The reason why an electric car doesn't move after braking and applying power may be due to damage to the Hall element inside the accelerator (throttle), failure of the braking power-off system, control circuit failure, motor failure, etc. Here is a detailed introduction about braking: Overview: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of a running locomotive, vehicle, other means of transport, or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. Brake pads: Automobile brake pads, also called automobile brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc rotating with the wheel. The friction linings and friction blocks inside bear external pressure and generate friction to achieve vehicle deceleration.

The electric vehicle charges after braking but does not move, which may be due to a stuck brake switch. After braking, the system should automatically release to allow the vehicle to move, but if the switch is damaged or stuck, the signal won't reach the controller, and the vehicle naturally won't move. Another possibility is a faulty brake sensor, where the electric vehicle's system thinks it's still braking, triggering the safety protection to prevent movement. Another common cause is a controller issue, which manages the coordination between the motor and brakes. If internal components fail, causing input and output signal confusion, the vehicle will remain stationary. Loose or aged battery connections can also lead to unstable power supply, especially when the battery is in poor condition during charging. Checking whether the brake wire plug is corroded or disconnected is crucial, as many vehicles experience issues due to poor wiring contact. It's recommended to first try pushing and rocking the vehicle to release the brake lock. If that doesn't work, visit a professional shop for inspection—don't ignore this small issue, as it could escalate into a major fault.

How does the insurance company compensate for water damage to the car?

Water damage insurance refers to the situation where the engine is directly damaged due to water ingress during vehicle use, and the insurance company is responsible for compensation. The car damage insurance has been changed to comprehensive commercial insurance for motor vehicle loss, which includes all additional insurance types, so there is no need to purchase water damage insurance separately.

What is the penalty for being caught not driving in the motor vehicle lane?

If there are parking spaces, bus stops, or entrances/exits on the non-motor vehicle lane side, vehicles are allowed to enter. If the original lane is impassable due to vehicle breakdown, accident, or road conditions, vehicles may also enter the non-motor vehicle lane. Motor vehicles not driving in the motor vehicle lane (i.e., driving in non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks) will be fined and may incur a 2-point deduction depending on the circumstances.

What is the first step in driving?

The first step in driving is to adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt. The correct seat height should be adjusted so that the driver's view is neither blocked by the steering wheel nor obstructed from seeing all important instruments and street signs. After adjusting the seat height, the front and rear position of the seat should also be adjusted. Finally, remember to fasten the seat belt before driving. The following are some driving precautions: Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front: It is important to develop the habit of keeping a sufficient distance between your car and the vehicle in front when driving outside the city, whether on your lane or the adjacent lane. Driving speeds outside the city are relatively high, especially on highways. In case of an unexpected event ahead, having enough distance allows for an emergency response. Additionally, it is common to encounter vehicles in adjacent lanes suddenly changing lanes without signaling. Having enough distance ensures you can handle such situations calmly. Ensure the car door is securely closed when driving: For female drivers, it is not uncommon for car doors to be improperly closed. Since female drivers generally use less force when closing doors compared to male drivers, there may be instances where the door is not tightly shut. In the event of an accident, an improperly closed door could lead to fatal consequences.

How to Use Car Wax?

Before waxing, it's best to wash away the dirt and dust on the car's exterior with car wash soap. Remember not to blindly use dish detergent or soapy water and wax in the shade. When applying wax, use a sponge block to apply an appropriate amount of car wax and spread it in straight, back-and-forth motions on the car body. Do not pour the wax liquid directly onto the car and spread it randomly or in circular motions. After waxing the car body, some wax residue may remain in the gaps of areas such as the headlights, license plate, doors, and trunk, making the car look unattractive.
