Silent Stop: Handling Sudden Power Cuts in EVs on Malaysian Highways | MyMechanic
EV Breakdowns: A Different Kind of Beast
EVs are a whole different ballgame compared to traditional petrol cars, and so are the ways they can break down:
'Range Anxiety' Becomes Reality: Running out of charge is basically the EV version of running out of petrol. But finding a charging point can be way trickier than just pulling into a petrol station.
Sudden Silence: Unlike petrol cars that might sputter and cough before dying, an EV can just lose power abruptly. This could be due to battery management system issues or a component failure.
Towing Rules: EVs often have very specific towing requirements. You usually can't tow them with their drive wheels on the ground because it can damage the electric motors or the regenerative braking system.
High Voltage Safety: EV systems run on high voltages, which means only specially trained folks should be handling them for safety.
