As an important travel tool, electric vehicles cannot be used in rainy days. However, there are certain hidden dangers in rainy days. On the one hand, the environment is complicated and the riding risk increases; on the other hand, if the water is too deep, it may It will cause damage to some parts of the electric vehicle. Therefore, there are some things to pay special attention to when using a car on rainy days.

On rainy days, the sky is gloomy, so you must pay attention to the use of lights. The first is the turn signal. Some people do not have the habit of turning on the turn signal when turning and changing lanes. According to statistics from the traffic department, many of the traffic accidents caused by electric vehicles are due to random steering and no turn signal to indicate that the motor vehicles are behind. The accident caused by completely unprepared, therefore, the use of turn signals cannot be ignored. At the same time, the headlights are also extremely important. The visibility is poor in rainy days. Turning on the electric car lights not only allows us to see the road more clearly, but also allows others to notice us. Then, it is necessary to select high-brightness and wide-angle electric vehicle lights-Luyuan's graphene wide-angle headlights have doubled the brightness and increased the illumination angle from 25° to 50°, which can effectively solve the problem of lighting blind spots. In addition, the cut-off line of light and dark is more obvious, and the highlight is not dazzling, which can ensure that others notice us clearly, and it is safer to drive on rainy days.

When the road is slippery in rain, pay attention to the brakes. If the brakes are too fast, the wheels will easily slip, so slow down, judge the road conditions early, avoid emergency braking, and do not brake to the end, but gradually increase the braking force. For the wet and slippery road conditions in rain and snow, Luyuan introduced the linkage ceramic brake. Through the CBS linkage brake system, the single-hand brake and the front and rear wheels can also be braked at the same time, which can effectively avoid the sideslip and tail flick that are prone to occur on wet and slippery roads. ; And the linkage ceramic brake has a certain degree of waterproof and anti-sand. The seal ring and waterproof groove anti-sand design are added to the motor end cover to effectively prevent the intrusion of rain, cement and sand in rainy days, thereby prolonging the service life of the brake.

Electric vehicles have a certain degree of waterproof performance, but you should avoid wading too deep in rainy days, because if the battery, motor and other important components are severely damp or flooded, it may cause the horn to not sound, the brakes to fail, and the controller to not work properly, etc. problem. Therefore, it is best not to drive hard on the road with serious water accumulation, and pay attention to avoid potholes with deep water accumulation. If the electric vehicle has serious wading on rainy days, it is recommended to go to a professional store to check the battery, motor, controller and other important components.

There are some small details worth noting. For example, do not hang heavy objects on the handlebars when driving on a rainy day to avoid operation loss of control and accidents; do not use an umbrella. It is dangerous to control the vehicle with one hand. You can wear a raincoat. Put it on, put it on the front of the car, and put it on your body. Turn the handlebar left and right to make sure the raincoat is loose enough and the steering is not restricted.

In addition, there are some precautions after using the car on rainy days. Try to park the electric car in a covered place such as a carport. If you can only park it outdoors, it is best to cover the electric car with a rain cover or a plastic sheet. At the same time, try to avoid charging the electric car immediately after riding in the rain. You can place the car in a ventilated place to dry before charging.

When using a car on rainy days, for the safety of yourself and others' lives and property, you must ride carefully, and safety first!
