To electric vehicle users - the best advice we can give you

Electric vehicles bring convenience to users travel, but they are also consumable items that wear out easily. Their service life depends on the quality of the product itself and the daily maintenance of the user. For users, buying an electric vehicle means not only the convenience it brings but also accepting the possible trouble in later use. So if you want more convenience and less trouble in daily use, pay attention to the following points:

1. Motor 

The motor is the component that converts the electric energy in the battery into mechanical energy to drive the wheels of the electric vehicle. It also needs regular care,

1. Pay attention to whether you ride with the brakes engaged. Riding with the brakes on makes the motor work under load and heat up, causing the magnetic steel to demagnetize, which weakens the vehicle and shortens the driving range!

2. If the motor makes noise, repair it in time and check the bearings, so that the steel balls inside the bearings do not roll out and cut the coil, which would scrap the motor.

3. Try not to ride through water. The motor is not as well sealed as we imagine; water gets in easily but is hard to get out. If water stays inside for a long time, the magnetic steel will rust and the bearings will break easily, causing more power consumption, a hotter motor and a shorter mileage!

2. Controller

The controller is the component that regulates the motor speed and the core of the electric system of the vehicle, providing protection functions such as brake power cutoff, low-voltage protection, low-voltage recovery value setting, and overcurrent protection. Note that the controller should be kept as dry as possible to prevent water ingress. The controller consists of many small components; if water gets in and causes a short circuit, it will burn out. Also check whether the connectors make firm contact to avoid loose-contact sparking and fire hazards (when installing the controller, it is best to tin-weld the motor power line and the main power line). In addition, check whether the brake power cutoff works to ensure that the controller runs normally without strain.
 

3. Charging

1. Now many households have two or even more electric vehicles of different brands and models, with different battery models, so the chargers also differ and are not interchangeable. The correct practice is to use a dedicated charger for each vehicle. However, some users often mix chargers during use; mismatched charging voltage and current will cause great damage to the battery.

2. In addition, many cities have a large number of fast charging stations. On the one hand they bring convenience to users; on the other hand, the high-current charging of fast charging stations causes severe gassing and water loss of the battery, and long-term use is also an important reason for battery swelling. Users report that a newly replaced battery swelled within half a year, and it was finally found to be the result of repeated use of fast charging stations.

4. Battery 

1. Do not charge for too long in daily use. In summer, high temperatures increase the risk of thermal runaway of the battery. Many users charge overnight for convenience, with charging time often exceeding 12 hours, and sometimes forgetting to cut off the power so that it exceeds 20 hours. This will inevitably cause great damage to the battery. The best normal practice is to keep floating charging for 2 hours after the charger light switches from red to green.

2. If the battery is not used for a long time, it is best to recharge it every two months to avoid irreversible sulfation caused by prolonged discharged state that kills the battery. After one and a half to two years of use, it is best to add replenishing fluid to the battery to extend its life.

3. Choosing the battery matters. A high-quality battery saves you a lot of trouble, for example, Xupai batteries.

Xupai batteries are of solid quality with good service. Sales, service, customer service, technical support, and repair are very well established, providing consumers with better after-sales service.

Whether a vehicle lasts long depends on whether the owner cherishes it. Take care of your vehicle in every detail just like a family member, and its service life will be longer. Let yourself love the electric vehicle, let the charger care for the battery, let the battery love the controller, and let the controller protect the motor.
