Electric vehicles are powered by on-board energy sources, use electric motors to drive the wheels, and comply with all road traffic and safety regulations. The batteries used in electric vehicles are either storage batteries or fuel cells. Below is more detailed information about these batteries: 1. Storage batteries are suitable for pure electric vehicles and include lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, secondary lithium batteries, air batteries, and ternary lithium batteries. 2. Fuel cells are specifically used for fuel cell electric vehicles and include alkaline fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and direct methanol fuel cells.

How to Determine the Size of a Car's Fuel Tank?

Methods to determine the size of a car's fuel tank are: 1. Check the vehicle's manual; 2. Observe the fuel gauge. The impacts of overfilling the fuel tank include: 1. Spillage due to overfilling can lead to instant combustion if exposed to an open flame; 2. Blocking the vent hole creates negative pressure in the tank, causing poor fuel supply; 3. Gasoline entering the pipelines can cause spark plug failure, preventing the vehicle from starting; 4. Gasoline contains benzene, a carcinogen, and its volatilization can harm human health. Precautions for refueling: 1. Refuel in the morning or evening to avoid direct sunlight at noon; 2. Add more fresh fuel before long-distance trips; 3. Do not exceed the fuel tank's upper limit.

At what speed does the turbocharger start working?

For small-displacement vehicles, the turbo starts working when the speed exceeds 60km/h. Overview: A turbocharged engine refers to an engine equipped with a turbocharger. The turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases intake air volume by compressing air. Working Principle: It utilizes the inertial force of exhaust gases expelled by the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber. The turbine then drives the coaxial impeller, which compresses air delivered through the air filter pipe, pressurizing it into the cylinders. As engine speed increases, the exhaust gas velocity and turbine speed also increase synchronously, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinders. The increased air pressure and density enable the combustion of more fuel. By correspondingly increasing fuel quantity and adjusting engine speed, the engine's output power can be enhanced.

Will there be color difference in new car paint?

New car paint will have some color difference to varying degrees, which may be caused by environmental dust or the painting process not being conducted in an enclosed space. Introduction to car painting: Car painting refers to applying a layer of paint on the car's surface to protect the vehicle. Automotive paint typically uses baking paint. In automobile manufacturing plants, after the frame and body are welded, the next step is painting. Types include standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. Functions of car painting: Most automotive manufacturing materials are steel. Without the protection of paint coating, cars would inevitably experience surface rusting and other issues during long-term exposure to wind and rain, significantly reducing the vehicle's lifespan. Besides providing excellent protection, the surface coating also offers decorative benefits, enhancing the car's overall visual appeal and showcasing its unique personality.

Why Doesn't the Automatic Transmission Display the Real-Time Gear?

If the gear is not displayed, first check whether the gear and driving conditions are normal. If everything is normal, it may be an instrument panel malfunction, and you need to go to a 4S shop for inspection. Introduction to Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission usually refers to the automatic gear-shifting mechanism of a car. When driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load, thereby replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operation. Gear Categories: P, R, N, D, S, L. The most commonly used automatic gears are parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D. Principle of Automatic Transmission: The automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms for gear shifting and can automatically shift gears based on the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed.

Do You Need to Press the Accelerator When Reversing an Automatic Transmission Car?

When reversing an automatic transmission car, there is no need to press the accelerator. Simply observe the rear carefully and apply the brake. The steps for reversing an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. Press the foot brake; 2. Shift from N to R gear; 3. Release the handbrake; 4. Observe the rear route through the rearview mirror; 5. Slowly release the foot brake; 6. After reversing to the designated position, press the foot brake, pull up the handbrake, and then release the foot brake; 7. Press the foot brake and shift from R to N gear; 8. Release the foot brake. Precautions for reversing an automatic transmission car include: 1. Do not leave children alone outside the car when reversing; 2. When the accelerator is not in use, place the right foot on the brake position; 3. Observe rear obstacles in advance.
