What should I pay attention to when driving a high-horsepower electric vehicle compared to a gasoline car? What work has Xiaomi EV done in terms of vehicle stability control?
Compared to gasoline cars in the same price range, electric vehicles generally have greater overall horsepower, faster power response, and heavier bodies. Therefore, when driving a high-horsepower EV, you must pay special attention to controlling your speed. Do not accelerate or decelerate violently while turning, or make continuous turns at high speeds. Be especially cautious on slippery roads to prevent loss of control.
Of course, Xiaomi EV is also equipped with a powerful electronic stability program to protect driving safety. All Xiaomi EV models use the latest Bosch ESP 10.0 solution. The TCS system can achieve millisecond-level power control (controlling torque 500 times per second) to prevent tire slippage; the ESC system can effectively correct vehicle dynamics by applying braking to specific wheels, effectively suppressing oversteer (tail sliding) or understeer (pushing).
In addition, Xiaomi EV's electronic control system has been specifically calibrated for different wheels and tires. If you have replaced the wheels or tires on your vehicle, to ensure the normal operation of the electronic control system, you need to synchronously update the vehicle's wheel and tire settings in the infotainment system. At the same time, we recommend that you do not use non-original tire models, as this may cause a decline in the performance of the electronic control system and affect driving safety. Additionally, you should regularly check the condition of the tires, such as tire pressure and tire wear.
We would like to solemnly remind everyone that although the above electronic control systems can effectively reduce the risk of vehicle loss of control, they cannot break through physical limits. Therefore, please do not challenge the vehicle's limits on public roads or manually turn off the electronic control system. Especially on low-grip surfaces such as wet or icy roads, you must drive with extra caution.
