I've been driving the Honda Inspire for two years and feel it's essentially a sister model to the Accord, but positioned more towards sportiness and premium appeal. It first appeared in the 1990s when Honda used it to test the mid-to-high-end market. However, it truly gained popularity in China when Dongfeng Honda introduced it for local production in 2018, renaming it 'Inspire.' From my experience, this car offers exceptional handling with perfectly weighted steering and remarkable stability during high-speed cornering. The hybrid version is particularly outstanding—extremely quiet, with smooth acceleration and significantly lower fuel consumption compared to the SUV I drove before. The interior space is quite spacious, comfortably seating three adults in the rear without feeling cramped, and the trunk has ample room for luggage. The dashboard design is clean with logically placed buttons that are easy to operate while driving. Unfortunately, the infotainment system feels outdated, often requiring reliance on smartphone navigation. Overall, it's been a hassle-free drive with reasonable maintenance costs, though its discontinuation is a bit regrettable.

Do I need to turn on the AC button for heating?

You do not need to turn on the AC button for heating. Function of car air conditioning: It is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car cabin to the optimal state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, creating good working conditions for the driver, and serving as an important ventilation device for ensuring safe driving. Car air conditioning system: It generally includes a refrigeration device, a heating device, and a ventilation device. This combined system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally.

How Many Years Do Electric Vehicle Batteries Last?

National regulations mandate that the three-electric system (battery pack, motor, and electronic control) of pure electric vehicles must have a warranty period of 8 years or 120,000 kilometers. Classification of Electric Vehicle Batteries: Electric vehicle batteries are divided into two main categories: storage batteries and fuel cells. Storage batteries are used in pure electric vehicles and include lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, secondary lithium batteries, air batteries, and ternary lithium batteries. Fuel cells are specifically used in fuel cell electric vehicles and include alkaline fuel cells (AFC), phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC), molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). Functions of Storage Batteries: The role of storage batteries varies slightly depending on the type of electric vehicle. In pure electric vehicles equipped solely with storage batteries, the battery serves as the sole power source for the vehicle's drive system. In hybrid vehicles equipped with a traditional engine (or fuel cell) and a storage battery, the battery can act either as the primary power source or as an auxiliary power source for the drive system. Specifically, at low speeds and during startup, the battery functions as the primary power source; during full-load acceleration, it acts as an auxiliary power source; and during normal driving, deceleration, or braking, it serves as an energy storage device.

Is CLTC Range Accurate?

CLTC range accuracy refers to the discrepancy between the actual driving range and the labeled range. CLTC range principle: Under CLTC conditions without air conditioning, the CLTC test extends the total duration of a single test to 1800 seconds, including 674 seconds of low-speed conditions, 693 seconds of medium-speed conditions, and 433 seconds of high-speed conditions. Additionally, the maximum speed set in the CLTC test is 114km/h, which is lower than the 120km/h in the NEDC test. Reasons why the actual range does not meet the labeled results: Since the test is conducted without air conditioning, while actual driving inevitably requires its use. Moreover, the test cannot fully simulate real-world stop-and-go traffic conditions, where the average speed is often lower. Additionally, various variable conditions can cause test results to differ from actual outcomes, such as differences in road friction coefficients, among others.

Are 2.75-10 and 3.0-10 interchangeable?

2.75-10 and 3.0-10 are interchangeable. Interchangeability principle: As long as the tire diameter is the same and the applicable rims are basically the same, they can be interchanged. It has little impact on the motor, but the larger the contact area, the more power the battery consumes. However, the relative balance is improved. The electric vehicle wheel size is a 10-inch rim, with a diameter of about 25CM. The following tire models can be used, and these types of tubeless tires are interchangeable: 3.0-10, 2.75-10, 14x3.2, 15x3.0, 80/100-10. Of course, the 3.0-10 inner tube can be used for all. Method to identify tire diameter: Currently, almost all passenger car tires are radial tires. According to the identification method of radial passenger car tire specifications, they are labeled in the order of "tire width, aspect ratio, compatible rim diameter, load index, and speed rating."
