Battery maintenance: Battery performance will be affected in winter and the driving range will be reduced. It is recommended that car owners keep the battery fully charged in winter to avoid over-discharge and over-charging. When the battery is less than 20%, it should be charged in time to avoid the battery being in a low power state for a long time12. In addition, try to charge indoors or in a high temperature environment. If this is not possible, choose a sunny place to avoid long-term exposure of the battery in a low temperature environment23.
Cold and warm: The temperature is low in winter, and the battery and mechanical parts of electric vehicles are easily damaged. It is recommended to use antifreeze and check the cooling system regularly to ensure that the antifreeze is suitable for the local minimum temperature1. At the same time, maintain the battery temperature, use the seat heating and steering wheel heating functions, and reduce high-energy consumption behaviors such as sudden acceleration and high-speed driving13.
Chassis protection: There is more rain and snow in winter, and the road salt content is high, which is easy to corrode the chassis of electric vehicles. It is recommended to perform anti-rust care such as glazing on the chassis before winter1.
Driving habits : Winter driving should be gentle, avoid violent driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, sharp turns, and sudden braking to reduce the loss of batteries and mechanical components 24.
Tire maintenance : Check the tire condition to ensure normal tire pressure, and avoid low tire pressure that increases friction and consumes power 56. Winter tire rubber will become harder and brittle, and the friction coefficient will decrease. It is recommended to keep the tire pressure at around 2.5 6.
Parking environment : Try to park the car indoors or in a place with a higher temperature to avoid long-term exposure of the battery in a low temperature environment. If this is not possible, choose a sunny place to park 25.
Regular inspection : Regularly check the battery, electrical appliances, sockets, etc. to ensure that there is no water or dust, and remove oxides or replace plug-ins in time to avoid affecting the battery life 4.
Through the above measures, the performance and life of electric vehicles in winter can be effectively maintained to ensure their normal operation.
