How to correctly protect new energy vehicles from cold and warmth in winter?

Winter is coming, and the chill is getting stronger. New energy vehicles are no different from people, and in the cold season, the "body" function will also decline. Therefore, the cold and warmth of the vehicle is indispensable to ensure that the car is free to move in and out during the harsh winter season. So, how to properly protect your new energy vehicles from the cold and warmth in winter?

Antifreeze glass water is selected to prevent damage to the wiper motor

It is recommended to use glass water with antifreeze to avoid the glass water from freezing in particularly cold conditions.

If the glass water is frozen, it is recommended to move the vehicle to a warm environment to wait for melting, do not use the scrubber water spray function, otherwise it may burn the fuse or even damage the motor.

Adjust the tire pressure appropriately to make driving safer

New energy vehicles are more likely to lose gas due to thermal expansion and contraction, please adjust the tire pressure appropriately according to the instructions.

Cleverly charge the car to heat the battery to have a better working state

The battery temperature in winter is relatively low, and the battery is heated in advance, and the battery will have a better working state. In addition, charging indoors or when the temperature is high throughout the day is conducive to increasing battery activity and reducing the loss of cruising range. Or charging when the battery is still hot after the vehicle is used can increase the charging power and reduce the charging time.

In winter, the battery activity is low to start or brake too hard

When the vehicle starts, the battery activity is low, and the rapid acceleration and sharp braking will cause the instantaneous current to be too large, and it is necessary to pay attention to the smooth and uniform speed of the vehicle, and avoid starting too violently.

Shorter range is normal

Winter battery power loss is a conventional situation, analogous to mobile phone batteries, the principle is the same. It is recommended that consumers calculate the number of kilometers and power consumption according to their own car conditions and frequency of use to ensure the normal use of new energy vehicles.
