The maintenance and upkeep of new energy vehicles mainly include the following aspects:
1. Battery maintenance: Charging management: Understand the battery level and arrange charging reasonably, avoid long-term deep discharge, and maintain shallow cycling of the battery. The charging time should not be too long to avoid overcharging causing the battery to heat up and shorten its service life. When the power meter shows a red or yellow light, it should be charged in a timely manner. Charger maintenance: When using the charger, carefully read the user manual, keep the charger ventilated, and avoid overheating. Regularly check the condition of the plug to ensure good contact and prevent short circuits or poor contact caused by overheating of the plug. Battery storage: To avoid the battery being in a depleted state for a long time, it should be stored at a certain level of power. When not in use for a long time, the battery should be charged once a month to maintain its activity and prevent sulfation. Avoid high current discharge: In situations such as starting, carrying people, and uphill driving, avoid stepping on the accelerator suddenly to accelerate, in order to reduce the damage of instantaneous high current discharge to the battery.
2. Body and component maintenance: Appearance inspection: Regularly check the function of the car lights, the aging of the wiper rubber strip, and whether the car paint is damaged to ensure that the appearance of the vehicle is intact. Chassis inspection: Check whether the transmission components, suspension, and connecting parts of the chassis are loose or aging, to ensure the stability of the chassis structure. Tire maintenance: Regularly check the tire pressure, cracks, wounds, and wear to keep the tires in good condition. Oil replacement: The electric vehicle antifreeze is used to cool the motor and needs to be replaced regularly according to the manufacturer's specified time. Meanwhile, gear oil also needs to be replaced regularly. Cabin inspection: Check for any aging or loose connections in the wiring harnesses inside the cabin to ensure the normal operation of the electrical system. Be careful not to clean the interior of the engine room with water.
3. Daily use and maintenance: Proper driving: Control the speed of the vehicle, avoid aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration and braking, in order to reduce battery damage and wear on vehicle components. Waterproof measures: When cleaning vehicles, special attention should be paid to preventing water from flowing into sensitive areas such as charging sockets inside the vehicle to ensure the safety of the electrical system. Regular maintenance: Conduct regular maintenance according to the vehicle manual or manufacturer's recommended maintenance cycle, including replacing oil, checking the wear of chassis, tires and other components. Safety precautions: During charging and use, pay attention to electrical safety and avoid potential hazards such as fire sources. When battery failure or other abnormal situations are discovered, professional personnel should be contacted in a timely manner for maintenance.
