Things to know when using electric vehicles

One of the important factors to ensure the performance and prolong the life of an electric vehicle is regular maintenance. Usage habits and road conditions can affect the overall condition of the vehicle.

Therefore, users should check the vehicle for the first time after one month of use and continue to perform periodic maintenance every three months. This helps the vehicle stay in good condition, ensuring safety when using.

Electric cars have become a popular means of transport.

When the electric vehicle shows signs of abnormality, users should not arbitrarily disassemble original parts such as the engine, charger, controller, battery if they do not have experience in repairing. Especially, during the warranty period, users should go to the customer care center or dealer of the electric vehicle manufacturer for inspection.

Arbitrarily adjusting the vehicle's power level, modifying non-genuine lights, horns, and speakers can overload the power storage unit, easily causing short circuits and unsafety.

In bad weather conditions such as heavy rain or thunderstorms, users should limit traveling by electric vehicle. Braking efficiency will decrease due to longer braking time and easy to cause slipping. At the same time, users need to reduce speed and remember to turn on headlights when traveling at night.

Unusual heat is also a negative factor for electric vehicles. High road surface temperatures can shorten the life of the battery or accumulator, especially in electric vehicles with batteries located low under the floor of the vehicle. This poses a potential safety risk and reduces the performance of the vehicle.

Unusual heat or heavy rain are both bad weather conditions for electric vehicle operation.

Users should charge the battery or battery daily or at least once a week, even if the vehicle is not used for a long time. It is very important to use a stable power source when charging, do not use electricity from the generator. In addition, only use a charger of the same capacity and compatible with the vehicle's battery according to the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid letting water or any other solution seep into the charging part.

When going out on the road, electric vehicle drivers need to wear a standard helmet to protect their heads from injury in the event of an accident. A standard helmet must have a CR (QCVN) conformity stamp, ensuring it is secure and does not cause discomfort when worn.

In addition, users need to comply with basic traffic rules such as not carrying more people than the prescribed number, obeying traffic lights and not using alcohol or stimulants while driving.
