Where is the frame number of Shenghao electric four-wheeled vehicle?

The frame number is generally located at the lower left corner of the windshield, on the right side of the passenger seat, and in the engine compartment. Frame number: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or frame number, is a unique set of seventeen letters or numbers used on a vehicle to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis serial number, and other performance data. To avoid confusion with the numbers 1, 0, and 9, the letters "I", "O", and "Q" are not used. The 10th digit representing the model year does not use "I", "O", "Q", "U", "Z", or "0". Meaning of the frame number: Digits 1 to 3 (WMI) represent the world manufacturer identifier, indicating who produced the vehicle. Digits 4 to 6 represent the vehicle type, configuration, and body code. Digits 7 to 9 indicate the engine type code, transmission type, check digit (usually represented by numbers 0 to 9 or the letter "X"). Digits 10 to 11 represent the vehicle's "manufacture date", which is generally close to the actual year, and the assembly plant (0 represents original factory assembly). Digits 12 to 17 are the production sequence number, indicating the vehicle's production batch.
I often help my friends locate their electric vehicles. For example, the frame number of a Shenghao electric quadricycle is usually on the small plate by the little window at the lower left corner of the windshield. You can find it by looking carefully from the outside. If you're unsure, crouch down and use your phone's flashlight for a clearer view. There might also be a sticker on the B-pillar inside the door—just open the left front door to see the label. Be careful not to erase or cover it. The location is similar to traditional cars, but this number is crucial for ownership transfer and anti-theft purposes, so I recommend owners jot it down and take a photo as a backup in case it gets lost. Additionally, there might be backup markings near the battery compartment, but the main location is always fixed. If you can't find it for a long time, it might be obscured by weather stains and needs regular cleaning to remain legible.
Last time my neighbor's car had the same issue, and we went together to check it out. We found that Sheng Hao electric vehicle's VIN is usually located on a small label attached to the frame after opening the left front door, or you can directly look at the lower left corner of the windshield. Having driven similar models myself, I know that electric vehicles have simpler structures, but the safety design requires the VIN to remain unobstructed. I recommend checking it after parking and turning off the engine—this is both safe and convenient. Avoid doing it while driving. The VIN is crucial for annual inspections and insurance claims. If it's hard to read, you might need to clean the label with a cleaning agent or refer to the diagrams in the vehicle manual. The Sheng Hao four-wheel vehicle maintenance manual usually provides detailed instructions on the location. If the car is newly purchased, the label will be clearer, but over time it might get dirty or damaged. Address this early to avoid complications.
The chassis number of electric vehicles like Sheng Hao's four-wheel design is usually the same. I've noticed it's typically located at the far left corner of the front windshield or on the outer frame of the car door, making it quick and easy to find without tools. Since electric vehicles don't have an engine, the label position is clearer. The key is to prevent moisture corrosion; regularly inspect and maintain it. If you find it blurred, contact the service center immediately for a replacement—don't delay safety matters. The chassis number information helps prevent theft, and when selling the car, buyers should verify it carefully to ensure the vehicle's legal source. This is equally crucial for electric vehicles, as eco-friendly models are popular now, but the identification code is indispensable.
