What to Do When an Electric Vehicle Suddenly Stops Moving but Still Has Power?
2 Answers
Solutions for when an electric vehicle suddenly stops moving but still has power: 1. It might be an issue with the battery connection wires or battery plug. Try pulling the wires or plug by hand and secure them one by one. 2. The air switch might have tripped. Simply push the air switch back up. Reasons for the switch tripping include: severe vibration causing it to trip or an instantaneous current surge tripping it. Troubleshooting methods for an electric vehicle having power but not moving: 1. Unplug the brake handle socket (normally open type brake handle). If the motor runs, then the brake handle is faulty and should be replaced. The throttle source 5v voltage should be normal. Check the throttle signal voltage; when turning the throttle, the signal voltage should change from low to high between 0.8v to 4.2v. 2. Check if the battery output of the electric vehicle is normal. If the output is too low, it indicates a faulty battery that needs immediate replacement. 3. Disconnect the brake wire. If the vehicle moves, it means the brake handle is damaged and needs replacement.
If my electric car has its lights on but won't move, I'll first check some simple things: confirm that the battery indicator truly shows sufficient charge, as display errors are common; then try a system reboot—turn off the key after parking, wait about a minute, and restart, which often resolves software glitches. If rebooting doesn’t help, check the fuse box location—a blown fuse might cut power to the drive system; I’d refer to the manual to locate the correct fuse and see if it’s blackened or broken. Also, check if it’s a mode issue, like the electronic parking or speed limit mode being accidentally activated. If none of these work, it could be a more serious motor controller or sensor failure—don’t tamper with high-voltage components yourself. Instead, contact a 4S shop or professional technician for diagnosis and repair, as forcing the car to move could worsen the problem.
