We have received a lot of questions about Ideal ONE in the background. Is the extended-range electric car reliable? Is charging troublesome? Are there any other tips for using Ideal ONE? This issue will answer the popular questions for you.
01 Will frequent charging affect battery life?
Can I charge the battery if only a small portion of the power is consumed? Will frequent charging affect the battery life?
The ultimate life of the battery actually depends mainly on the "number of cycles".
For example: the battery is currently displayed at 100%, used to 0%, and then charged to 100%, this is a charge and discharge cycle. In this case, the battery cycle number is 1 and the charging number is 1.
If a fully charged battery is used to 60% and then fully charged, then used to 80% and then fully charged, and then used to 60% and then fully charged again, the three times of power consumption are added together, 40%+20%+40%=100%.
Three charges add up to a complete charging cycle. Although the number of charges is 3 times, the number of battery cycles is still 1, and there will be no additional impact on the battery life.
Generally speaking, the Ningde era ternary lithium battery selected by Ideal ONE can maintain 80% of its original state after 1,000 charging cycles.
02Are there any safety risks when charging outdoors on rainy days?
Many areas are still in the rainy season. If rain falls on the charging port, or there are water marks on the charging gun or charging port after the rain, can charging be performed?
Regarding this issue, we first need to understand the protection level of the charging pile and related components, which mainly involves dustproof and waterproof.
Generally speaking, the protection level of charging piles is IP55, and that of plugs and sockets is IP54. When the plugs and sockets are plugged in, the protection level must reach IP55.
From the above picture, everyone has a general understanding of the waterproof ability of the charging pile and the charging head. The shell material of the charging pile, especially the charging head (usually composite plastic), has very strict insulation considerations. The national standard also requires that insulation testing be carried out on both the vehicle side and the pile side before charging the charging pile.
Therefore, it is safe to charge outdoors in rainy weather. However, to be on the safe side, if the rainfall reaches torrential rain or above, it is recommended that you postpone outdoor charging. Don't worry too much if there is water in the charging gun or vehicle socket after the rain. Just wipe it with a paper towel. A small amount of water stains will not affect charging safety.
03 The slow charging gun cannot be pulled out, is there an emergency solution?
When traveling, we will inevitably use slow charging piles. Generally speaking , the locking function of the slow charging gun automatically follows the vehicle status. For example, it will automatically unlock after stopping charging or being fully charged.
However, some car owners have also encountered the situation where the locking function of the charging gun fails. In response to such special situations, Ideal ONE actually has a plan and hides an emergency switch in the trunk.
The emergency switch is hidden under the trunk cover
Because it is used to deal with occasional situations, the position of the switch handle is relatively hidden, you can use the light of the mobile phone to illuminate it, and pull it with one finger to disconnect the slow charging gun from the charging port.
04 Will braking force be generated when pressing the P gear button during normal driving?
Why does pressing P gear while driving in D gear generate braking force? Is this unsafe? In fact, this is an emergency braking function, scientifically known as CDP dynamic parking brake.
In an emergency, such as when the foot brake fails, press and hold the P gear and ESP will brake all four wheels at the same time, and the vehicle will be continuously decelerated and even stopped according to the actual needs of the owner. We encourage everyone to learn more about this emergency operation, even if it is not used, it is a precaution.
05 Why can’t I listen to music and WeChat voice messages at the same time?
Some car owners found that they could no longer listen to audio conversations on WeChat on their mobile phones when listening to music through the QQ Music App on their car computers, which was somewhat different from their previous usage habits.
In fact, this is related to the vehicle's audio source. You can switch the audio source by clicking the button in the lower left corner of the music card on the central control screen. They are QQ Music/Bluetooth audio source/USB audio source. You can choose as needed.
If you want to listen to QQ Music and WeChat voice at the same time, you can switch the audio source to Bluetooth audio source and play it through the QQ Music on your phone. In this way, you can also listen to the WeChat voice at the same time.
06 Where is the subtotal mileage of Ideal ONE?
The mileage function is essential for many car owners, and it must support at least two sections of mileage, A+B, so that there are more combinations in usage. How to make good use of the mileage function of Ideal ONE?
For example, when recording the mileage data of a single self-driving tour, if you suddenly want to record the energy consumption of a section of highway, you can use mileage A to record the mileage of this self-driving tour, and mileage B to record the mileage of a section of highway, so as to make a comparison.
On the vehicle center page of the Ideal ONE central control screen, two subtotal mileage sections, AB, are provided, as well as options such as the last 7 days and custom time statistics, allowing everyone to query or set according to their needs.
07 Can Ideal ONE be fueled with No. 92 gasoline?
Ideal ONE needs to be filled with No. 95 gasoline. Filling with No. 92 gasoline may cause the range extender to detonate, which will cause irreversible hardware damage.
The gasoline grade mainly refers to the octane content. The higher the content, the stronger the anti-knock ability. The gasoline grade can be higher than 95, but not lower. At the same time, we also remind everyone to refuel at regular gas stations, otherwise there may be malfunctions due to oil quality issues.
08 Is there any effect if I don’t use oil for a long time?
Many car owners have installed charging piles at home, so it is common to not refuel for 1 to 2 months. What are the consequences of not refueling for a long time?
As for the range extender, Ideal ONE's range extender power generation system has an intelligent detection function. If it detects that the range extender has not been started for 28 days, it will automatically start a self-check. Therefore, there is no need to worry if the range extender suddenly starts in pure electric mode.
How long can the oil in the tank be kept? According to Sinopec, gasoline can be used within 3 months.
If you really need to keep your car parked for a long time, here is a method to fill up the tank and then park for a long time to achieve "saturated storage". Since the gasoline and oxygen are less in contact after the tank is full, the storage time is extended.
Fill up the tank for "saturated storage"
09 What is the reason why water is dripping from the right rear side of my car?
The water dripping from the right rear of the vehicle is condensed water from the air conditioner. Because Ideal ONE has two air conditioning systems (HAVC) at the front and rear, and the rear HAVC is located at the right rear of the vehicle, this kind of situation is normal.
