  Maintenance Notes for pure electric vehicles

  A

  The difference between normal vehicles and pure electric vehicles is the power source, that is the engine assembly is changed to be drive motor assembly, and fuel oil replaced by high voltage motor battery, but the other parts are much the same. But the maintenance of pure electric vehicles is very important to maintain the normal operation of the vehicle. Regular dust removal, water proof and fastening of high voltage equipments, are the most important for pure electric vehicles, of which the daily maintenance of electric blast pump is easily ignored. As it’s known to all, the normal operation of the blast pump is the key for traffic safety, which will directly affect the vehicle braking performance and braking effectiveness. 

  In order to maintain normal operation and long life span, it’s important to carry out good maintenance. The following maintenance plan can make the vehicle keep in the best condition:
