The range of the BMW i3 is 340 kilometers, as per the data provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In actual usage, the range may be slightly lower because the Ministry tests under relatively ideal conditions. This car features a rear-mounted electric motor, making it a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. Pure electric vehicles have very quick power response, and the power delivery method of the electric motor differs from that of conventional gasoline or diesel engines. This type of power delivery is well-suited for stop-and-go urban driving. The BMW i3 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

As a long-term owner of the BMW i3, I've found that the range is generally around 190 kilometers, with fluctuations depending on city or highway driving. Frequent starts and stops in urban commuting can reduce the range to around 150 kilometers, while maintaining a steady speed on the highway can keep it above 170 kilometers. Using the heater in winter or air conditioning in summer can reduce the range by over 20%. The performance is good when the car is new, but as the battery ages over the years, the range may slightly decrease. It's advisable not to fully deplete the battery when charging each month. Overall, it's sufficient for daily use—a single charge can last a full day, and charging stations are now widely available, making it easy to find a spot. Battery health management is crucial; regular checks can help extend its lifespan.

What grade of gasoline should the Bin Yue use?

The recommended gasoline grade for the Bin Yue is 92 octane. Below is relevant information about automotive fuel: 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and ensure all doors and windows are closed. The fuel type should be unleaded gasoline, with ethanol-blended gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol allowed. 2. The fuel type is unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 92. When using ethanol-blended gasoline, ensure the ethanol content does not exceed 10% and that the octane rating meets the above standard. 3. Frequently mixing gasoline from Sinopec and PetroChina brands may lead to carbon buildup and affect engine performance, as the two brands differ in refining processes, standards, and additives.

Can I Keep My Original License Plate When Changing to a New Car?

You can keep your original license plate when changing to a new car, but the following three conditions must be met: 1. Apply in time. Within one year after transferring or deregistering the old car, the original license plate will be reserved for the owner. As long as you apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate during this period, you can transfer the original license plate to the newly purchased car or a used car. After one year, the license plate will be returned to the selection pool and made available to the public. 2. The original license plate must have been used for at least one year. Previously, the license plate had to be used for more than three years before it could be retained, so many car owners who wanted to change cars waited until the three-year period was over. Now, as long as it has been used for at least one year, you can apply to retain it. 3. Any violations or accidents involving the original car must be resolved. If you have committed any traffic violations or incurred fines while driving the original vehicle, you must pay all fines and resolve any outstanding accidents before applying to retain the original license plate number. Otherwise, you will lose ownership of the original license plate, and it will be reclaimed by the vehicle management office.

Is it better to have the first maintenance at 3,000 kilometers or 5,000 kilometers?

The first maintenance at 3,000 kilometers is better. In fact, the items covered in the first maintenance are quite simple, mainly including changing the engine oil and oil filter, as well as some routine vehicle inspections, such as checking the wear on tires and brake pads, the levels of various fluids in the engine compartment, the level of antifreeze, lifting the vehicle to inspect the chassis for any signs of impact, and checking whether the chassis brackets and tie rods are deformed. The first maintenance is generally about checking if the car has any issues and changing the oil and filter. When performing maintenance, it's important to pay attention to the oil change—always opt for fully synthetic oil. Many car owners overlook this and end up using mineral oil, which is generally cheaper but inferior in performance compared to fully synthetic oil. Fully synthetic oil has a replacement cycle of up to around 10,000 kilometers, whereas mineral oil typically requires changing every 5,000 kilometers.

Can points be deducted during the probationary period?

Points can be deducted during the probationary period, but not all 12 points. If the points deducted during the probationary period do not reach 12, the probationary period can be completed normally after paying the corresponding fines. However, if all 12 points are deducted during the probationary period, the probationary driving license for the corresponding vehicle type will be revoked. For a C1 driving license, as long as not all 12 points are deducted during the probationary period, the points will be reset to zero upon completion of the probationary period after paying the fines. If the fines are not paid, the points will automatically carry over to the next scoring cycle. The probationary period for a C1 license will not be extended. The extension of the probationary period only applies to Class A and B driving licenses. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks who accumulate 6 or more points but less than 12 points during the one-year probationary period will have their probationary period extended by one year. If they again accumulate 6 or more points but less than 12 points during the extended probationary period, their probationary driving qualification for the corresponding vehicle type will be revoked.

How far can a Mercedes-Benz travel when the fuel gauge shows 0?

When the fuel gauge shows "0", most vehicles can typically travel about 20 kilometers. The actual distance depends not only on the driver's skills but also on factors such as the car's fuel consumption, road conditions, and weather. Although the impact on the vehicle is minimal when the fuel warning light comes on, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible. It is recommended to refuel when the fuel gauge shows a quarter of the tank remaining. If the fuel warning light is on, drivers on highways should maintain a steady speed and drive on the right side to find the nearest service station for refueling. Important Notes: Continuing to drive after the fuel warning light comes on is known as "low-fuel driving." It is best to refuel immediately after the warning light appears, as low-fuel driving can damage the fuel pump. The fuel pump generates heat during operation, and if the remaining fuel cannot cover it, the pump may not dissipate heat effectively, shortening its lifespan. Driving until the fuel warning light comes on not only harms the fuel pump but also poses safety risks. If the vehicle's condition changes or fuel consumption increases, the driver may miscalculate the remaining range, leading to the car running out of fuel and stalling. This is particularly dangerous on highways.

Can Radiator Coolant Be Mixed with Water?

Radiator coolant can occasionally be mixed with water, but it should not be mixed for extended periods. More details are as follows: 1. When it is necessary to top up the coolant in the radiator (below the MIN mark), if there is no radiator coolant available, purified water can be used as a temporary substitute. After all, it is better than having no coolant at all, as a lack of liquid in the radiator will prevent it from functioning effectively. If you suddenly engage in aggressive driving under such conditions, it is easy to experience "boiling over." Of course, you should still replace it with the original coolant as soon as possible at an auto repair shop. 2. However, prolonged use of purified water mixed with radiator coolant is not advisable. Although radiator coolant does contain water, the water used is deionized and softened, free from impurities and ions. 3. Long-term mixing can lead to the accumulation of scale on the surfaces of the radiator and water jacket, not only reducing heat dissipation efficiency but also making it difficult to clean. In summary, unless absolutely necessary, avoid mixing water with radiator coolant.
