Top 10: Fastest Accelerating Production Electric Cars

December 28, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive Blogs

But because electric motors can provide full torque from a stop, they are redefining what is possible in a way that is tearing up and rewriting those records.

Here, we rank the top 10 electric vehicles in terms of speed from 0 to 60 mph using the manufacturer’s stated official data. In order to set realistic expectations, consider this sobering context: a Formula 1 vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in around 2.5 seconds, therefore every car on this list has amazing drag potential, if not less so while navigating 180 mph turns.

Over the past 120 years, a number of hypercar manufacturers have broken acceleration records, including Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, and Porsche.

10. Lotus Evija – sub-3.0 seconds

With its 2011 horsepower and sub-3.0 seconds 0-62 mph performance, the Lotus Evija is a hypercar worth over £2.4 million that aims to prove that an electric future is anything from dull. As anybody fortunate enough to be seated in one of the 130 units being produced will attest.

The Evija stands out for more reasons than just its quick acceleration; after reaching 62 mph in less time than it takes to yell, it continues to accelerate at an almost unbelievable 218 mph after reaching 186 mph from a standstill in 9.1 seconds—still faster than most common hatchbacks.

9. Porsche Taycan Turbo S – 2.6sec

Porsche’s first electric vehicle, the Taycan Turbo S, debuted with the goal of proving to skeptics that electric vehicles can be thrilling. It accomplished this goal admirably, offering incredible acceleration that can reach 60 miles per hour in only 2.6 seconds.

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S, despite its name, lacks a turbocharger—that was a nod to earlier, faster Porsche models—and instead has “just” a 93kWh battery that produces 751bhp total. In contrast, it takes 2.8 seconds for a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica to reach 60 mph.

8. Tesla Model X Plaid – 2.5sec

You might be wondering how a 2.5-ton family SUV could possibly rank among the vehicles that accelerate the fastest. That’s the excitement of having an instantaneous torque and strong electric motor, but remember to keep the kids away before you release full 1006bhp.

The Plaid model’s tri-motor arrangement, which propels it down the road as hard as its tires can grip and essentially quicker than any supercar currently on sale, is the secret to the Tesla Model X’s powerful performance. In fact, in a drag race, a Bugatti Chiron (0-62mph, 2.3sec) will barely prevail over it.

7. Lucid Air – 2.5sec

The flagship model of this up-and-coming automaker is the Lucid Air Dream Edition, albeit you’d have to have some pretty crazy dreams if you thought that going from a complete stop to 60 miles per hour in a stomach-turning 2.5 seconds, with a peak speed of 235 miles per hour, was among them.

California-based Lucid began selling the Air in 2021. It has two electric motors that have a combined output of 1065 horsepower. Its battery and efficiency allow it to be rated for a substantial 520 miles per charge, even if using all that power would reduce range. Its fast-charging capabilities let it to add 300 miles of range in 20 minutes (assuming you can find the suitable supercharger).

6. Faraday Future FF91 – 2.2sec

Leading a group of Chinese automakers hoping to build their reputations for producing cars through electrification is Faraday. The FF91 is a hybrid saloon and SUV with a striking look and a hypercar-baiting 2.2-second 0-60mph pace.

Considering its futuristic speed, it’s remarkable that the FF91 was introduced in 2017. The business stated that 64,124 bookings for the automobile had been received in just 36 hours. Though putting the concept into practice hasn’t been simple, we’re excited to see its cars on the road after receiving a lot of funding and being listed on the Nasdaq.

5. Tesla Model S Plaid – 1.99sec

One more Tesla? We’re not even close to finished, though, since Elon Musk and his group of electric pioneers have long recognized the value of a captivating performance figure. The Model S Plaid outperforms the Model X in the 0–60 mph speed of 1.99 seconds because to its slipperier design and (slightly) lower weight.

The Model S Plaid variant, like the Model X Plaid, is equipped with three motors: two on the back and one on the front axle, which together provide 1006 horsepower for the road. Its top speed is 200 mph, and it proved it could handle turns by lapping the Nürburgring in 7 minutes and 30.9 seconds, more than ten seconds quicker than the Taycan Turbo S.

