What is on the left side of the dashboard of a new energy vehicle?

The left side of the dashboard of a new energy vehicle includes the speedometer, tachometer, and oil pressure gauge. Speedometer: The speedometer is a digital instrument that operates through the engagement of the counter drum gear with the worm gear on the speedometer drive shaft, causing the counter drum to rotate. Its characteristic is that when the upper drum completes one full rotation, the lower drum rotates 1/10 of a turn. Tachometer: The tachometer is generally located within the instrument panel, symmetrically placed alongside the speedometer. It works on a magnetic principle, receiving pulse signals generated when the primary current in the ignition coil is interrupted, and converts these signals into a displayable rpm value. Oil Pressure Gauge: The sensor of the oil pressure gauge is a piezoresistive sensor, which is threaded into the engine oil pipeline. The oil pressure pushes the contact piece to move along the resistor, changing the resistance value and thereby affecting the amount of current passing through the gauge to the ground.

Back when I drove a new energy vehicle, the left side of the instrument cluster was typically where the speed was displayed. It looked like a large dial with numbers ranging from 0 to the maximum speed, showing you in real-time how fast you were going. This is super important for safety, as speeding can easily lead to loss of control. Additionally, in new energy vehicles, it might incorporate electric elements, such as displaying the remaining range or power output, letting you see whether your current energy consumption is moderate or aggressive. I recommend taking a quick glance at it every time you get in the car—this can help avoid rapid acceleration that wastes battery life and maintain economical driving on highways. I also use it to assist with navigation, as the system flashes to alert you to speed limit changes. Once you develop the habit, driving becomes smoother, and you won’t need to frequently check your phone. Regular maintenance of the instrument cluster is also essential, as dust buildup can blur the numbers, making it easy to misjudge and get distracted.

As a frequent electric vehicle commuter, I've noticed that the left section of the dashboard primarily functions as a speed indicator. It uses a bold pointer and digital display to clearly show vehicle speed, helping maintain proper pacing to avoid fines. New energy vehicles add some unique features here, like battery temperature indicators or instant power readings, which help monitor driving efficiency affecting range. For example, if the needle suddenly spikes to the high range, it indicates you're aggressively pressing the accelerator, causing multiplied energy consumption that requires caution. I also use it in conjunction with other systems, like when lane assist activates its warning lights. To save costs, I've learned to maintain steady output in lower speed ranges, minimizing sudden braking which benefits battery health. During casual chats with fellow EV owners, some mentioned occasional freezing issues with the left display screen - they recommend getting it calibrated at authorized service centers to ensure precision.

When I first switched to driving a new energy vehicle, I noticed that the left side of the dashboard always displayed the speed, with a dial or digital meter showing how fast I was currently driving, making it easy to follow the rules while picking up and dropping off the kids. Sometimes it also combined battery information, such as remaining charge and estimated range, so I could tell at a glance whether I needed to recharge. While driving, this feature helped me avoid speed cameras and reminded me not to stomp on the accelerator and waste electricity. On weekend outings, I often used it to assist with driving, and the system would flash a low battery warning. By the way, it's also essential to regularly clean the dust off the dashboard to prevent blurriness and ensure clear visibility.
