At the moment of the first ignition start of the internal combustion engine vehicle, all kinds of structures begin to wear. The manufacturer of automobile muffler tells you that all parts and consumables, including engine oil, must be replaced when driving a certain mileage. What about electric cars? Because its structure is different from that of diesel locomotive, there is no difference in some places and some places.

Electric vehicles have no engine and transmission, and the maintenance burden is lower than that of internal combustion engines.

There is a "cloud and mud" difference between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles. Unlike internal combustion engine vehicles that burn fossil fuels to provide power, electric vehicles rely on the electric energy stored in the battery to drive the motor. Based on this difference, driving electric vehicles is completely different from before. Unlike the internal combustion engine car, it doesn't care at all. There are places that need special attention.

What is the difference between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles?

Electric cars have fewer parts. A diesel locomotive usually needs 20000 to 30000 parts. In comparison, electric vehicles have only more than 10000 parts, and may be further reduced to about 7000 in the future. Engines and transmissions, even parts related to fuel supply, intake and exhaust, such as pistons, valves and gears, are not used. Generally speaking, in addition to batteries and motors, only parts related to transmission, braking and climate control are required, and the factors requiring maintenance and replacement will be greatly reduced.

If various types of engine oil are not changed according to a certain mileage, internal combustion engine vehicles will have functional failure. However, electric vehicles simply do not have engine oil and gear oil, so there is no need to consider the replacement problem. Electric vehicles also need braking, but the braking frequency is lower than that of diesel locomotives, because regenerative braking can be used during deceleration and parking. In other words, electric vehicles do not need to change brake fluid and brake pads frequently.

What is the difference between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles?

The car muffler company learned that the driving of electric vehicles depends on the power stored in the battery to drive the motor, rather than fuel and engine.

Electric vehicles have no radiator and do not need coolant. Maintenance is simple, but in winter, no engine has become a disadvantage. It uses the heat generated by the engine to blow hot air into the car, but electric vehicles, like electric heaters, need additional energy to generate heat. In winter, the battery consumes a lot of power, thus reducing the mileage. If the battery power drops during a long journey, you have to turn off the heater and suffer from cold and anxiety. Winter is not good for electric car drivers.

However, the noise of electric vehicles is very small, or even no noise at all. This alone is enough to make people excited. No matter how much the engine wants sound insulation, it can only stand the noise of the engine. In addition, the older the model, the greater the clearance of the engine part, and the older the car muffler, the greater the noise. From this point of view, the repair and maintenance cost of electric vehicles is still relatively low.

Brakes and tires are still important in electric vehicles.

How about the tread? As for tires, whether diesel locomotives or electric vehicles, the replacement cycle is similar. The importance of tires is not excessive for any vehicle, but considering that electric vehicles are usually heavier than internal combustion engines, and electric motors can provide high torque from the beginning. Jinhu tire has developed many tires with low rolling resistance, low noise and good wear resistance, such as the 2014 Korean electric vehicle tire "wattrun". Jinhu wattrunvs31 has won the official award of the 2018 German Red Dot Design Award. It is needless to say the technical and design level.

In fact, it can also be said that the performance of the battery is equivalent to that of the electric vehicle, so we should pay attention to keeping the battery in a state and prolonging the service life of the battery. The battery management system (BMS) installed on the electric vehicle can control the risk of overcharge. The performance and life of the battery also depend on the maintenance of the vehicle (including driving and charging). The owner still needs to manage it carefully.

What is the difference between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles?

The first step of electric vehicle battery maintenance is to charge the battery frequently.

Charge your battery. It is recommended that you charge it regularly to prolong the battery life. Your car won't start until it's completely powered off. If the battery runs out, don't stay there for a long time. Because the longer the discharge time, the worse the performance of the battery. Another battery that is very sensitive to external temperature. Another way to prolong battery life is to stop the electric vehicle at the appropriate temperature to avoid too high or too low temperature.