4. Tesla Roadster – 1.9 seconds

According to rumors, the 200kWh battery of the second generation Tesla Roadster would provide 1000 horsepower, all housed in a comparatively light body. Whatever the specifics, it’s obvious that the Roadster—which can reach 60 mph in 1.9 seconds—must be the quickest Tesla.

It’s important to note that the Roadster is mentioned here more for potential than actuality. Having been unveiled as a concept as early as 2017 and suggested for production almost annually since 2020, nobody, not even Elon Musk, is certain when the project will go on sale.

3. Pininfarina Battista – 1.79sec

There is a little dispute here since, despite recording a time of 1.79 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, the Pininfarina Battista has not yet received homologation. Thus, some choose to emphasize its performance using the official estimate of 2.0 seconds instead. To be honest, we’re willing to include it in this list despite the disclaimers, assertions, and rebuttals surrounding the majority of these numbers.

The Battista’s four electric motors, which produced a powerful 1726 lb ft of torque and 1877 bhp, were the same as those used in the Rimac Nevera. To experience a glimpse of this incredible performance, you will need to shell out around £1.9 million (€2.2 million) to be listed as the owner of one of the 150 cars that are scheduled for manufacture.

2. Rimac Nevera – 1.74sec

Rimac’s remarkable journey, which began with the development of its own electric hypercars in Croatia and continued with co-owning Bugatti and working on several established automakers’ electric projects, is highlighted by the performance metrics of its own-label vehicles. With its 1914 horsepower, the Nevera can reach 200 mph in 10.8 seconds and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.74 seconds.

The Rimac Nevera’s ability to go at top speed under any circumstances stems from the fact that each wheel contains a strong electric motor. A massive 120kWh battery pack powers all of that speed. The only drawback is that you’ll need to spend more than £2.4 million to experience all of this performance.

1. Aspark Owl – 1.72sec

Aside from frightening mice, owls are well-known for many other things, although maybe not for their lightning-fast reflexes while stationary. The Aspark owl, manufactured in China, promises to alter all of that with its four electric motors producing 1985 horsepower and an astounding (literally, we assume) 0-60 mph pace of 1.72 seconds. With a range of 280 miles, the Aspark Owl can reach an incredible peak speed of 249 mph.

It’s much harder to own the fastest-accelerating production car in the world than it is to read about it, though. To begin with, Aspark claims it will only produce 50, and each will cost about £2.5 million. Moreover, there’s the question of whether the relatively unknown company will live up to its promise, as it has only shown a static model thus far while it works to bring the concept to market. Although its goals are commendable, we’re eager to see them confirmed.

An Educational Guide For Determining Petrol Engine Causes Of Strange Exhaust Colors

December 20, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive Blogs

You drive your automobile for a run one lovely day. You see a noticeable smoke waft emerging from your car’s exhaust pipe all of a sudden. Do you know what the exhaust color actually indicates before going crazy and phoning your go-to mechanics?
Often, especially in the winter, observing a vapor trail coming from the exhaust pipe is not cause for panic. It is typical to see some smoke coming from the exhaust pipe because there is where poisonous and noxious gases are directed away from the engine. Most of the cigarettes that you see coming out of pipes on a daily basis are safe.

PETROL ENGINE

1. White Exhaust Smoke:

**While heavy white smoke signifies major issues, light white smoke shows your automobile is in perfect working order.**

When you notice white exhaust smoke coming from your gasoline vehicle, you should first determine whether it is indeed smoke before becoming concerned. It may sound absurd, but a lot of the time the thin, light white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe is only water vapor.

You don’t need to worry about the possibility of your automobile exploding in the middle of your street if the “smoke” rapidly goes away once you start your car. Quite frequently, especially on chilly days, this will happen, and as the engine heats up, the “smoke” will automatically disappear.

2. Blue exhaust smoke:

**Blue exhaust smoke results from burning oil.**

White smoke from a gasoline-powered car’s exhaust pipe might occur for a number of causes, but blue smoke only indicates one thing: burning oil. Despite this, there are a lot of reasons why oil burns.

Piston rings, valve seals, or cylinder walls may be at fault. As a result of damage to one of these components, oil might flow into the combustion chamber and ignite alongside the fuel. If you don’t get the automobile to the shop right away, it will perform poorly and the spark plugs might get damaged.

