The reasons why the Velite 6 Plug-in Hybrid is not selling well are as follows: The vehicle is too heavy. Plug-in hybrid vehicles adopt a parallel structure, which means adding a battery and motor to a traditional fuel-powered car. As a result, the entire powertrain becomes very heavy, requiring more energy to operate, thus diminishing the significance of a new energy vehicle. Higher initial cost: Compared to conventional fuel-powered cars or pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid models have a higher initial cost. Consumers who opt for new energy vehicles to save money may develop a negative impression of such cars. Lower resale value: A significant reason many people are reluctant to buy new energy vehicles is their lower resale value. Since new energy vehicles rely on rechargeable batteries, their range deteriorates over time due to battery degradation, often dropping to 70-80% of the original range, whereas fuel-powered cars maintain consistent performance. This results in the resale value of new energy vehicles being much lower than that of traditional fuel-powered cars.

What are the methods for defogging while driving in winter?

Methods for defogging while driving in winter: 1. Reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, using cold air to defog; 2. Lower humidity, using warm air to dry and defog; 3. Open windows for air convection; 4. Use professional defogging spray: Before using the anti-fog spray, first clean the inside of the windshield, then spray an appropriate amount of the anti-fog spray, wait for it to solidify, and wipe it clean with a clean towel. Many cars now come with a front defogging button, which uses the compressor to produce cold air and blows it onto the fogged windshield, adjusting the temperature inside the car to be similar to that outside. The advantage of this method is that it can quickly remove window fog, suitable for sudden fogging. However, its drawback is also obvious—the sudden temperature drop may cause the car glass to crack due to thermal expansion and contraction.

Why does the car make a buzzing sound when turning?

The reasons for the buzzing sound when the car is turning: 1. Insufficient lubrication in the steering column, leading to high friction; 2. Check if the power steering fluid is low; 3. Inspect if there is an issue with the universal joint; 4. The rubber bushings of the suspension stabilizer bar links may have aged and hardened; 5. The wheel bearing may be damaged. Correct methods for steering: 1. After the vehicle comes to a stop, return the steering wheel to the center position to avoid putting stress on the suspension system and tires; 2. When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to the extreme position; 3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary; try to steer only after the vehicle starts moving. Turning the steering wheel while stationary should only be used occasionally in special circumstances, such as when maneuvering out of a tight spot.
