Reasons for the decreased range of pure electric vehicles in winter: Firstly, it is related to the internal electrodes and electrolyte of the battery. For the power battery of an electric vehicle, when the temperature is relatively low, the lower the temperature of the active material in the positive electrode, the worse its activity. The electrochemical characteristics inside the battery will cause the battery's activity to decrease rapidly, leading to an increase in internal resistance. The chemical reaction speed of lithium batteries also slows down to some extent. Therefore, for battery discharge, this results in a smaller current, increased system discharge resistance, reduced available power, and inevitably a shorter driving range. Consequently, the battery's capacity also decreases, leading to a decline in range.

What is the reason for the ABS light being on while driving?

The reasons for the ABS light being on while driving are: 1. ABS wheel speed sensor failure; 2. ABS circuit failure; 3. ABS pump or pressure regulating solenoid valve failure; 4. ABS computer failure. The function of ABS is to prevent the wheels from locking up during emergency braking. The principle of the ABS system is to use sensors on the four wheels to detect the wheel speed. If excessive braking force causes the wheels to lock up and stop rotating, the sensors will send a signal to the computer, which will then reduce the braking force on the locked wheels to allow them to rotate again. Once the wheels start rotating, the braking force is restored, and the wheels may lock up again. Through this cycle, the wheels brake in a pulsing manner, with the pulsing action occurring more than 13 times per second, preventing wheel lock-up, skidding, and loss of control.

What does the tire specification 245/55r19 mean?

Tire specification 245/55r19 refers to: 1. 245 indicates the tire width is 245 millimeters; 2. 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire as 55%; 3. r denotes a radial tire; 4. 19 signifies the rim diameter is 19 inches. The functions of tires are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Supporting vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe shocks from damaging vehicle components. Methods for maintaining car tires: 1. Regularly check tire pressure; 2. Remove debris from tire treads; 3. Inspect tire wear and replace them promptly when necessary; 4. Perform tire rotation to ensure even force distribution among all four tires and avoid excessive wear.

What are the rules for scheduling a driver's license test?

Here is a detailed introduction to the rules for scheduling a driver's license test: 1. Scheduling time for each subject: You can schedule the subject two test ten days after passing subject one. You can schedule the subject three test thirty days after passing subject one. Students can choose by themselves, and either subject can be taken first. Subject four can be scheduled at any time after passing the first three subjects. 2. Retake scheduling rules: For all subjects, retakes can be scheduled ten natural days after failing the test. 3. Other scheduling rules: The vehicle management office should arrange the test according to the scheduled test site and time. After passing subject one, the applicant can schedule subject two or subject three road driving skill test. In some places, applicants can schedule subject two and subject three road driving skill tests at the same time, and the tests can be conducted continuously after successful scheduling.

What is an Automotive Air Conditioning Circuit Diagram?

Automotive air conditioning refrigeration systems consist of components such as the compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower. These parts are connected by copper pipes and high-pressure rubber hoses to form a sealed system. During operation, the refrigerant circulates through this closed system in different states. Below is an introduction to the working process of automotive air conditioning: 1. Compression Process: The compressor draws in low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator outlet and compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is then discharged. 2. Heat Dissipation Process: The high-temperature, high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas enters the condenser, where it condenses into a liquid due to the reduction in pressure and temperature, releasing a significant amount of heat. 3. Throttling Process: The higher-temperature and higher-pressure refrigerant liquid passes through the expansion device, where its volume increases, and its pressure and temperature drop sharply, exiting the expansion device as a mist (fine droplets).

Where Does the Gap in the Front Windshield Lead To?

Generally, this gap is connected to the air conditioning vents because the air from the windshield defogging function comes out from here. Specific details are as follows: 1. Items falling in: If something falls into this gap, it will most likely end up at the air conditioning vent. If the item is very small, it might fall to the bottom of the air conditioning duct. Typically, items that fall in won’t damage any components; at worst, they might block the air deflector or cause noise while driving. Turn on the air conditioning and check the airflow—if there’s no impact or unusual noise, there’s usually no issue. 2. Avoid installing sealing strips: Installing a sealing strip would block the vent, rendering the defogging function ineffective. Additionally, much of the car’s noise comes from the internal engine, so installing sealing strips has minimal effect on noise reduction.