You might have noticed that the blue smoke periodically comes and then vanishes. Your piston rings are destroyed if it spews out of the exhaust pipe while you accelerate. The valve seals are harmed in the case of deceleration. Knowing these signs and informing your technicians of the information may enable them to do the repair more swiftly.

3. Gray or black exhaust smoke:

You don’t need to panic when your beloved four-wheelers emit some nasty, dirty black smoke, despite the common rule that the sooner the car should be checked out, the darker the smoke is. When this occurs, the engine in your automobile is likely using too much fuel.

There are several causes of the black smoke, including broken fuel injectors, blocked air filters, etc. Whether you notice black smoke, you should pull over, inspect the air filter and other intake parts, and then check the fuel return line to determine if it’s clogged.

A clogged air filter is a problem that is less dangerous and easier to solve. Call your mechanic right away if none of those components are malfunctioning so they can investigate the cause of your car’s improper fuel combustion.

Why Does My Car Not Start in the Cold? What to Do

October 6, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive Blogs

Quite frequently, at the worst possible time, when it is most necessary, your automobile won’t start in the cold. Winters and automobiles frequently don’t get along, and when there aren’t any available cars or taxis to help, things grow even worse.

Low temperatures also have a negative impact on the automobile, which is shown in its poor performance. In the end, this means you’ll have to cancel all of your plans for the day and hunt for other travel options. If your automobile won’t start cold, these are the most typical issues you could run across.

Reasons Why Your Car Won’t Start in the Cold

1)Production of Electrical Current Drops

On chilly days when there is less current output, the car won’t start. Additionally, the chemical reaction is considerably less on such days. Warm batteries provide more current than cold ones, therefore cold batteries may have trouble starting.

2)Engine Oil Becoming thicker

Engine oil thickening is a significant issue that frequently occurs. It becomes challenging to pump the oil into the other components as a result. Additionally, there is a potential that the oil will adhere to the engine components and impair the car’s efficiency.

It is challenging for the batteries to draw in so much oil because of this sticky grease. Therefore, a battery with little power may result in a sluggish engine start.

3)Dripping Gasoline Lines

If there is a gasoline obstruction in the winter, the automobile won’t start in the cold. Due to moisture buildup, fuel frequently becomes obstructed and freezes. Ice or snow may also condense into a gel in the gasoline lines as a result of this moisture.

As a result, starting the engine takes longer than usual. Additionally, with damp gasoline lines, there is a danger of the engine sputtering and dying quickly. Condensation in gasoline tanks is the major cause of this.

4)Improper Carburetor Operation

No longer are carburetors to be found. They were a typical component of vintage automobiles. The automobile won’t start in the cold if the carburetor isn’t operating correctly. Additionally, this inappropriate operation increases the likelihood of the carburetor being clogged. Modern automobiles have a fuel injection system, thus they rarely have this issue.

5)Replace Your Battery

Car batteries are constantly vulnerable to harm. Therefore, consistently check the voltage to keep your battery safe. During this time, make sure the batteries are in good condition and plug in all the cables.

6)Protect Your Vehicle

Keep in mind to garage-park your automobile, especially during the winter. If a garage is not an option, you can park in a building’s parking space, a carport, or under a canopy. Additionally, use a car cover when parked to prevent your car from not starting in the cold. All of the delicate components are preserved in this way.

7)Keep Moisture Away

Try to place your cars in a secure area. Reduce power when the engine is not operating, second. Keep in mind to dry and clean your automobile batteries as well. Long-term battery use is guaranteed by clean batteries. Additionally, it lessens exposure to heat and supports maintaining a cool temperature.

The fact that your automobile won’t start in the cold is always a problem that might arise at any time. Keep your cool, take the proper actions, and secure your automobile in such situations.

Follow These 5 Steps To Protect Your Car’s Paint!

June 21, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive Blogs

To keep your car’s paint in good condition, you’ll need to devote some time and effort to cleaning it on a regular basis. There are many different auto waxes and polishes on the market. Although some automobile product makers promise that their products provide long-term results, you will need to reapply any product every few months to keep the exteriors looking good.

