Most people know that Electric Car need maintenance during the hot and rainy summer months. They shouldn't be exposed to direct sunlight or rain, as this can damage the vehicle, causing malfunctions and shortening its lifespan.
Today, we want to tell you that Electric Car need maintenance not only in summer but also in winter.
Winter maintenance is essential for ensuring the normal operation of Electric Car and preventing frequent malfunctions, both minor and major, during the winter months.
Electric Car are made of precision-machined iron. The engine operates through the close coordination of various components, driving the vehicle forward.
Their normal operating temperature is around 90℃, at which point the piston and crankshaft achieve the optimal fit after expansion.
At low temperatures, the gaps between moving parts become too small, leading to significant wear, especially in winter when the starting temperature is extremely low. Furthermore, the process of warming up from below 0℃ to the normal 90℃ takes a considerable amount of time. Therefore, winter brings the highest level of wear and tear on Electric Car throughout the year.
Furthermore, after parking overnight in winter, the lubricating oil settles to the bottom. Due to the low temperature, the oil's viscosity increases, resulting in slower flow when the MG Electric Car starts.
This slow process of lubrication to the working surfaces takes a considerable amount of time. During this period, the unprotected friction between components causes wear and tear on the metal.
Prolonged wear and tear significantly impacts the MG Electric Car, drastically shortening its lifespan. This underscores the importance of winter maintenance for Electric Car.
