As a veteran who has been in the automotive industry for many years, I clearly remember the origin story of SVOLT—it was originally the power battery division within Great Wall Motors and only became an independent professional company in 2018. At that time, our industry was discussing how this was Great Wall's strategic adjustment to the wave of electrification, aiming to make battery R&D more flexible and market-oriented. Today, although SVOLT has become independent, it remains a key partner of Great Wall, such as supplying high-performance cobalt-free batteries for the Ora electric vehicles and maintaining close collaboration on complete vehicle powertrain systems. This relationship is somewhat like a sapling branching out from a big tree while still giving back to its parent, improving the efficiency of the entire supply chain. With the explosive growth of China's electric vehicle market, this vertically integrated model allows Great Wall to stabilize costs and technology while avoiding battery shortage risks—I’ve noticed many brands are now learning from it. Overall, this is not just a business partnership but a smart strategic move by Great Wall in the new energy race.

Hey, I'm a huge fan of electric vehicles and spend all day on tech forums, so I'm super familiar with the dynamics between SVOLT and Great Wall Motors! SVOLT is like the 'child' of Great Wall, skyrocketing since its spin-off in 2018 by focusing on battery tech development, while Great Wall, as the 'parent,' naturally became its major client. They share technological resources—SVOLT's power batteries and energy storage systems are directly used in ORA and Tank NEV models, boosting range and charging speeds. This collaboration is awesome because Great Wall can test new battery solutions faster, like the cobalt-free lithium battery from SVOLT in the new car I just test-drove—safe and eco-friendly. With China's EV market booming, this tight partnership helps Great Wall stay competitive while encouraging SVOLT to innovate for exports. I always pay attention to these details when car shopping, since reliable supply chains mean fewer product risks.

From an industrial analysis perspective, the relationship between SVOLT Energy and Great Wall Motors essentially represents vertical integration in the supply chain. Originating from Great Wall's internal power battery team, SVOLT was spun off for market-oriented operations in 2018, with Great Wall remaining its core strategic partner and largest client. This model allows Great Wall to focus on vehicle manufacturing while SVOLT expands its battery product lines to serve global brands. Data shows the collaboration has improved battery quality consistency, reduced Great Wall's procurement costs by approximately 10%, and boosted sales of the ORA electric vehicle series. China's current new energy policies emphasize local supply chains, making this partnership align with the trend while reducing reliance on third-party battery suppliers. Long-term, this not only strengthens both companies' competitiveness but also propels the green transformation of China's automotive industry.

How to Start a Motorcycle Without a Key?

Pull out the key lock plug and connect the two power wires to start the engine normally. Below are precautions for long-term motorcycle parking: 1. Maintain standard tire pressure for front and rear tires: If the tire pressure is too low, it can cause premature aging and cracking of the tires. 2. Keep in a dry and ventilated place: Park the motorcycle in a dry and well-ventilated area, and take care to prevent moisture to avoid rust. Motorcycles should not be parked outdoors for extended periods, as this will accelerate the aging of the motorcycle's exterior. 3. Drain the gasoline and store it in a sealed container: This prevents the gasoline from evaporating due to prolonged storage, which could make the motorcycle difficult or impossible to start. Also, drain the gasoline from the carburetor to prevent impurities in the gasoline from clogging the carburetor's jets, fuel passages, and other components.

Is the C2 license test easy?

C1 and C2 driver's licenses have basically the same test content, but in terms of pass rates, the C2 license test is relatively easier. In Subject 2, C2 vehicles do not have a clutch, so during the test, you only need to control the brake, and stalling the engine is unlikely to occur. Below are the pros and cons of the C2 driver's license: 1. Pros: Although the test procedures for C1 and C2 licenses are the same, the C2 license has some advantages during the test. In Subject 2, since C2 vehicles lack a clutch, you only need to control the brake, making stalling virtually impossible. In Subject 3, with a C2 vehicle, you can simply drive in D gear without worrying about gear disengagement, shifting into the wrong gear, or mismatched gear and speed while driving. 2. Cons: Learning manual transmission earns you a C1 license, while learning automatic transmission grants you a C2 license. A C1 license holder can drive any vehicle that a C2 license holder can, but a C2 license holder cannot drive manual transmission vehicles. The permitted vehicle types for a C2 license are small automatic transmission cars, defined as automatic transmission vehicles with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons, seating no more than 9 people, and a length not exceeding 6 meters. Additionally, during training, you can switch from C1 to C2, but not from C2 to C1. To switch to C1, you would need to re-enroll in the C1 course.

Should You Turn Off the Air Conditioning Before Turning Off the Car?

You should turn off the air conditioning before turning off the car for the following reasons: 1. If you don't turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine, the starter motor will have to handle both the engine and the air conditioning system during the next startup, increasing the load and potentially damaging the vehicle. 2. Turning off the engine without first turning off the air conditioning can cause water vapor to condense on the evaporator, leading to bacterial growth and unpleasant odors in the air conditioning system. It is recommended to turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine and wait for two to three minutes after starting the car to allow the engine to be properly lubricated before turning on the air conditioning again. During the break-in period of a car, the power supply system, including the motor and battery, may not be very stable, and failing to turn off the air conditioning can indeed lead to faults due to excessive voltage.

What Does the Headlight Symbol Look Like?

The headlight primarily includes low beam and high beam. The low beam symbol is green with the light direction downward, while the high beam symbol is blue with the light direction straight ahead. Many people mistakenly believe that headlights only refer to the low beam, which is not entirely accurate. In fact, car headlights mainly consist of both low beam and high beam. Regarding the use of headlights, the requirements are to provide adequate illumination while avoiding dazzling oncoming drivers. Therefore, the following points should be noted when using headlights: 1. Keep the headlight lens clean, especially during rain or snow, as dirt can reduce headlight performance by up to 50%. Some vehicle models are equipped with headlight wipers and washers. 2. When two vehicles meet at night, both should switch from high beam to low beam when they are 150m apart to ensure driving safety. 3. To maintain optimal headlight performance, the headlight beam should be inspected and adjusted after replacing the headlight or every 10,000 km of driving. 4. Regularly check the bulbs, wiring sockets, and grounding for oxidation or looseness to ensure good contact and reliable grounding. Loose connections may cause current surges when turning on the headlights, leading to filament burnout, while oxidized connections can reduce bulb brightness due to increased voltage drop.

What is the ETC system on highways?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. Highways are equipped with one or more ETC lanes. ETC toll collection method: Through dedicated microwave short-range communication between the on-board RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses network technology to perform back-end settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. The conditions for applying for ETC are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; Postal credit card application form. This credit card is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC on-board device for free at designated postal outlets. No fees are charged during this process; Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old; Own a vehicle under personal name. Below are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, resulting in a smaller driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If it is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, resulting in failed toll deduction. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction failure.
