Will the battery of an electric vehicle be damaged if left idle for a year?

1 Answers

Yes. Even if the vehicle is not started, the power battery pack of a pure electric vehicle will still experience degradation. Over time, the internal energy storage capacity of the power battery pack decreases significantly. Once the reversible materials inside the battery pack are damaged, the energy storage capacity will naturally decline, thereby affecting the lifespan of the power battery pack. In addition to the power battery pack, the vehicle's auxiliary battery (12V battery) may also suffer from discharge if left unused for a long time, leading to potential damage. Here are some precautions: 1. Disconnect the battery: For new energy vehicles (and even fuel-powered vehicles) that will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to disconnect the terminals of the 12V battery to prevent discharge and avoid failure to start the vehicle. 2. Avoid outdoor parking: Whenever possible, choose a clean indoor parking space to avoid prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions, as sunlight and rain can accelerate the aging of rubber components (such as high and low-voltage cables).

What is the reason why the HOWO heavy truck key often does not respond when starting?

If the key does not respond when starting, it is most likely due to a vehicle malfunction that requires timely repair. Carbon buildup in the vehicle: This failure to start may primarily be caused by excessive carbon deposits in the idle speed motor, intake tract, intake valves, and combustion chamber. When there is too much carbon buildup or dirt in the intake tract, the cross-sectional area of the air passage changes, leading to an overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture. This results in abnormal combustion or engine shaking after startup, or even a complete failure to start. Fuel injector leakage: The HOWO heavy truck's failure to start may also be due to fuel injector issues, such as leakage or excessive carbon buildup, causing a lean air-fuel mixture during startup and making it difficult to start. Additionally, if the carbon canister or carbon canister solenoid valve malfunctions, it can also lead to difficulty in starting.
