Why Can BYD Electric Cars Perform an On-the-Spot U-Turn?

Why Can BYD Electric Cars Perform an On-the-Spot U-Turn?

The principle that allows BYD electric cars to perform an on-the-spot U-turn hinges on having each of the wheels on either side of the vehicle rotate at the same speed but in opposite directions. This synchronized but opposite rotation enables the car to pivot around its center point, effectively allowing it to spin in place. Historically, in fuel-powered vehicles or electric cars with a shared axle design, such precise control was impossible due to mechanical constraints preventing one side from moving forward while the other moved backward. This made performing a “tank turn” particularly challenging for traditional vehicles. ...

How to elegantly inflate your car in 2024?

How to elegantly inflate your car in 2024?

Car tires should be kept in proper air pressure. Pressure that is too low or too high can reduce safety and driving experience. Too low tire pressure will increase fuel consumption, reduce handling and increase the risk of tire blowout; too high tire pressure will not only reduce comfort but also reduce the tire’s grip. Since tire pressure is so important, what is the ideal tire pressure? In fact, most car manufacturers will mark it on the inside of the car door or in the user manual. We should always observe the tire pressure and try to keep it within the manufacturer’s recommended range. ...

BEV vs FCEV vs PHEV: All You Should Know

BEV vs FCEV vs PHEV: All You Should Know

When we say “new energy vehicles”, we can generally divide them into 3 categories: BEV, PHEV and FCEV. What are the key differences between them? I will try to make it clear to you in this post. Definitions BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle): These are vehicles that rely entirely on batteries for power and do not have an internal combustion engine. Examples include the Tesla Model 3 and the BYD Han EV. ...

Ride-hailing: The Largest Use Case for Electric Cars in China

Ride-hailing: The Largest Use Case for Electric Cars in China

The research report titled “Digital Travel in 2023: Aiding Zero-Carbon Transportation” points out that ride-hailing and taxi services have become significant areas in promoting the electrification of vehicles. The report, jointly compiled by the Transportation Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, Didi Development Research Institute, and other institutions, emphasizes that the electrification of transportation tools, efficient resource utilization, low-carbon travel structure, greening of power sources, and digital intelligence of the transportation system are the five key points for the low-carbon transformation of urban transportation. ...
