Can I ride an electric car in cold weather?

1, charge frequently in cold weather. Don't wait until the battery runs out, it will hurt the battery. The temperature drop will have a direct impact on the battery capacity of electric vehicles. In summer, charging once every three days may be enough. It may not be enough now. It needs to be recharged once a day. Don't wait for the electric car to run out of power, which will not only affect the normal use, but also damage the battery.

2. The electric car can't run far in cold weather, not necessarily because the battery is broken, but because it will recover when the temperature rises. The ideal driving environment of electric vehicles is about 25℃, which is why most people think that electric vehicles run far in summer. But now that the temperature drops sharply, the capacity of the battery will also drop significantly.

When the temperature is 0℃, the battery capacity is only about 70% of the normal value. The temperature drops below zero 1℃, and the battery capacity drops 1%. The lower the temperature, the lower the battery capacity. The lower the battery capacity, the shorter the mileage of electric vehicles. This is a normal phenomenon, not a broken battery. After the temperature rises in spring, the mileage of electric vehicles will gradually return to normal.

Extended data:

When starting or going uphill, try to assist manually or accelerate slowly. When the electric car starts uphill in winter, if there is a pedal, try to use it. If there is no pedal, it will accelerate slowly and evenly. Don't suddenly turn the knob to the end, otherwise it will increase power consumption due to high current discharge and may also "strain" the battery.

Charging the electric car, preferably not outdoors, should be controlled within 10 hour. It can float for 1-2 hours after turning on the light. It is cold when charging electric vehicles, so it is not recommended to charge them outdoors. When charging an electric car, the charger can float for 1-2 hours after turning on the light. Be careful not to charge for too long, which will also cause damage to the battery.

Electric vehicles in cold weather should have at least 30% power and be charged in time. When riding an electric car in cold weather, the capacity in the battery should not be less than 25%. If it is less than 25%, it will damage the battery and affect its service life.
