My theory is because it sat presumably unplugged for an extended period of time, cell voltages became imbalanced. The car has been measuring current out of the pack during the drive home and is calculating SOC based on theoretical remaining energy. But the BMS steps in when at least one cell gets too low to avoid damage and shuts the party down despite there still being energy left in the pack. Leave it plugged in for a couple of days and then see how low of a SOC you can get to.

This. One of the cells self discharge rate is higher than the others. Probably used 2nd hand lithium batteries for cost cutting and didn't match the cells with similar internal resistance to each other. Prius's will do this same thing when a cell is on its way out and sits for a little while.

Now the city is try to limit the number of license. So we still has that car to hold the plate. If we sold the car, the plate is worth about 10K usd in Beijing China.

There is definitely a market for sub 10K new, very simple EV's like this. As long as it can go 80-100 miles using full capacity and at least 55MPH, it would be an actual good city/suburb car if you didn't have reliable or safe public transport. You can get a used leaf for that price, but the range can degrade severely on some of those since they were air cooled nickel/cobalt based batteries.
@baronvonjo1929
@baronvonjo1929 10 ай бұрын
I honestly don't think there would be much of a market. Not big enough to justify production with such small profits it surely has. It's styling would never have widespread appeal, its a unknown brand, it looks and would feel dangerous regardless if it's safe or not, I feel like this is a city car but most Americans don't spend all their life on a city and I wonder how you would keep it charged. I don't think you could have a charging cable across the side walk or that a apartment complex would let you install one. But idk. Maybe it would do well.

Additionally any other cars that were blacklisted by the feds and exported out the US (to originally never return) would be allowed to come back to the US. Cars would no longer be crushed by the government, but rather parted out or exported to other countries outside this continent if and when certain conditions are met.

If it is LFP, the voltage doesn’t change much over the discharge cycle so it is possible that if it sat a long time slowly discharging the BMS didn’t know the true state of charge of the battery and it just ran out of juice and just needs recharged and recalibrated. But that’s a wild guess, and it could be anything.

you will need a sticker on the rear to make people smile like the small fiat available here in the eighties like Fiat Panda the crazy car as Fiat had it advertised, which was a box shape car if you check it out. I bet the BMS was misaligned after a year of sitting and then you need to charge and drive then. It needs to recalibrate like the early tesla model 3 with LFP batteries from china when it was new and no one knew about. And maybe the manual and hotline might offer also new insights what to do. The same happened to a Renault twingo electric in 2022 on a german highway cause the car said 11% SOC and then died on the highway, has been towed 2 km to the charger and then it worked fine again. That has been a press car. Now you mentioned the BMS, where inside usually is also a coloumb or energy meter which needs also calibration like any new golf nowadays after a 12V battery swap which is achieved by swapping in a full battery and then set a new serial battery number via odbc adapter . Yes, that sounds weird, but a new serial number never been used before tells the car that it has gotten a new 12V battery and from there it does count the energy going in and out . This is nothing new, cause it has been introduced when the start stop automatic went into cars to save gas. It avoid in the morning after a start that the start stop would turn the engine of if the battery is too low. This whole system is based on a shunt measuring what goes in and what goes out. It should not be broken, just needs a full charge and a reset of the bms or the energymeter aka coloumbmeter which is a remaining capacity counter. Good luck, this will be a fun car - remember the days you climbed that pike somewhere with an e-GOLF if I remember right ? That was easy but will be far more challenging with such Candy car.

Id like to know if you can recharge it with the break or in gear while it being towed ,,'' Regen '' mode is supposed to put power back in the system when your stopping or slowing down so If you being towed for a mile or 2 will it charge the battery using the regen system ?

In Dallas there is a Kandi Dealership off 75 and they have a ton of these on the parking lot next to a home depo dealership. A lot of them have sat so long they have started to degrade (paint fading), and some appear to be broken too. Also I noticed recently their trucks are now appearing on the lot. They must be selling if they have them on the lot.
