New energy vehicles require the following maintenance: 1. Inspect the functionality of lights, aging of wiper blades, and the integrity of the vehicle's paint; 2. Check the chassis components, suspension, and their connecting parts; 3. Monitor tire pressure, cracks, and wear; 4. Replace the antifreeze; 5. Inspect the wiring harnesses in the engine compartment for aging or loose connections; 6. Check the vehicle's battery. New energy vehicles refer to those that use unconventional automotive fuels as their power source, which are categorized into: 1. Hybrid electric vehicles; 2. Battery electric vehicles; 3. Fuel cell vehicles; 4. Hydrogen engine vehicles; 5. Gas-powered vehicles; 6. Alcohol-ether vehicles.

As a new energy vehicle owner with just over three years of experience, here are some practical insights. Maintenance focuses on the three-electric system: batteries dislike extreme temperatures, requiring regular check-ups, while the thermal management system needs antifreeze and pipeline seal inspections. Periodic slow charging is crucial to calibrate battery display errors. Clean the motor controller's dust filter twice a year to prevent cooling issues. Pay extra attention to the chassis, especially the battery pack's sealing strips and wiring guards—hitting high-voltage lines with stones is no small matter. Maintenance schedules are far less demanding than for gas cars; I do a comprehensive inspection once a year after driving 20,000 km, costing under 300 yuan. Pro tip: clean the ventilation ducts of pollen before using the AC to save significant energy.

How long does it take for imported cars to reach 4S stores after arriving at the port?

Imported cars arriving at the port generally follow several routes: first, those ordered by 4S stores; second, vehicles from import trading companies; third, small-scale customs-seized vehicles. If it's an imported car ordered by a 4S store, it usually takes about half a month to reach the local 4S store. Introduction to imported cars: Imported cars are vehicles manufactured abroad, then authorized for sale by domestic 4S store dealers. The prices of imported cars are relatively high due to authorization reasons, resulting in higher taxes, but they come with higher quality assurance. Introduction to parallel imported cars: Parallel imports, simply put, refer to imported cars sold without authorization but are legal vehicles. Apart from the domestic general distributors, other importers directly import the cars from the product's country of origin, with their import channels being 'parallel' to the domestic authorized distribution channels.

Is it mandatory to have car maintenance at a 4S shop after purchasing a vehicle?

It is not mandatory to have car maintenance at a 4S shop after purchasing a vehicle. According to relevant regulations: manufacturers and 4S shops cannot refuse to provide warranty services for the vehicle on the grounds that maintenance was not performed at an officially authorized shop. This means car owners can freely choose where to have their cars repaired. Except for the car manufacturer fulfilling its responsibilities for defective car recalls and the "three guarantees" for car quality, no individual or organization can force or covertly force the designation of a maintenance provider. Therefore, car owners can choose where to have their cars maintained. However, it is still recommended to go to a 4S shop, as the first maintenance is usually provided free of charge by the manufacturer, and car owners should not miss it. Moreover, the first maintenance is quite important. After the warranty period expires, car owners can then opt for maintenance at external auto repair shops. If you plan to have your new car maintained outside, make sure to find a reputable auto repair shop that can provide relevant documentation.

What is the standard size for a sedan garage?

The standard dimensions for a car parking space: width 2.5 meters, length 5.0 meters to 5.5 meters, with 5.3 meters commonly preferred as the planning dimension. This ensures that when two adjacent cars are parked, there is ample space to open the doors comfortably, and it fully accommodates the length of most common sedans on the market. Suitable for use in workplaces, residential communities, and underground parking garages. Aerodynamic drag is the resistance a vehicle encounters from the air while moving. Generally, there are three forms of aerodynamic drag: 1. Frontal resistance caused by airflow hitting the front of the vehicle: Similar to holding a board against the wind, the resistance experienced is almost entirely due to the airflow impact. 2. Frictional resistance: Air flowing over the vehicle body also creates friction, but at the speeds most vehicles typically travel, this resistance is minimal and can almost be ignored. 3. Form drag: Generally, at high speeds, form drag is the primary source of aerodynamic resistance. The drag caused by the vehicle's shape comes from the vacuum area behind the car—the larger the vacuum area, the greater the resistance. Typically, the form drag of a sedan is smaller than that of a station wagon.

What are the dimensions of a 13-meter high-barrier truck?

A 13-meter high-barrier truck is approximately 13 meters in length, with a width of around 2.4 meters and a height of about 3 meters. High-barrier semi-trailer trucks are generally referred to as freight trucks or simply trucks. They are primarily designed for transporting goods and sometimes for towing other vehicles, falling under the category of commercial vehicles. Based on weight, they are typically classified into heavy-duty and light-duty trucks. Most trucks are powered by diesel engines, though some light-duty trucks may use gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or natural gas. Below are some important considerations when driving a high-barrier truck: Mind the blind spots: Due to the elevated driver's cabin, high-barrier trucks have significant blind spots. Drivers must maintain safe distances, avoid unnecessary lane changes, and refrain from abrupt turns. When in doubt, reduce speed and prioritize safety. Avoid speeding: High-barrier trucks mainly carry cargo, making them considerably heavy. Speeding increases braking distance and inertia during emergencies, raising the risk of accidents. Always control speed and obey traffic signals.

What is the normal RPM at 110 km/h?

During normal driving, the engine RPM in the highest gear is as follows: at 100 km/h, the RPM is generally around 2800; at 110 km/h, the RPM is generally around 3200; at 120 km/h, the RPM is generally around 3400. Different vehicle models, engines, transmissions, and other factors can cause variations in engine RPM at the same speed. A one-sided judgment is not comprehensive enough. Factors such as displacement, power, transmission type, the RPM at which the engine reaches maximum torque, and tire diameter must be considered to determine the RPM range. The engine operates most efficiently within the 2000-4000 RPM range, which is referred to as the healthy RPM zone. RPM that is too low or too high is not ideal. If it's too low, fuel combustion is incomplete, leading to carbon buildup and engine damage. If it's too high, excessive wear occurs on the engine cylinders and transmission gears, potentially harming the engine. Higher speeds correspond to higher gears, meaning the transmission gear ratio increases. Speed and gear have a corresponding relationship. Therefore, at a given speed, the transmission gear ratios of different vehicles are generally similar, so engine RPM and wheel circumference determine the vehicle speed.
