The battery life for a Territory PHEV (领界铂领) typically varies, but having to replace it twice in three and a half years seems unusual. It's worth checking if there are any underlying issues affecting the battery's longevity or if the specific usage patterns might be impacting its lifespan.

Does kinetic energy recovery affect battery lifespan?

I took a test drive in a Tesla and got really hooked. Today, an EV friend told me that batteries have a calendar life, and even if you don't use them much, they generally reach their limit in about ten years. Since the Model Y hasn't been out for many years, no one can really answer this. Do any of you with Model S, especially the older ones, have any issues with battery usage?

I have a couple of minor issues with my Touareg 3.0, wondering if anyone else has experienced the same: 1) After refilling the windshield washer fluid, it leaks onto the ground. The mechanic suggested that it might be a crack in the connecting hose, causing the fluid to spill out. It doesn't affect usage. 2) Occasionally, when driving at low speeds in traffic, there's a slight squeaking sound when turning the steering wheel. It doesn't happen all the time and doesn't seem to have much impact.

Hello everyone in the Leapmotor community, I have a question. Can you unplug the charging gun during slow charging at home? This morning at 6 o'clock, while I was sleeping and the car was charging, my father needed to use the car. He directly unlocked and unplugged the gun to drive away. This raises my doubts: Can the Leapmotor C11 pure electric model be directly unplugged during slow charging? First, does this operation pose any threat to personal safety? Second, will this affect vehicle safety? Third, will it impact the battery? If it's an incorrect operation, how should one correctly stop using the car during charging?

I’ve had my Nissan Sunny for nearly 7 years now, and from personal experience, I can tell you it’s one of the best cars for someone who’s just learned to drive or wants a simple, reliable vehicle. It’s incredibly easy to drive—compact in size but not cramped inside. You can slip it into any tight spot without overthinking, and the interior space is actually comfortable, especially in the back. It’s clearly designed with families in mind. Its exterior design isn’t flashy, and a lot of people criticize how it looks—but I see that as part of the car’s philosophy. It’s meant to be a practical car, not something for show. If you want a car that turns heads, you can look elsewhere. Personally, I wanted something that would last and make life easier—not something to brag about. Over these seven years, aside from regular maintenance, I haven’t had any major issues. Just a few small things that came up with time—like the driver’s side window switch no longer working automatically, so now I just roll it up manually. Also, in 2020, the original battery finally gave out, which was expected—and honestly, it lasted longer than I thought it would. Some people say it’s not safe enough, but honestly, I had a minor accident once—got hit by another car—and the Sunny didn’t suffer serious damage, and no one got hurt. That’s what matters most. Sure, it doesn’t come with loads of safety features, but for its price, you can’t expect top-tier specs. I’m not someone who drives fast—I’ve never gone over 120 km/h—so the car has always been stable for me, with no issues. The cabin gets a bit noisy at higher speeds, but that’s normal for this class and hasn’t impacted my overall experience. The engine isn’t powerful, but it gets the job done and gets me where I need to go without stress.
