I just bought a European electric car, and it's very cold now. Can someone tell me what I need to pay attention to when riding an electric car?

There are still many things to pay attention to in winter.

Normal use in winter, maintenance is very important

The reporter went to Da 'nan Street in Shenhe District, where the sales of electric bicycles are concentrated. According to some merchants, electric bicycles have hardly been sold since winter. Sometimes they can sell seven or eight sets a day in summer, but now it's good to sell one set in three or four days. The reason for poor sales is that many consumers think that the battery of electric bicycles shrinks in winter and the cars can't ride. A female shopkeeper in wang xing, who is in charge of selling a well-known brand of electric vehicles, said that most of the electric bicycles sold in Shenyang market use lead-acid batteries, and the storage capacity of an ordinary lead-acid battery decreases in winter. However, if the battery is used correctly, the electric vehicle can run normally at the temperature of around -20℃ in winter in Shenyang. Of course, the usual maintenance is also very important.

◆ Don't be short of electricity, and charge it every night.

When the temperature is too low, it is necessary to shorten the use time of electric vehicles as much as possible and charge them in time. Therefore, when riding an electric car in winter, don't leave the battery in a state of insufficient power for a long time. No matter how many trips every day, you should develop a good habit of charging in time at night. At the same time, it is best not to leave the battery idle for a long time. If you don't use the electric bicycle in winter, it's best to charge the battery every other month to ensure the storage capacity of the lead-acid battery and avoid the battery from being damaged by acid overflow.

In winter, when the electric vehicle is initially started, it must be assisted by the pedal, and it must not be "zero-started" to avoid a large amount of current discharge, otherwise it will cause great damage to the battery. On the premise of ensuring driving safety, try to reduce the number of braking and avoid frequent starting, so as not to affect the service life of the battery. If you encounter bad road conditions such as slippery roads in snowy days, or when driving uphill, against the wind or under heavy load, you should try to ride with manpower to avoid impact damage to the battery. In addition, don't accidentally damage the electric bicycle. Turn off the switch after getting off the bus, keep the inner tube pressure sufficient, avoid long-term exposure to the sun, and avoid storage in high humidity and corrosive environment.

◆ It is easy to get sick in winter and there are too few maintenance points.

Can an electric bicycle go on the road in rain and snow? According to Ms. Wang, the general electric bicycle has fully considered the waterproof problem in the research and development process, and adopted corresponding waterproof measures, which can basically be used in rainy and snowy days. However, when the accumulated water reaches the central axle of the rear wheel, it will cause short circuit in the whole vehicle and damage the motor. In addition, it is best not to get wet outdoors for a long time. We must pay attention to these two points.
