New energy vehicle fast charging and slow charging have the following differences: Different charging interfaces: Fast charging uses high-power DC charging and is the charging interface of DC charging piles. Slow charging refers to AC charging and is the charging interface of AC charging piles. Different charging methods: Fast charging converts the AC power from the grid into DC power and delivers it to the fast charging port of the electric vehicle, with the electricity directly entering the battery for charging. Slow charging inputs the AC power from the grid into the slow charging port of the electric vehicle, where the onboard charger converts the AC power into DC power before delivering it to the battery to complete charging. Different charging times: Fast charging can charge up to 80% of the battery capacity in as little as half an hour, while slow charging generally takes 6 to 8 hours to complete the process.

I've been driving an electric car for over two years, so I know the difference between slow charging and fast charging all too well. Slow charging is when I plug my car into the garage socket after work every day, mostly using AC power with low wattage. It takes about seven or eight hours to fully charge, but it's done by the time I wake up. The advantage is saving on electricity bills—charging during off-peak hours is more economical—and it's less harmful to the battery, extending its lifespan. Fast charging is completely different. You find a charging station on the road, use a DC plug, and in just over ten minutes, you can get half a tank of charge. It's a lifesaver for long trips. However, it's more expensive, costing dozens of yuan each time, and frequent use accelerates battery wear. I've developed a habit: slow charging at home for savings and peace of mind, reserving fast charging for weekend trips. I also have to watch out for signal issues in the car—sometimes the app freezes and affects charging—but overall, it's part of the smart life.

What grade of gasoline should the Borui GE use?

The Borui GE uses 95-octane gasoline. The octane number of gasoline is the ratio of the actual anti-knock performance of the gasoline to that of standard gasoline. Generally, the higher the octane number, the stronger the anti-knock performance. The gasoline grade to be used should follow the manufacturer's recommendation. Gasoline is produced by refining various components such as straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, and catalytic reforming gasoline, then blending them with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in vehicles. The Borui GE measures 4986mm in length, 1861mm in width, and 1513mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2870mm. The exterior design of this car draws inspiration from the current Borui model, featuring a similar overall shape. The ripple-style front grille connects with the headlights at the bottom, creating a distinctive contrast with other models in the family, and incorporates an inwardly concave design.

Where is the license plate Chuan P from?

Currently, there is no Chuan P license plate. Before Chongqing became a municipality directly under the central government in 1997, Chuan P was the license plate for the Qianjiang region. The following is a related introduction to license plates: 1. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the number plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are usually made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, and are engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. Vehicle license plates are hard number plates with a unified format and style as stipulated by national vehicle management regulations. They are issued by vehicle management authorities after reviewing, inspecting, and registering vehicles that apply for license plates. Generally, there are two plates, installed at designated positions on the front and rear of the vehicle as required. 2. License plates are used for numbering and information registration of vehicles. Their main function is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs through the license plate, and to trace the owner and registration information of the vehicle based on the license plate.

What to Do When the Door Limiter Makes Noise?

Here are the causes and solutions for abnormal noise from the door limiter: 1. Issues with design and manufacturing processes, causing noise between the limiter arm surface and the roller bracket side. Severe misalignment between the door hinge axis and the limiter rotation axis. Recommendation/Measure: The door hinge axis and the limiter rotation axis must be controlled to 's3', and the door hinge should be monitored. Solution: For problems related to design and manufacturing processes, seek replacement from a 4S shop. 2. Long-term violent opening or closing of the door, leading to deformation, bending, or damage of the door limiter due to force. Solution: If the door limiter is deformed or damaged due to force, it needs to be replaced. 3. Wear of the door limiter during use or door sagging. Solution: Replace the limiter if it is worn or its limiting function is reduced, depending on the situation. 4. Lack of lubrication on the limiter surface. Solution: The simplest method is to use lubricants like grease for lubrication and rust prevention, reducing mechanical part friction and wear, and extending fatigue life.
