1. Keep the battery warm

Indoor charging: Try to charge indoors, because a warm environment helps improve the charging efficiency and service life of the battery. Preheat the battery: Before departure, you can gradually warm up the battery to the optimal operating temperature by driving a short distance or starting the preheating program, thereby increasing the mileage.

2. Keep the car body clean

Car washing frequency: Chemical substances such as snow water and snow melting agents are easy to corrode the car body in winter. It is recommended to increase the frequency of car washing appropriately. Snow removal skills: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove snow from the car body, and avoid using sharp objects to scratch the paint.

3. Tire maintenance

Tire pressure monitoring: Low temperature will cause the tire pressure to drop. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the manufacturer's recommended value regularly to ensure driving safety.

Anti-skid treatment: Replace winter-specific tires or install anti-skid chains to improve the vehicle's grip on icy and snowy roads.

4. Glass and wiper maintenance

Glass cleaning: Use antifreeze glass water to clean the windshield to avoid freezing and corrosion.

Wiper inspection: Check whether the wiper rubber strip is aging or deformed to ensure that it can work normally in rainy and snowy weather

5. Regular inspection

Circuit inspection: Low temperature may cause accelerated circuit aging. Regularly check the circuit and connector to ensure that there is no looseness or corrosion.

Brake system: Check the wear of brake pads and brake discs to ensure good braking performance.

6. Driving habit adjustment

Smooth driving: Avoid violent driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration and sudden braking to reduce battery consumption and vehicle wear. Plan in advance: Try to plan your driving route in advance to avoid frequent searches for charging stations or gas stations during driving.
