Range-extended electric vehicle is a type of pure electric-driven vehicle (including electric cars, electric bicycles, and electric motorcycles) equipped with both ground charging and on-board power supply functions. Its powertrain consists of a power battery system, power drive system, vehicle control system, and auxiliary power unit (APU). Characteristics of range-extended electric vehicles: When the battery has sufficient charge, the power battery drives the motor to meet the vehicle's driving power demand, with the engine not engaged in operation. When the battery charge depletes to a certain level, the engine starts to provide energy to charge the power battery. Once the battery is sufficiently charged again, the engine stops working, and the battery resumes driving the motor to power the vehicle.

Can the wheel size of a vehicle be modified?

If the modification of the wheel hubs is not approved by the traffic management department in advance, it is illegal and the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. The size of the car's wheel hubs cannot be modified. Doing so is illegal, and if caught on the road, you may face fines and vehicle seizure. Vehicles cannot be altered arbitrarily, and it is advised not to change the wheel hub size. Modifying the wheel hub size can lead to decreased power, reduced vibration absorption, increased fuel consumption, and is also illegal. Therefore, it is best not to make such changes. If you wish to change the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of the vehicle, or replace the frame, body, or engine, the owner must apply to the vehicle management office for a modification registration.

What is the general tire pressure for a spare tire?

According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for a spare tire is 2.4-2.5 bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted slightly higher by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure of the car tires. In summer, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "beep" sound, release the button. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to turn on. In this case, simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Why is there no response when shifting to reverse gear with the reversing camera?

The lack of response when shifting to reverse gear with the reversing camera may be due to a damaged switch or a circuit malfunction in the reversing camera. Below is an introduction to the reversing camera: Advantages: Easy installation: Generally, a standard single-output reversing camera only requires connecting the positive power wire to the positive terminal of the car's reverse light power and the negative power wire to the negative terminal of the reverse light or to the ground (GND). The wiring can be easily understood by studying the vehicle model, and the camera can be installed by drilling a hole in a convenient location. Clear visibility: After shifting to reverse gear, the real-time image of the rear of the vehicle is clearly displayed, making it easier for the driver to judge. Function: Even at night, the infrared feature ensures clear visibility. The professional car probe has improved anti-magnetic, anti-shock, waterproof, and dustproof performance. The car display uses TFT true color and is magnetically treated to avoid signal interference and flickering.

How to Unlock a Locked Driver's License?

In daily life, we may encounter situations where our driver's license gets locked. Below are detailed solutions: Cases where unlocking is possible: If the driver's license was revoked less than two years ago, or if the driver is over 60 years old and fails to submit a physical condition certificate within one year after the end of a scoring cycle; or if the driver holds a license for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, and fails to submit a physical condition certificate within one year after the end of two scoring cycles; or if the driver holds a license for small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled and fails to submit a physical condition certificate within one year after the end of three scoring cycles. After passing the subject one test (traffic laws and regulations), the driver's license can be unlocked, and driving privileges can be restored. Cases where unlocking is not possible : For other situations where the driver's license was revoked, unlocking is not an option. The driver must reapply, undergo training, and pass all subjects to obtain a new driver's license.

What is the mnemonic for motorcycle gear shifting techniques?

Motorcycle gear shifting techniques are divided into upshifting and downshifting. The specific mnemonic for shifting techniques is as follows: 1. Upshifting: Before starting, pull the clutch and step down to first gear, then slowly release the clutch while gently accelerating. Once the clutch is fully released, you can shift to second gear. On good road conditions with fewer people and when steady, economical driving is required, choose higher gears at lower RPMs. As long as there's no lugging, try to use higher gears to keep the engine working at lower RPMs, which saves fuel and reduces wear on the engine. 2. Downshifting: When anticipating the need to slow down, you can use engine braking to decelerate. Pull the clutch, downshift one gear, blip the throttle, and immediately release the clutch. Repeat after the engine RPM drops.

How Many Years Can a Motorcycle Tire Last?

Generally, the shelf life of a motorcycle tire is 5 years. Tires that exceed this age will gradually decline in various performance parameters. Below is a detailed introduction on how to determine the lifespan of a motorcycle tire: Small transverse ribs appear: If there are small raised transverse ribs in the grooves of the tire tread, it is recommended to replace the tire. Cracks or damage on the tire sidewall: It should be replaced as soon as possible, especially after prolonged driving with low tire pressure. Storing the tire in sunlight year-round or leaving it unused for extended periods can lead to rapid aging, causing the tire to harden and lose grip. It is advisable to replace such tires. Tire bulging: Tires with severe damage should be replaced immediately.
