Where is the spare tire for new energy vehicles?
2 Answers
The spare tire for new energy vehicles is located under the spare tire mat in the trunk. Driving distance: Generally, a car can drive 30-50 kilometers with a non-full-size spare tire. A non-full-size spare tire is only for temporary use, and driving too long a distance can easily cause safety hazards. When replacing a non-full-size spare tire: Try not to drive too many miles, and do not drive too fast. You should choose a nearby repair shop to repair or replace the original tire. Try to install it on a non-driving wheel, otherwise it will affect the car's handling and easily cause safety hazards. Full-size spare tire meaning: A full-size spare tire is the same as the tire normally used on the car, and they can be freely replaced without affecting the car's driving. Non-full-size spare tires are narrower and smaller than the tires normally used on the car, so the cost is relatively low, and they are generally used more in mid- to low-end cars.
The location of the spare tire in new energy vehicles is actually quite interesting. Many new energy vehicles, such as electric cars and hybrids, don't come with a spare tire at all, mainly to save space for more batteries to increase range. If you're looking for a spare tire, it's usually hidden under the trunk floor or on the vehicle's underbody frame. However, it's now popular to replace it with a tire repair kit, which includes sealant and an air pump. In an emergency, you can simply inject the liquid into the tire to temporarily seal the leak. When I drove a new energy vehicle before, the manual said the spare tire was in the spare tire carrier, but you had to clear out all the clutter to see it. If the car really doesn't have a spare tire, it's recommended to check before driving. In case of a flat tire, these alternatives are more lightweight and efficient than dragging around an old spare tire. After all, less weight means lower energy consumption and a smoother ride.
