Common sense of using new energy vehicles in winter

The cold winter is coming and the temperature is getting lower and lower. Facing this cold winter, it is very important to use cars correctly. The following small series will sort out the tips for using new energy vehicles in winter ~

Skills of extending cruising range

The charging environment temperature determines the cruising range. Charging indoors or when the temperature is high in a day is beneficial to improve battery activity and reduce the loss of cruising range. Or when the battery still has residual heat after using the electric vehicle, the charging power can be improved and the charging time can be shortened.

Skills of using antifreeze and glass water

Different specifications of glass water are suitable for different temperatures, so it is recommended to choose glass water that matches the local temperature. If the glass water freezes, it is recommended to move the vehicle to a warm environment and wait for it to melt. Do not use the water spraying function of the scrubber, otherwise it may burn the fuse or even damage the motor.

Different brands, models and colors of antifreeze cannot be mixed, and the specific specifications can be confirmed by contacting the dealer according to the model. If water has been added in the process of using the car, it is recommended to replace the antifreeze, because water will scale and freeze below zero in winter, thus damaging the water tank and radiator.

Techniques for increasing or decreasing tire pressure

The decrease in temperature causes the rubber tire to become hard and brittle. If the air pressure is too low, the tire will become soft, which will accelerate the aging at low temperature. Reasonable pressurization, too low tire pressure will lead to tire deformation, damage and puncture. Be sure to clean the inclusions in the tire tread to ensure that the tire will not be punctured.

Techniques for reducing energy consumption

Avoid rough driving such as emergency acceleration and emergency braking when driving, which can avoid shortening the cruising range. Starting, accelerating, decelerating, stopping and parking of the vehicle are realized through the accelerator pedal, which reduces the frequent switching between the accelerator and the brake and effectively reduces the energy loss.

Skills to prolong battery life

The lower the temperature, the more serious the storage capacity of the battery will be. When the car is not in use, the battery can be fully charged in advance and kept constantly charged to ensure the activity of the battery. Entering the room or charging when the temperature is high that day is beneficial to improve the battery activity and speed up the charging time.

Winter car maintenance skills

New energy vehicles also need hot cars. The vehicle should be left at a low temperature for one night, and wait for 1-2 minutes after power-on, so that the circuit and battery pack of the vehicle can be warmed up for a period of time, thus better prolonging the service life of the vehicle and reducing the consumption of a lot of electric energy.

Window defogging skills

When the temperature is low, the window is prone to fog, so you can wipe off the fog on the glass before driving. In order to prevent the fog from regenerating, you can open the window to leave a gap, use the convection of air inside and outside the car to accelerate the circulation of air inside the car to eliminate the fog, or turn on the warm air on the front windshield to blow against the glass to remove the fog.

In addition to paying attention to the use skills of the car itself, it is also necessary to make a good travel plan and plan the route to avoid the problem of breaking down halfway due to insufficient battery life. According to your own car condition and frequency of use, calculate the mileage and power consumption to ensure that your car can serve you normally.

There is more rain and snow in winter, so pay attention to safety when traveling ~
