them clearly more advantageous than electric vehicles for long-distance travel. 2. Currently, there are more and more new models on the market that offer plug-in hybrid versions alongside conventional gasoline versions, providing a much wider range of purchasing options for PHVs compared to pure electric vehicles.

Preventing freezing and expansion damage to the radiator and engine cylinder block during cold weather; 2. Protecting metal components from corrosion and rubber parts from aging; 3.

Providing lubrication for the water pump, thermostat, and other components.

What three photos are needed for crossing the yellow line?

The three photos for crossing the yellow line are the instant violation photo, license plate recognition photo, and panoramic photo. Below are the specific introductions for each photo: 1. Instant violation photo: When the front wheels of the car pass over the induction coil of the solid line on the ground, the electronic eye automatic recognition system captures the line-crossing violation. Unlike capturing running a red light, which requires photos from the opposite intersection to count as three, capturing a line-crossing violation only needs three photos for evidence. 2. License plate recognition photo: When the car continues to drive over the solid line on the ground, and the vehicle body increasingly crosses the line. 3. Panoramic photo: When the car successfully changes lanes by crossing the solid line or continues to drive forward while crossing the line.

How to Use Lights When Driving in the Rain?

Turn on your lights under the following conditions when driving in the rain: 1. Heavy rain: Rainwater itself obstructs visibility, and water on the road surface can be kicked up by the tires of the vehicle in front, creating a mist that also significantly affects visibility. In such cases, you should turn on your headlights or front fog lights. Some worry that fog lights may dazzle the vehicle ahead, but if the fog lights are properly designed, this won't happen. Fog lights are not meant for illumination; their beams are scattered, making them bright but not dazzling. 2. Torrential rain: Rear fog lights should only be turned on during very heavy rain. The red taillights already have excellent penetration power, and ordinary heavy rain usually doesn't block their light. Rear fog lights are extremely bright and designed to cut through thick fog. Using them in normal rainy conditions can easily dazzle the driver behind, compromising safety if their visibility is affected.

What to Do If Zotye Stops Production of Parts?

If 'original parts' cannot be found, try buying 'aftermarket parts.' If even aftermarket parts are unavailable, then one can only seek parts overseas through various channels. However, the cost of car repairs will also increase. For example, for an old model Freelander (first generation), one can only purchase parts overseas and have them shipped back to the country, which can take over a month. Actually, so-called 'salvaged parts' generally refer to parts from vehicles that have been scrapped due to accidents. These parts are disassembled and sold if they are still usable. Salvaged parts are essentially second-hand parts. These second-hand parts are usually cheaper, but for some rare or unusual car models, one might have no choice but to use salvaged parts for repairs.

Is the Inspection Exemption Label Still Required to Be Displayed on Vehicles?

Exempted vehicles are not required to display the inspection label. I. Digitalization of Vehicle Inspection Labels: Following the implementation of electronic insurance policies, insurance companies will issue policyholders an 'electronic document in the form of data messages that serves as proof of the motor vehicle insurance contract relationship,' known as the electronic insurance policy. This serves as a digital replacement for paper insurance policies and endorsements, carrying the same legal validity. Subsequently, insurance companies will send download links for the electronic policy to the policyholder's registered mobile number and email address. II. Precautions During Annual Inspection: 1. The annual inspection includes an exhaust emission test to ensure compliance. 2. Vehicle owners should wash their cars thoroughly before the inspection. 3. The vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle's lighting systems.
