Consumer Tips for New Energy Electric Vehicles

Consumer Tips for New Energy Electric Vehicles

1, multi-angle consideration is more rational.

China Consumers Association reminds consumers to pay more attention to the cruising range and charging of new energy electric vehicles.

Before buying new energy electric vehicles, we should compare the configuration performance, cruising range, after-sales service and sales evaluation of different brands from different angles. We can make comprehensive decisions by going to the store for consultation, searching online, evaluating and comparing, driving and testing. , combined with subsidy policy, corporate publicity, consumer word of mouth and other information. If consumers rent license plates and choose to buy cars by renting or selling battery packs, it is best to sign an agreement with relevant parties to clarify the rights and obligations of all parties.

In order to ensure timely and convenient charging after buying a car, it is suggested to consult the community in advance whether it supports the installation of private charging piles, or check the supporting construction of public charging piles around houses and offices to meet the daily commuting and life travel needs.

For new energy electric vehicle brands with frequent consumer disputes, inadequate after-sales service, easy damage to vehicle spare parts, frequent failures and even serious accidents, we should carefully choose.

2. Develop good habits and use the car safer.

China Consumers Association reminds consumers to develop good habits of using new energy electric vehicles.

When charging vehicles, choose charging piles that meet the national safety standards, stay away from inflammable and explosive materials, and avoid potential safety hazards. Especially in rainy and snowy weather, it is necessary to ensure that the charging gun head and vehicle charging port are clean and dry before charging. Pay attention to keep the environment ventilated when charging indoors. When charging outdoors, be careful not to let rain or snow water flow into the charging port, so as not to cause short circuit inside the charging interface and affect the service life of the battery.

3, the operation should be proper, and the battery life should be more solid.

The battery characteristics of new energy electric vehicles should be fully considered in starting, stopping, charging and driving operations. Before going out, after starting the new energy electric vehicle, let the circuit and battery pack warm up for 1-2 minutes, so that the battery pack can reach a more suitable working state, which is conducive to prolonging the battery life and endurance function. Due to the low efficiency of battery charging and discharging in winter, new energy electric vehicles should try to choose a relatively suitable temperature environment, such as indoor parking lot or sunny outdoor parking lot, in order to improve battery activity, reduce battery life loss and improve charging efficiency.

4. It is more convenient to charge with a charging pile.

Consumers should comprehensively consider safety, regularity and convenience when using charging piles.

The problem of battery life and charging has always been one of the main pain points for owners of new energy electric vehicles. The most convenient way is to install private charging piles conditionally. At present, many communities can support the installation of charging piles in fixed parking spaces, so it is best to consult and confirm with the property in advance. When using charging gun equipment, observe and check whether the charging pile equipment has fault prompts and exposed metal conductors in advance, and if so, stop using it immediately.

5. Verify whether the rights of the certificate are guaranteed.

When purchasing a new energy electric vehicle and a supporting charging pile installation service, we should sign a contract carefully, carefully check the vouchers and keep them properly.

In recent years, government departments at all levels have issued a series of preferential policies, which consumers can pay attention to before buying a car for comparison and understanding. When buying a car, you should pay attention to the publicity information and sales requirements of the relevant vehicle brands, and whether there are exaggerated publicity, induced sales, intentional tying or bundled sales.
