After 8 years with my old petrol car, it started burning oil, and I noticed a lot of people around me were switching to electric vehicles. That got me thinking. I was originally planning to get the top-spec Tank 300 (Menglong), and during the National Day holiday I went for a test drive — it met my expectations. On the way back, I stopped by a Jetour dealership and saw the T2. My daughter instantly fell in love with the exterior and interior — it completely overshadowed the Menglong in her eyes. Looks clearly played a big role, and after a test drive, it felt good enough. Since I don’t really need 4WD for daily driving, I booked it right away. Looking back now, I do wish I had waited for the 4WD version — a bit more power would’ve been nice. For this type of vehicle, electric power saves a lot. For daily use, my cost is just around 0.10 AED/km (charging at home on off-peak rates of 3.3 AED/kWh). My daily round-trip to work is under 20 km, so I only charge every four days, when the battery hits around 20%. For long-distance trips, I don’t bother with charging — it’s too much hassle. I just set the car to preserve 60% battery and drive on petrol. Even if fuel consumption is slightly higher, it’s fine since I only do a few road trips per year. The car is heavy and feels solid on the road. Acceleration is decent, but the 4WD version definitely would’ve offered better power and confidence. I’ve had the car for over half a year now. So far, the only issue has been a slight noise from the steering system — which was fixed. Other than that, no major problems. Buying a car always involves a bit of luck anyway. The biggest downside is the driver assistance system — it lags behind the competition. The infotainment system has improved a bit with the latest 4.11 update, but it still has room for improvement. Overall, I’m quite satisfied. Compared to many newer EV startups, Chery is an established brand. The lifetime warranty adds a lot of peace of mind, especially on the powertrain and electric components.

I have a 2014 Korando 2.0 petrol 4WD luxury version. Could you please tell me how often or after how many kilometers I should change the transmission fluid? Thanks!

My M7's electric right middle door isn't working. It opens a little, and if I press it again, it opens a bit more, but it won't close completely. Experts, what could be the reason for this?

I want to add an auxiliary battery to my Iveco Daily, then I can go on a trip.

Hey car enthusiasts, when I put my 4WD on a lift, the front wheels spin but the rear ones don't. After a while, it shows a "4WD Overheat" warning. But when I drive on the road for a bit, the error code disappears.

I currently drive an eight-year-old Nissan Sunny 1.5 with a fuel consumption of 6.5 L/100km and have driven 50,000 km. I have a parking space at home where I can install a charging station, and I don't drive much on highways. Is it necessary to switch to an electric car? My main considerations are saving money and having shelter from the elements. I don't drive the petrol car much because I don't need to and the fuel is expensive, so I prefer using an electric bike. It would be different if I switch to an electric car, right? What car would you recommend?

My 2013 manual Honda City has a fuel consumption of around 6.7. Is that a bit high? How's your fuel consumption?

I can't charge my electric Lavida, thought it was a grounding issue (there's a grounding wire left by the developer in the electrical box), so I connected it to the ground as well, using two 60cm grounding rods and a 50cm grounding angle iron, but it still sometimes charges and sometimes doesn't. Even the portable charger doesn't work. It's driving me crazy. When I took it to the 4S dealership, it charged fine. They updated the car's system, but it still won't charge at home. I tried two neighbors' charging stations, but it still won't charge. What's going on? Has anyone experienced something similar? It's been over 3 years and 50,000 km.

How long is the warranty for BYD charging stations? I recently bought a BYD electric vehicle. A few days ago, the charging tripped after just half an hour. After resetting, it tripped again after about 20 minutes. I didn't pay much attention at the time. Today, while charging, it didn't trip the circuit breaker within ten minutes, but it stopped charging and there's no power. I don't know the reason. If anyone has had a similar experience, please advise!

I heard that the fuel consumption of the 4WD petrol version is higher than the 2WD. How much higher is it? Can the 4WD version switch to economy mode to achieve full 2WD?