Avoid using too many detailing products on a new automobile with a beautiful layer of factory paint since they detract from the car’s original sheen and can damage the paint. Keep the following suggestions in mind to keep your vehicle shining.

Step#1 Wash regularly

Washing your automobile on a regular basis is the greatest way to maintain car paint, and it isn’t a new approach to protect car paint because most of us are already aware of it. However, there is one thing you should be aware of. Dish detergent should not be used to wash a car, according to automobile experts! Dish detergent will wreak havoc on your paint. In this scenario, a high-quality vehicle wash chemical should be used and applied using a foam pad applicator. The body should next be rubbed with a fine-grade car wash Mitt before being completely washed with clean water. To dry the body, the best option is to use a microfiber towel.

You may also spray a detailing lubricant over the automobile and apply it with another Mitt in a circular motion. Finally, dry with a second towel.

If frequent cleaning isn’t possible, at the absolute least use a duster to wipe down the car every day to avoid sanding.

Step#2 Wax to keep up the shine

After applying the paint sealant, you must use the wax the next day. Furthermore, whether you utilise the spray or liquid versions, you can apply it every month or week. The paste wax lasts longer and does not need to be applied as frequently.

Bird droppings, road filth, tree sap, and other harmful and corrosive substances adhere to the paint and cut through it. Wax will keep these items from causing any harm.

Step#3 Synthetic coating

Synthetic coating is a new kind of automotive paint protection that you should be aware of. If you’re not sure how to protect your automobile paint in this manner, here’s a tip to help you. A single application of a ceramic or polymer coating will preserve automobile paint for more than 6 months! Although it doesn’t have the same mirror-like gloss as a high-quality wax coating, it is more effective at preventing objects from clinging to the paint.

Step#4 Paint Protection Film

If you really want to preserve your car’s paint from sun damage, you might want to invest in a paint protection film package. Some kits merely cover the acrylic headlights, while there are others that cover the entire car. Your automobile will age more gracefully if you follow all of these basic protection suggestions.

Step#5 Fixing Scratches

Apart from rustproofing the vehicle, you must also swiftly repair minor scratches. If the scratch is not too deep, you may simply use touch-up paint and a rubbing compound to get a fantastic sheen. If the scratch is severe and exposes the metal, you’ll need to sand off the surrounding paint and prime the damaged area before painting. Paint it using Rust oleum Automotive Acrylic Enamel 2X Spray Paint if you wish to re-paint it.

Driving Tips for How to Save Petrol

May 24, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive Blogs

How To Save Petrol – The Ultimate Guide

These days, everyone is striving to save money on gasoline. It’s understandable given how quickly gas prices fluctuate. Check out our ideas for fuel-efficient driving and see how much money you can save while doing so.

1. Don’t Be a Lead Foot

The harder you accelerate, the more gas is lost. You can save gas by gently pressing the accelerator pedal. This rule of thumb will help you drive more efficiently.

From a halt, aim to accelerate your vehicle up to 15 miles per hour in roughly five seconds. Use a modest throttle setting and shift between 2000 and 2500 rpm with a manual transmission.

Imagine there’s an egg under the gas pedal to aid you avoid accelerating too quickly. Pretend the gas pedal is pressing down on the egg as you accelerate. This mental trick might help you accelerate safely, saving you gas and money.

2. Keep it Steady for Fuel-Efficient Driving

Have you ever wondered why highway and city driving yield different mileage? When it comes to traditional gas-powered vehicles, highway driving always gets the better mileage rating. Take the Toyota Corolla, for example. Its EPA-estimated MPG for highway travel is higher than for city driving.

The reason for this is because of abrupt changes in speed. On the highway, dips in speed mixed with bursts of quick acceleration can boost your fuel consumption by up to 30%. As a result, abrupt stops and starts might affect fuel efficiency. If you’re not driving in a city, avoid making sudden stops and starts.

If you’re going on a road trip or have a long commute, cruise control can save you money on gas. It saves you money on gas and keeps your car in good running order. Simply adhere to established road signs and turn off cruise control when driving in hazardous conditions.

3. Stay Alert and Keep Proper Distance

Maintain the momentum of your vehicle by planning your actions ahead of time. Keep your eyes on the road ahead of you.

