Last time I lost my car key, I was in a real panic. First, I searched my home and car for a spare key. If there wasn't one, I immediately contacted the 4S shop or a professional locksmith. They can pair a new smart key based on your vehicle's VIN code, with costs ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan. For security, make sure your car is locked right away to prevent someone from finding the key and driving off. Some newer cars support locking or unlocking via a mobile app, which is great for emergencies. In the long run, it's wise to get an extra key made and keep it in a safe place at home to avoid this hassle again. Don't delay this process, as it could disrupt your daily life, like making it difficult to pick up your kids. I think developing good habits, like always hanging your keys in the same spot, can help prevent such mishaps.

Can Beijing's New Energy Vehicle Quota Be Used to Purchase Plug-in Hybrids?

Absolutely not. Beijing is the most unique pilot city for new energy vehicles, with its special feature being the exclusion of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles from the local new energy vehicle catalog. Additional information is as follows: 1. New Energy Vehicle Lottery: The new energy passenger car quota should be renamed the pure electric passenger car quota. There are no national mandatory regulations on local motor vehicle management, and it is understandable for Beijing to formulate its lottery policy based on its own management needs. 2. Local Subsidies for New Energy Vehicles: The state does not mandate local governments to provide subsidies for all new energy vehicles. Considering the actual capabilities of local automobile enterprises, it is also understandable for Beijing to only provide local subsidies for pure electric vehicles.

Can BYD Charge Outdoors in the Rain?

BYD can charge outdoors in the rain. All pure ports have excellent waterproof designs, so charging outdoors during rain is possible. However, even though charging is feasible, appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent the risk of electric leakage. During heavy rain, it is advisable to use an umbrella to cover the exposed charging port, and inserting it into the charging port can provide some waterproof effect. For some models where the charging cable can be separated from the charging pile, when charging in the rain, first connect the cable to the vehicle body and then to the charging pile. This will avoid direct electrical connection between the plug and socket in the vehicle body to prevent electric shock. Charging piles have certain rainproof and waterproof measures, offering some protection against rain both during charging and when idle. As for the charging plug part on the vehicle body, it will also have some rainproof effect once the plug is connected. When parking, try to choose a higher ground position. If parked in a low-lying area, prolonged water accumulation may cause the battery or charging port to be submerged in water. Check the charging gun to ensure there is no water or debris inside, and make sure the charging gun and charging port are in full contact for normal charging. After charging is completed, promptly cover the charging port lid when removing the charging gun from the vehicle body.
