Water-damaged cars may develop the following faults later: 1. Moldy interior: The most obvious and superficial issue with water-damaged cars is that the interior is highly prone to mold growth. If car components are not promptly cleaned and dried, mildew spots will appear on fabric and leather surfaces, which not only affects appearance but also easily causes odors and increases environmental bacteria. 2. Engine damage: If the engine has been flooded with water, forcibly starting the car can cause severe deformation of the connecting rods. Moreover, insurance companies often refuse claims in such cases. 3. Transmission failure: Unlike the engine, transmissions are designed with many vent holes to relieve pressure from temperature changes during manufacturing, resulting in extremely poor sealing. Once water enters the transmission, the vehicle may experience issues like slipping, shaking, and jerky gear shifts, potentially affecting the transmission's lifespan or even leading to complete failure.

"New National Standard": "New National Standard" electric vehicles will increasingly adopt all-aluminum body structures, offering higher strength and lighter weight, while still maintaining over 75 kilograms of effective load capacity, ensuring a practical range of more than 50 kilometers on a single charge. For new lithium battery electric bicycles, the overall vehicle weight will be controlled between 32-38 kilograms. Even for lithium battery light electric vehicles, the weight will be kept within 40-48 kilograms, with improvements in both load practicality and range.
