When choosing a second-hand electric vehicle, you should first check the battery. report Izvestia, with reference to experts from the SberAuto service.

“First of all, you should measure the battery capacity. The power reserve and the possibility of replacing the battery after purchase depend on it. It is necessary to inspect the condition of the cables and connections for visible signs of damage, corrosion or leakage. You should also check the year of manufacture of the battery and the warranty period: Replacing the battery after its expiration can be expensive,” the message reads.

You should also check the braking system, i.e. the recuperation system, when buying a used electric vehicle: When you release the accelerator pedal, the electric vehicle should slow down and the indicator on the dashboard should show that charging is in progress.

You should also check when the system was last updated. If it has not been produced for a long time, the owner may not have paid enough attention to the vehicle.

The service also recommended that you check the repair history of the electric vehicle. Professionals who service electric cars must be competent electricians, among other things.

Chery patented a new trademark in Russia - Xtrim​

21.08.24

Russian branch of Chinese automaker Chery has patented a new trademark - Xtrim. In the database of the Russian Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIIP) found its logo, according to the telegram channel "Autopotok". Journalists of this Telegram channel remind that the Chinese company already uses the brand Xtrim in the Iranian automobile market. EXEED models are sold there under the name Xtrim. For example, EXEED TXL is called Xtrim TXL, and VX - Xtrim VX.

It should be noted that Chery often creates sub-brands. Currently, the company sells cars under four different brands in Russia: Chery, OMODA, EXEED and JAECOO. Soon a fifth brand - Exlantix (for premium electric cars) - will appear on the market. In any case, in July the formation of an official dealer network for Exlantix has already begun and the first models have been announced, which will be launched soon.

However, the story with Xtrim may not get a quick continuation. Because Chery has other examples of launching new brands in Russia. So, in the spring of 2024 there was information about the registration in our country of the logo of a new car brand Fownix. By the way, this is also a sub-brand known from the Iranian Chery lineup. OMODA C5 crossovers are sold there under this brand (in Iran - Fownix FX), as well as the whole familiar to us Chery lineup (Tiggo 7 PRO, Tiggo 8 PRO Max and Tiggo 9 PRO Max). However, the matter has not gone further than registration of the brand in the Russian FIIP. Again, in the spring of 2024 Chery patented in Russia the trademarks Couggo and Lucano - and it is not yet known for what purposes and what goods.
