Reasons why new energy vehicles cannot charge: 1. The fuse inside the battery is broken, in which case only the fuse inside the battery can be replaced; 2. Poor contact, such as poor contact between the fuse tube and the fuse holder, poor contact between the plug and socket, poor contact between the charger and power source, etc., all of which can affect the normal charging of the electric vehicle, leading to the battery not charging or not charging fully; 3. Poor contact of the plug-ins inside the battery, mainly due to problems with the connection between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. You can try re-plugging or replacing the wires. If it still doesn't work, you can only go to a 4S shop for repair; 4. The battery has reached the end of its lifespan. The lifespan of a battery is about 5 years, but if there are often incorrect charging methods, it can lead to the battery being scrapped prematurely. It is recommended to replace the battery. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new vehicle power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, forming vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures.

Sometimes my new energy vehicle won’t charge either. That time during a countryside trip, the charging gun showed no response after plugging in. First, I checked if the plug was securely inserted and confirmed the charging pile had power with normal indicator lights. Later, I discovered the vehicle had a scheduled charging function set, which only worked at midnight, preventing daytime charging. Adjusting the settings fixed the issue. Another scenario involves aging charging piles or compatibility issues with different standards, like older piles not supporting my fast-charging mode—switching to a newer charging location solved it. In cold weather, the battery may freeze and start slowly; preheating the car before charging helps significantly. If none of these work, it might be a blown fuse or poor wiring contact—handle with caution to prevent electric shock. It’s advisable to quickly check the charging pile’s status on the app and vehicle prompts before each charge, regularly clean the ports to avoid dust buildup, and develop good habits to prevent hassles. If all else fails, visit a service station for professional help—safety comes first.

As an enthusiast who enjoys delving into electric vehicles, charging failures can stem from various causes. The most common issue is contamination or oxidation of the charging port, which increases contact resistance and prevents current flow. Another reason could be a blown fuse in the protection circuit, which disconnects the charging connection when excessive current is detected. The battery management system may also halt charging if it detects abnormal parameters like excessively high temperature or voltage to ensure safety. Charging station compatibility is crucial, as fast and slow charging protocols vary between brands and can easily conflict. It's advisable to try a different charging station or check for any available updates to the vehicle's control software. Regular maintenance of the vehicle's charging components, keeping them dry and clean, can reduce the risk of corrosion. Prompt diagnosis of any issues is essential to prevent battery damage or more significant failures, saving both money and hassle in the long run.

What is the Scrap Period for Pickup Trucks?

Currently, pickup trucks are still subject to the mandatory scrapping regulation of 15 years or 600,000 kilometers. However, some regions are gradually relaxing the 15-year scrapping rule for pickups, and household pickups no longer have a scrapping period but are still subject to the 600,000-kilometer scrapping regulation. Currently, the government is gradually providing subsidies for eligible National III diesel vehicles to be phased out. Taking Hangzhou as an example, the maximum subsidy amount is 14,500 yuan, while in some regions, the scrapping subsidy for diesel pickups can be as high as 40,000 yuan per vehicle. Second-hand scrapped pickups can also enjoy subsidies. Pickup Truck Scrapping and Deregistration: The applicant must send the vehicle to be scrapped to a qualified motor vehicle recycling company for scrapping and dismantling, obtaining the "Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate." The recycling company will then process the "Motor Vehicle Deregistration Certificate" with the traffic management department of the public security bureau and notify the owner that the vehicle has been deregistered. Pickup Truck Scrapping Subsidy Application: The applicant (or an authorized agent) must go to the service window to fill out and submit the "National III Diesel Vehicle Phase-out Subsidy Fund Application Form." The following documents are required for the application: Original and photocopy of the "Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate"; Original and photocopy of the owner's ID card (for individual vehicles) or the business license (for company vehicles); Original and photocopy of the owner's bank card (with a personal signature on the photocopy) or the company's bank account opening license (with the company's official seal on the photocopy); If handled by an authorized agent, a notarized power of attorney from the owner or the company's legal representative and the original and photocopy of the agent's ID card are also required. Pickup Truck Subsidy Disbursement: After approval, the subsidy funds will be transferred to the bank account opened under the owner's (or company's) name.
