Preface As the temperature gradually decreases, new energy vehicle owners will feel that the vehicle range is shortened. What is the reason? How to maintain new energy batteries? Stay in the best condition? Aji has searched through the relevant information, so let me tell you.
Vehicle cruising range is "shortened"
First of all, as an energy storage medium, the charging and discharging of the power battery is a chemical reaction process, which will be affected by temperature during the reaction. In low temperature environment, the activity of the power battery electrode material decreases, the electrochemical reaction slows down, the discharge current becomes smaller, and the available capacity decreases, resulting in a "shortening" range. In addition, new energy vehicles ensure the heating of the air conditioner by consuming power battery power. Therefore, increased heating energy consumption will also lead to a shorter range. Tips: Don't worry too much, when the temperature returns to normal temperature, the power battery storage capacity and vehicle range will also return to normal.

Charging precautions (low temperature)
① Correctly grasp the charging time, try to ensure timely charging after using the car, and avoid vehicle breaking down due to low power; ② When charging, the charging port should be ensured to be dry and clean to avoid vehicle failure caused by rain and snow weather, and the charging port flows into rainwater; ③ Under low temperature environment, it will affect the performance of the power battery and the charging time will be extended.
Precautions for driving habits
①When the vehicle is driving at a constant speed, try to avoid rapid acceleration, frequent lane change and overtaking; ②If you need to slow down, you can slide in gear and brake slowly, and try to avoid rapid braking (the vehicle's kinetic energy recovery will be greatly reduced during rapid braking); ③When turning on a warm air conditioner in cold areas, the internal circulation mode can be enabled, and the external circulation ventilation can be switched in time, which can effectively extend the range; ④Discover whether the tire pressure is normal, and too low tire pressure will affect the range.
Precautions for parking
①Try to park vehicles in a garage with a higher temperature, and take certain heating and anti-freeze measures when necessary to maintain the activity of the power battery; ② New energy vehicles parked for a long time also need to check the power capacity regularly and charge the power battery if necessary to avoid loss of power due to long-term idleness and affecting the service life.
