Tips To Maintain EV Car During Summer
Have you purchased an electric vehicle? but don’t know how to maintain it. Because it does not work like a normal petrol car. It works a little differently. How can you maintain it, and how can you get maximum mileage from your electric vehicle’s battery? Today in this blog, we are going to discuss.
Engine Bay
Talking about the engine bay, it is not a normal engine bay. It does not have an engine, it consists of motor and electrical components. The first tip is that you should not allow water to get inside the engine bay. If you use even a little water with a pressure washer, the electrical components may become loose, and the connection to your vehicle’s battery may be lost.
Charger Points
The biggest problem people face is that they do not find charger points on the way. Whenever you are planning a trip, plan the charger network and first find out how many charger points are there on the route you are going on. What is the distance, and how much time will it take?
Car Charging
When you are charging the car, try to keep it between 20% to 80%; do not let it go below 20% and above 80%. This will improve the health of your battery.
Electric Vehicles Catching Fire
You must have heard a lot of news on the internet about electric vehicles catching fire. The biggest reason for fire is the extra accessories that you get installed from the aftermarket. When you get accessories installed from the market, something goes wrong somewhere, due to which the vehicle catches fire. So do not get any accessories fitted by Martek. Use only that which comes from the company.
Fire Extinguishers
Nowadays, fire extinguishers are available to be installed in the bonnet, which automatically activate in case of fire and extinguish the fire. By installing them in your car, you can save your car to some extent.
Use of Jack
Battery packs
Jack Point
The tires of electric vehicles also get punctured, and the biggest problem is that we do not know where to put the jack. There is a battery pack under this vehicle. If you put the jack at the wrong place, then the battery pack can be damaged. So where should the jack be placed?
There is an indicator below the vehicle. You can place the jack below it and lift your vehicle. This will not cause any harm to the battery, and your vehicle will also lift easily.
Park in the shade
Whenever you park your car, park it in a shady area so that the car will remain cool. It is very important to keep the car cool because the car comes with a battery pack. In which an automatic air conditioning system is installed below. When the temperature of the battery pack increases slightly, the air conditioning automatically turns on and tries to cool the battery pack, which consumes the battery. When the vehicle is parked inside the shade, the battery pack will not heat up and the AC will not run, hence the battery will not be consumed.
Slow Charger
Whenever you charge your car with a fast charger, keep one thing in mind: whenever you get a chance or have time, charge the car with a slow charger. With this, the battery management system will charge all the cells equally, which will increase the life of the battery cells.
