The difference between beam wipers and conventional wipers lies in the material and the wiping effect. Material difference: Beam wipers use stainless steel as the connecting material, making them lightweight, easy to install, and quieter during use, but they are slightly more expensive. Conventional wipers are made of iron, which is harder and less prone to deformation during use, but they produce more noise, have a longer lifespan, and are lower in cost. Wiping effect: Beam wipers, without the support of a frame, provide better contact with the windshield and more even pressure and wear distribution, resulting in superior wiping performance. Conventional wipers, supported by a frame, are more effective at removing debris from the windshield, especially larger particles, ensuring efficient impurity removal.

Can Electric Vehicles Get Wet in the Rain?

It is best not to expose electric vehicles to rain, and they should be covered with something. Precautions for driving in the rain: 1. Maintain a safe distance: Rainy weather obstructs visibility, making it harder to judge the distance between vehicles accurately, so it's necessary to keep a greater distance from the car ahead. 2. Drive at a low speed: Wet and slippery roads can make it difficult to brake suddenly at high speeds. 3. Turn on fog lights in heavy rain: Heavy rain can cause foggy conditions, narrowing the visible field of vision and rapidly increasing driving hazards. 4. Stay away from large trucks and lorries: On highways, keep a distance from large trucks. In rainy conditions, large trucks often cannot brake effectively in sudden situations.
