An essential guide for new energy car owners to travel in summer!

Pay attention to the temperature of the vehicle's battery pack and cooling system

When driving in the summer, be sure to pay attention to the vehicle battery's cooling system, including air cooling or water cooling mechanisms. Once the cooling system warning light comes on, be sure to send the vehicle to a professional repair station for inspection and repair as soon as possible. During the charging process, the upper limit of the battery's safe temperature is 55 degrees Celsius. When facing a high temperature environment, avoid charging when the battery is overheated, but wait until its temperature drops to a suitable level before continuing. If the battery temperature exceeds 55°C while driving, immediately find a safe place to stop, turn off the engine (disconnect the power), and consult the vehicle after-sales service by phone to obtain professional guidance before proceeding.

Drive smoothly and avoid aggressive driving

During driving, it is best to avoid frequent speed changes. Although most electric vehicles are equipped with energy recovery functions, every "flooring" or "floor braking" during driving may still cause "violent charging" and "violent discharging" of the battery, which will have a negative impact on the battery. In order to maximize the life of the battery, it is recommended that car owners try to maintain a smooth and even driving style in daily driving.

In addition, regular inspection and maintenance of the battery management system (BMS) is also key to extending battery life. The BMS can monitor the health of the battery and prevent overcharging or over-discharging. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain the proper charge level and avoid leaving the battery in a state close to full or empty for a long time. When charging, avoid starting charging when the battery is too low, which can also reduce the pressure on the battery.

Avoid parking your vehicle for long periods of time when the battery is low

Avoiding parking your electric car for long periods of time at low charge is an important aspect of extending battery life. The battery of an electric car will naturally discharge over time, and if it is parked for a long time at low charge, the battery may over-discharge, which will cause unnecessary stress and damage to the battery.

Therefore, when parking your electric car, it is best to keep the battery charge at an appropriate level, and it is generally recommended to keep the battery charge at 40%-70%. If you need to park your electric car for a long time, try to keep the battery charge at a moderate level and start the car regularly to recharge the battery.

In addition, when parking your electric car, place it in a proper environment and avoid direct exposure to sunlight or low temperatures. A cool and dry place is usually the best choice for parking your electric car.

In short, avoiding parking your electric car for a long time when it is low on power, and regularly checking and maintaining the battery can help increase the life of your electric car battery.

Use charging piles from regular manufacturers

To ensure the battery safety and charging quality of electric vehicles, please try to go to regular charging stations and use quality-guaranteed charging piles for charging. These charging facilities often have high-quality equipment and professional maintenance, which can ensure that your electric vehicle receives safe and reliable charging services.

In addition, using regular charging facilities can also achieve faster charging speeds, more effective charging management, and more accurate charging status display.

By taking these steps

you can prepare your vehicle for the best possible conditions

and enjoy peace of mind and peace of mind while travelling
