Regarding all kinds of rectification actions for electric vehicles, many places across the country have recently begun to take action, from sales to road, all of which have been strictly investigated and controlled. Take the road inspection that car owners are most concerned about, the focus of the inspection is the illegal modification of electric bicycles, for businesses, car owners have to check, many of them are fined for unlocking the speed limit, increasing the body, and increasing the battery compartment.
Recently, Yiwu, Zhejiang Province announced a number of electric vehicle punishment cases, involving illegal modification of electric vehicles, and many businesses were fined 5,000 yuan for increasing the battery compartment and installing the back seat.
At a time when the frequency of use of electric vehicles is so high, many car owners will illegally modify and install electric vehicles in order to pursue high speed and long range. However, the reason why many places have been strictly investigating illegal modifications is because this kind of behavior is not only illegal, but also brings hidden dangers to the driving safety of the car owners. The following will give you an analysis of the harm of illegal modification of batteries and the risk of illegal modification of speed behavior, which car owners and merchants should pay attention to.
1. The harm of illegal modification of batteries
Electric vehicle modification battery refers to the replacement or modification of the original battery pack of electric vehicles to increase battery capacity, thereby improving mileage, with three major hazards:
Safety hazards: Battery modifications that have not been tested and certified by professional institutions may cause safety problems such as battery short circuit, overcharge, and overdischarge, increasing the risk of fire in electric vehicles.
Unstable battery performance: Without qualified modification, battery performance cannot be guaranteed, which may lead to problems such as shortened battery life, energy loss, and reduced charging efficiency.
Underwriting risk: If the modified battery of an electric vehicle violates the insurance contract, it may not be able to obtain compensation from the insurance company in the event of an accident.
Second, the risk of illegal modification of speed per hour
The maximum speed of the new national standard electric bicycle is 25km/h, and there are three major risks by tampering with the speed to make it exceed the specified maximum speed limit:
Safety hazards: Electric vehicles have corresponding braking systems and stability control within the design speed, and overspeed modification will make these systems fail and increase the probability of traffic accidents.
Disputes and Liability: In the event of a traffic accident, speeding modification may cause the driver to bear greater responsibility and face legal disputes and legal liabilities.
Damaged parts: Overspeeding can place additional load on the engine, drivetrain, and other components of an electric vehicle, resulting in increased wear and tear on the vehicle, reducing the life of the vehicle.
For dealers in the industry, we must carefully comply with the gist of legal operation, law enforcement departments are increasing the crackdown on violations of electric vehicle modification, through strengthening inspections, reporting and banning actions, the illegal operators, modifiers are severely punished.
From the perspective of social development, the violation of electric vehicle modification battery and speed modification poses a serious threat to traffic safety, and relevant departments need to strengthen supervision, strictly investigate modification violations, and strengthen the crackdown on such violations through publicity and education, increase law enforcement and establish a monitoring system to ensure the safety of public life and property.
