What to do if the transmission of the 2012 Focus overheats?

Solutions for the overheating transmission of the 2012 Focus include regularly cleaning the vehicle's radiator, purchasing guaranteed genuine transmission fluid, and regularly replacing the vehicle's transmission fluid. The details are as follows: 1. Regularly clean the vehicle's radiator: Poor performance of the cooling system can lead to many problems. The high-temperature transmission fluid coming out of the transmission does not get sufficiently cooled before returning to the transmission. The high-speed rotating torque converter will bear a very heavy load if it does not get proper cooling. 2. Purchase guaranteed genuine transmission fluid: Generally speaking, inferior fluid has poor fluidity and can coke at high temperatures, causing changes in the clutch engagement rate, which leads to a decline in shift quality, resulting in delayed or harsh shifts. This can further cause disengagement, slippage, or even inability to drive, and in severe cases, it can lead to the transmission being scrapped. 3. Regularly replace the vehicle's transmission fluid: Too fine metal shavings can enter the automatic transmission through the oil circuit, causing damage to some mechanical components. Therefore, it is important to develop good maintenance habits, regularly replace the transmission fluid, and keep the vehicle in better working condition.

What is the typical power output of a pure electric vehicle?

The maximum power output of the motor in standard new energy vehicle models is typically around 70kW, with a maximum torque of 180 N·m. For high-performance versions, the motor's maximum power usually reaches 120kW, delivering up to 280 N·m of torque. Current electric vehicle types include Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). Working principle of electric vehicles: The drive motor receives electrical energy which is then converted into mechanical energy. While lead-acid batteries remain the most widely used power source, their limitations - including low energy density, slow charging speed, and short lifespan - are leading to gradual replacement by emerging alternatives. Developing power sources mainly include sodium-sulfur batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, lithium batteries, and fuel cells. Electric vehicle motors can be categorized into multiple types: AC motors, DC motors, universal motors, control motors (including stepper, tachometer, servo, and synchro types), switched reluctance motors, and signal motors. Motors suitable for electric propulsion mainly fall into two categories: DC motors (converting DC electrical energy to mechanical energy) and AC motors (converting AC electrical energy to mechanical energy). Currently applied or promising motor types for electric vehicles include DC motors, AC induction (asynchronous) motors, permanent magnet brushless motors, and switched reluctance motors.

What are the reasons why a pure electric vehicle cannot be charged with slow charging?

If the vehicle can be charged normally with a different charger, it indicates that the original charger is damaged. If the issue persists even after changing the charger, and both the circuit grounding and grid power supply are normal, then the problem may lie with the vehicle itself, and assistance from a 4S shop should be sought. The following are precautions for charging an electric vehicle: 1. Charge daily: This keeps the battery in a shallow cycle, extending its lifespan. 2. Control charging time and frequency: Overcharging, over-discharging, and insufficient charging can all shorten battery life. It is important to manage charging time and frequency to avoid battery damage. 3. Avoid overheating of the plug during charging: Prolonged overheating can lead to plug short circuits or poor contact, damaging both the charger and the battery. Oxides should be promptly cleaned or connectors replaced. 4. Avoid bumps and ensure ventilation: Always follow the instructions for protecting the charger, and try to protect it from vibration and bumps. Keep the charger well-ventilated during charging; otherwise, it may not only reduce the charger's lifespan but also affect the charging state, causing damage to the battery. 5. Periodic discharge: Performing a deep discharge periodically helps 'activate' the battery and improves its capacity.

Are genuine parts the same as OEM parts?

Yes, they are OEM parts. Parts can be classified as follows: 1. OEM parts: As the name suggests, OEM parts are those with the car manufacturer's logo, representing the most "genuine" parts, meeting the same quality standards as the original components in the vehicle. Typically, they are supplied to authorized 4S stores, though some may also be available at certified partners, and they are usually the most expensive. 2. Original equipment (OE) parts: Many car parts are not manufactured by the automaker but are outsourced to experienced suppliers like Bosch, MAN, Valeo, Hella, etc. These suppliers are permitted to produce parts of the same specifications for their own sales, but without the car manufacturer's logo. Generally, OE parts are slightly cheaper than OEM parts. 3. Aftermarket parts: Aftermarket parts come from various sources. The first type is produced by small and medium-sized suppliers with production qualifications, using materials and processes similar to OEM parts but not approved by the automaker. The second type involves parts imitating certain car models' specifications, with varying materials and processes but sold under their own brands. The third type consists of counterfeit OEM or OE parts. Due to their diverse origins, aftermarket parts vary greatly in price. High-quality aftermarket parts may cost half the price of OEM parts, while lower-quality ones may be a quarter or even less.

How Long Do Electric Vehicle Batteries Last?

Pure electric vehicle batteries can last 3 to 5 years. These vehicles use onboard batteries as power output and are driven by electric motors to propel the wheels, belonging to the category of new energy vehicles. Below are methods to extend battery lifespan: 1. Regular Inspections: Whether it's a fuel-powered or new energy vehicle, regular condition checks are essential. They help identify potential issues with the battery pack during use and allow for timely corrections. Additionally, if the vehicle's range suddenly drops significantly during use, it's likely that at least one battery in the pack has a problem and should be sent to a repair shop immediately. 2. Avoid Overcharging: New energy vehicles should not be overcharged, over-discharged, or undercharged, as these can shorten battery life. The correct approach is to determine charging time and frequency based on actual vehicle conditions. If the battery indicator light comes on, charge as soon as possible to avoid over-discharging, which affects lifespan. Also, avoid excessively long charging times to prevent overheating. If the battery temperature exceeds 65°C during charging, stop immediately to avoid hazards. 3. Gentle Acceleration: Rapid acceleration in new energy vehicles can cause high-current discharge, leading to lead sulfate crystallization, which damages the battery plates' physical properties and reduces lifespan. Even though electric vehicles offer fast and thrilling acceleration, avoid frequently flooring the accelerator. 4. Charge Before Long-Term Parking: Many owners neglect to charge their vehicles when not in use for extended periods, planning to charge just before the next use. This is highly detrimental! Storing a battery without charge can lead to sulfation, where lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, causing significant harm. Therefore, always ensure the battery is charged before long-term parking. 5. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: This is a major drawback of new energy vehicles—they cannot withstand excessively hot or cold environments. Overheating increases internal battery pressure, causing water loss, reduced activity, and accelerated plate aging. Extreme cold drastically reduces range and negatively impacts battery performance. Many northern owners report avoiding air conditioning in winter due to range anxiety.
