Why won't the electric car start?

Electric vehicles failing to start could be due to reasons such as insufficient battery voltage, dead battery, battery damage, or a depleted smart key battery. Below is an introduction to electric vehicles: 1. Introduction: Electric vehicles refer to automobiles that use electrical energy as their power source and are driven by electric motors, belonging to the category of new energy vehicles. 2. Types: They include Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). 3. Electric Drive: Electric vehicles are those powered by onboard power sources, using electric motors to drive the wheels, meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. They utilize electricity stored in batteries to operate. When driving the vehicle, sometimes 12 or 24 batteries are used, and sometimes more are required.
A friend of mine also encountered a startup issue while driving an electric vehicle, and he thinks there are quite a few common causes. First is insufficient battery charge—sometimes forgetting to charge or an interrupted charging session with a low battery display can be the reason. A loose charging plug or a faulty charging station might also prevent proper charging, leaving the car unable to start. Software system issues are another problem, such as a controller needing updates or having bugs, which can cause the startup process to freeze. Additionally, a dead key fob battery or signal interference can render the start button unresponsive. I recommend first checking the warning lights on the dashboard and the charging status. If the battery display shows zero, quickly find a place to recharge. If everything seems normal but the car still won’t start, don’t force it—contact the manufacturer’s customer service for remote diagnostics. Regular battery health checks are crucial; use the app to monitor the SOH (State of Health) value to prevent aging issues.
