Why Can't the Electric Car Start?
2 Answers
The reasons and solutions for an electric car failing to start are as follows: 1. Check if the power supply is sufficient. Solution: Check the dashboard for a power display. If there is no power, simply recharge it. 2. The smart key for the vehicle is out of battery. Solution: Generally, smart keys come with a mechanical key that can be directly inserted into the keyhole to start the car. 3. The battery voltage is insufficient, out of power, or damaged. Solution: It may be necessary to use another battery to jump-start the car or employ the push-start method. Failure to start could be due to power loss from leaving the headlights on for an extended period or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. Generally, the battery should be replaced in a timely manner according to the maintenance manual.
Last time my electric car wouldn't start, and I was stomping my feet in frustration. Later I realized it might have been due to a drained small battery - that 12V battery responsible for the vehicle's electronic systems. Without power, even the dashboard won't light up. Also check the high-voltage battery's charge level; if it shows 0%, charge it immediately. Poor contact in the charging port can also prevent charging - I wiped the connector with a damp towel and it improved. Before starting, make sure the gear is in P position; once I failed to start because I had the wrong gear selected. Finally, don't overlook the car key battery - if the wireless key is dead, the car won't detect it. Getting it checked at a professional repair shop is the safest option.
