In hot weather, the maintenance of new energy vehicles is particularly important. Here are some key maintenance tips:
1. Charging precautions
Avoid high-temperature charging: When the ambient temperature of the vehicle is higher than 35 degrees, try to avoid using fast charging and choose slow charging to keep the power battery in the best condition. This is because the power battery will be limited by current when charging at high temperatures. In order to protect the battery, the charging efficiency needs to be reduced.
Vehicle cooling after charging: After the vehicle has been driven, the temperature of the power battery will rise. If it is charged immediately in a high temperature environment, it will burden the battery. Therefore, it is recommended to park the vehicle in a cool place and wait for two to three hours before charging.
Avoid long-term low-power storage: When the remaining power of the vehicle is below 20%, it is not recommended to park it for many consecutive days because the battery will also have natural loss.
2. Vehicle parking
Avoid exposure to the sun: Long-term high-temperature exposure will damage the battery pack, affect the service life, and may cause the risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, the vehicle should be parked in a cool place as much as possible to avoid direct sunlight.
Sun protection measures: You can use sun protection and heat insulation film or sunshade to block the sun's rays and reduce the temperature inside the car.
3. Brake system inspection
Brake inspection: Summer is the time when brakes are most likely to fail, so the brake system should be checked and adjusted in time to ensure good braking performance.
4. Vehicle cooling system
Check the cooling system: The ambient temperature is high in summer, and the engine is prone to overheating after long driving. Therefore, a comprehensive inspection of the car's cooling system should be carried out to prevent boiling.
Parking and cooling: When the water temperature exceeds 100 degrees, you should park in a cool place to cool down, let the engine idle, and open the engine hood to facilitate heat dissipation.
5. Lubrication system maintenance
Lubrication inspection: In summer, the viscosity of the lubricating oil decreases, and the oxidation resistance deteriorates, resulting in poor lubrication. Therefore, the oil quantity and quality should be checked frequently in summer, and added or replaced in time.
The above maintenance tips can help new energy vehicles maintain good performance and extend their service life in hot weather.
