Electricity in a car comes from the vehicle's battery and alternator. The types of batteries are as follows: 1. Nickel-Cadmium Battery: Nickel-Cadmium Battery (Ni-Cd) Voltage: 1.2V. Service life: 500 cycles. Discharge temperature: -20°C to 60°C. Charge temperature: 0°C to 45°C. Note: Strong fire resistance. 2. Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery: Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery (Ni-MH) Voltage: 1.2V. Service life: 1000 cycles. Discharge temperature: -10°C to 45°C. Charge temperature: 10°C to 45°C. 3. Lithium-Ion Battery: Lithium-Ion Battery (Li-ion) Voltage: 3.6V. Service life: 500 cycles. Discharge temperature: -20°C to 60°C. Charge temperature: 0°C to 45°C. Note: 30%-40% lighter than Ni-MH batteries, with over 60% higher capacity. However, they are not resistant to overcharging, which can cause overheating and structural damage. 4. Lithium Polymer Battery: Lithium Polymer Battery (Li-polymer) Voltage: 3.7V. Service life: 500 cycles. Discharge temperature: -20°C to 60°C. Charge temperature: 0°C to 45°C. Note: An improved version of lithium batteries, using polymer electrolyte instead of liquid, allowing for various shapes and greater stability compared to lithium-ion batteries.

What Does Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Mean?

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, abbreviated as PHEV, is a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. Different from traditional hybrid vehicles that combine gasoline power with electric drive, the driving principle and unit of plug-in hybrid vehicles are the same as those of electric vehicles, with the only difference being that they are equipped with an engine. Broadly speaking, plug-in hybrid vehicles can be understood as having both an electric motor and an engine, both of which can provide power output. The vehicle body is equipped with a charging port, allowing the onboard battery to be charged using a charging station. The difference between plug-in hybrid vehicles and ordinary hybrid vehicles: ordinary hybrid vehicles have very small battery capacities, which only supply and recover energy during start-stop, acceleration, and deceleration. They cannot be charged externally and cannot travel long distances in pure electric mode. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have relatively larger batteries, can be charged externally, and can travel in pure electric mode. Once the battery is depleted, they switch to hybrid mode (mainly powered by the internal combustion engine) and recharge the battery as needed.

Does Car Windshield Washer Fluid Freeze?

If the windshield washer fluid used in winter is not specifically designed for winter, it may freeze. Generally, winter-specific washer fluid can prevent freezing at temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners choose winter-specific washer fluid during the winter season to effectively avoid freezing, ensuring safer use of windshield wipers and reducing financial losses. When selecting washer fluid for winter, the antifreeze performance should be the primary criterion. If the ambient temperature is particularly low, it is advisable to choose washer fluid with better antifreeze properties to prevent issues such as frozen fluid or malfunctioning of the washer pump. The antistatic performance of car windshield washer fluid is also one of the selection criteria for winter. High-quality washer fluid can prevent the buildup of static charges that attract dirt. If the washer fluid has poor antistatic capabilities, consumers should exercise caution when purchasing to avoid potential inconveniences during use.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Stall Automatically?

Reasons for an automatic transmission car stalling automatically: 1. The use of low-quality fuel leading to engine carbon buildup and stalling; 2. For new cars, it may be due to insufficient driving skills, or another possibility is issues with the car's engine or fuel system. However, for new cars, the likelihood of engine problems is relatively low, with most cases being related to fuel system issues. The normal engine speed for an automatic transmission is generally between 700 to 800 RPM. If it's too low, the engine tends to shake, and if it's too high, fuel consumption increases. Situations where the idle speed automatically increases by 50 to 150 RPM include: 1. Cold starts and low water temperature; 2. Battery depletion; 3. Turning on the air conditioning for cooling.
