Consumer Tips for New Energy Electric Vehicles

Tips for consumption of new energy electric vehicles

1. Consider and choose more rationally from multiple angles

Consumers Association reminds consumers to pay more attention to the cruising range and charging conditions of new energy electric vehicles.

before purchasing new energy electric vehicles, we should investigate and compare the configuration performance, cruising range, after-sales service, sales evaluation and other contents of different brands from different angles. We can make a comprehensive decision by going to the store for consultation, online search, evaluation comparison, self-test drive, etc., combined with subsidy policies, corporate publicity, consumer reputation and other information. Consumers who rent the license plate number, choose the whole vehicle or the battery pack "to rent for sale", etc., should sign an agreement with the relevant parties to clarify the rights and obligations of all parties.

In order to ensure timely and convenient charging after buying a car, it is suggested to consult in advance whether the residential area supports the installation of private charging piles, or check the supporting construction of public charging piles around the residence and office to meet the needs of daily commuting, life and travel.

For brands of new energy electric vehicles with frequent consumer disputes, inadequate after-sales service, easily damaged vehicle spare parts, frequent breakdowns and even serious accidents, we should choose carefully.

2. It's safer to get into good habits

China Consumers Association reminds consumers to get into good habits of using new energy electric vehicles.

when charging vehicles, choose charging piles that meet the national safety standards, and stay away from inflammable and explosive materials to avoid potential safety hazards. Especially in rainy and snowy weather, it is necessary to ensure that the charging gun head and the vehicle charging port are clean and dry before charging. When charging indoors, attention should be paid to keeping the environment ventilated. When charging outdoors, attention should be paid not to let rain or snow water flow into the charging port, so as not to cause short circuit inside the charging interface and affect the service life of the battery.

3, the operation should be proper and the battery life should be more solid

In the starting, parking, charging, driving and other operations, the battery characteristics of new energy electric vehicles should be fully considered. Before going out, let the circuit and battery pack warm up for 1-2 minutes after starting the new energy electric vehicle, so that the battery pack can reach more suitable working conditions, which is conducive to prolonging the battery life and endurance function. Due to the low charging and discharging efficiency of batteries in winter, the charging or parking of new energy electric vehicles should try to choose a relatively suitable temperature environment, such as indoor parking lot or sunny outdoor parking lot, in order to improve battery activity, reduce battery life loss and improve charging efficiency.

4. It is more convenient to charge with charging piles

When using charging piles, consumers should comprehensively consider safety, regularity and convenience.

battery life and charging have always been one of the main pain points for new energy electric vehicle owners. The most convenient way is to install private charging piles conditionally. At present, many communities can support the installation of charging piles in fixed parking spaces, so it is best to consult and confirm with the property in advance. When using the charging gun equipment, observe and check whether the charging pile equipment has fault prompts and exposed metal conductors in advance, and if so, stop using it immediately.

5. Verify that the rights of the vouchers are guaranteed.

When purchasing new energy electric vehicles and purchasing supporting charging pile installation services, you should sign a contract carefully, carefully check the vouchers and keep them properly.

In recent years, government departments at all levels have issued a series of preferential policies, which consumers can pay due attention to before buying a car. When buying a car, you should pay attention to the publicity information and sales requirements of the relevant vehicle brands, and whether there are exaggerated publicity, induced sales, deliberate tying or bundled sales.
