What to do if new energy vehicles experience severe power outages in winter

Jan 02,2025

New energy vehicles experience severe power outages in winter, and the following measures can be taken to alleviate them:

1. Optimize the battery usage environment to preheat the vehicle: Before departure, use the power supply from the charging station to preheat the vehicle, or slowly drive at a constant speed for a few minutes after starting to reach the appropriate working temperature of the battery, which helps to extend the battery life and increase the range. Parking environment: Try to park vehicles indoors or in areas with high temperatures, such as underground parking lots, to reduce the impact of low temperatures on the battery, enhance the activity of the power battery, and reduce range loss.

2. Adjust driving habits and use the vehicle gently: avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and try to keep the vehicle at a relatively stable speed. Rapid acceleration and braking both increase power consumption, while smooth driving helps reduce power consumption. Reasonable use of air conditioning: Reduce the temperature setting of the air conditioning appropriately and use seat heating function to partially replace air conditioning heating to save electricity. At the same time, activating the internal circulation mode can reduce heat loss and further save electricity. Reduce driving resistance: Clean up unnecessary items on the vehicle to reduce its load and thus reduce power consumption. Maintaining appropriate tire pressure can also reduce tire rolling resistance and lower power consumption.

3. Regular maintenance and charging Regular charging: Even when not in use, new energy vehicles need to be charged regularly to ensure battery activity. If the parking time exceeds one week, it is recommended to charge at least once within a week. Choose a suitable charging environment and time: Try to charge in indoor parking lots or places with high temperatures to improve charging efficiency and reduce energy loss. Timely charging when the battery temperature is high can also help improve charging efficiency. Control charging capacity: It is best to charge the battery to 80% \ \~90% to avoid overcharging and overdischarging, in order to extend the battery's lifespan.

Through the above measures, the problem of severe power outages in winter for new energy vehicles can be alleviated to a certain extent, and the vehicle's endurance and user experience can be improved.
