Here are the reasons why an electric car has power but cannot move: 1. Controller damage: If the controller of the electric car is damaged, it can cause the wheels to not rotate even when there is power. 2. Motor failure: If the motor of the electric car malfunctions, such as poor contact of the motor carbon brushes, it can also result in the car not moving despite having power. Additionally, damage to the motor Hall sensor can cause the same issue. 3. Throttle issue: Problems with the throttle of the electric car, such as using a wire to short the throttle's positive and signal lines—if the car moves, it proves the throttle is faulty. A faulty throttle can also prevent the electric car from moving even when it has power.

What are the effects of aging car belts?

Belt aging can cause the valves and ignition system to stop functioning. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function stoppage: Once the belt is damaged, the operation of the valves and ignition system will cease or become erratic, causing the engine to stop working. Additionally, if the engine's valve movement is designed to overlap with the piston's top dead center. 2. Timing belt: If the timing belt breaks, due to inertia, the crankshaft will continue to drive the pistons up and down, while the valves remain stationary because the camshaft stops. The valves may stop at their lowest point; when the piston of this cylinder moves to the top dead center, it may collide with the valves. The top of the valve is a solid cam that cannot move, resulting in bent valve stems, dented piston tops, and in severe cases, damage to the cylinder head. If this occurs, the engine will require major repairs.

Why is the Buick Regal's air conditioning not cooling?

Buick Regal's air conditioning not cooling reasons are as follows: 1. Refrigerant loss: Check for refrigerant loss. The refrigerant in the air conditioning system, commonly known as Freon, has a decay cycle. Generally, better-quality refrigerant has a decay cycle of 3-5 years. Moreover, the air conditioning system is not completely sealed. Even in well-sealed systems, there is an annual loss of 5%-8%. 2. Poor radiator cooling: During vehicle use, wear and tear are unavoidable, and sometimes the cleanliness of the car air conditioning radiator is easily overlooked. However, many air conditioning failures are caused by radiator blockage, so it's advisable to clean the radiator regularly during car washes. 3. Compressor failure: The car air conditioning compressor, also known as the air conditioning pump, is like the heart of the air conditioning system. If the compressor fails, it indicates a major issue with the car's air conditioning, though this situation is not very common.

What to Do When Brakes Suddenly Fail While Driving Downhill?

When brakes suddenly fail while driving downhill, promptly utilize engine braking to decelerate. If the brake pedal fails, you can also downshift in time to reduce engine speed and thereby lower the vehicle speed. If the vehicle is moving at high speed, avoid skipping gears when downshifting. Instead, downshift one gear at a time, as directly shifting from a high gear to first or second gear can cause severe jerking of the vehicle, potentially injuring occupants. Relevant information about braking is as follows: 1. Introduction: Refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. 2. Principle: The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force.