Anticipate pedestrian and other driver movements and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.

Counting seconds might help you determine a safe distance. It works like this: when driving, choose an inanimate item such as a road sign, a marker, or something solid that does not move. Start counting as the automobile in front of you passes the object.

Because it was commonly instructed to count 2 seconds, this guideline was dubbed the “2-second rule.” It’s now widely accepted that varied driving conditions result in different count times.

Speed limitations of 35-55 mph necessitate a 3 second separation. Count 4 seconds at 55-75 mph when it’s pouring, the roads are wet, or there’s a lot of traffic. Count 7-8 seconds for a safer journey on snowy or icy roads.

This counting method can assist you in maintaining a healthy distance and improving your gas mileage.

4. Don’t Slam on the Brakes

If city traffic’s stop-and-go slows you down, abrupt stops can do the same. In normal driving situations, coasting toward a stop sign or red light is preferable to slamming on the brakes. This saves both time and money.

It is not only a more efficient driving practice, but it also reduces tyre and brake wear. This allows you to save money on maintenance and repairs.

5. Check Your Tire Pressure

In addition to these fuel-saving driving strategies, make sure your tyres are properly inflated. When you notice the tyre pressure warning light*, check the pressure frequently and fill them up.

Check inside the driver’s side door if you’re unclear how much air your tyres require. Many modern automobiles feature a placard on the dashboard that indicates the proper PSI for your vehicle. “How about the information printed on the tyre?” That is an excellent question!

Tire manufacturers prefer to include valuable information on their tyres, such as the maximum PSI they can handle. It’s vital to emphasize, however, that you should never go above that limit.

This is due to a number of factors. The first is related to normal wear and tear. The tread portion of your tyres will round out if you over-inflate them. As a result, the middle tread wears down sooner. You might be decreasing the life of your tyres in half on average.

The second reason is that traction has been lost. The more you pump your tyres, the more likely they are to lose touch with the road. This might cause you to spin out or possibly crash. This is especially true in the winter when the roads are icy.

The third cause is related to your vehicle. You’ll feel every bump and dip when driving on over-inflated tyres. What was once a pleasant trip has become rough.

6. Be More Fuel Efficient with Less Cargo

Have you ever returned after a road trip only to discover that your automobile performed better the following time you drove it? It may have seemed clogged and sluggish during the journey. Perhaps it felt light and athletic on the walk to the shop the next day. This is for a very excellent reason.

Fuel economy suffers when there is excess load. It’s preferable to leave that additional weight out of the automobile until you really need it. When you come home, unpack the car and leave only what you need for your next trip.

7. Reduce Heater Use in Winter

Heaters and air conditioners are designed to keep you comfortable in your automobile. It’s why many automobiles offer air conditioning, heating, and seat warmers.

However, relying on climate controls reduces gas efficiency. Try parking in a warm area like a garage to conserve gas in the winter. This keeps you warm in the winter and saves you money on gas.

Another thing you may do is avoid driving an idle car for too long with the heating on. Turn on the heat shortly before getting inside your car or while it is running. This reduces the time it takes to warm up and saves petrol.

5 Easy Tips To Increase The Life Of Your Car’s Clutch

May 14, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive Blogs

Today we’ll discuss one of the most crucial components of an automobile, without which it would never work. The vehicle’s clutch. To be clear, we will discuss non-electric vehicles because electric vehicles do not utilize transmission. To be clear, we will only discuss a manual gearbox and how to extend the clutch’s life.

How To Increase Clutch Life?

Regardless of how you look at it, because the clutch is based on friction, it will ultimately wear out and need to be replaced. However, there are a few easy steps you can do to extend its life, and the most significant reason to do so is that clutch replacement is an expensive procedure. So there you have it:

Tip # 1 Don’t Ride The Clutch

The majority of them have a propensity of resting their foot on the clutch. This is a terrible habit to get into since even the tiniest exertion causes the pressure plates to compress. As a result, some of the friction plates will come into contact, causing needless wear and strain. Make sure your foot isn’t resting on the clutch while you’re not using it. Either fully depress the clutch pedal or leave it unpressurized. This is the easiest approach for extending the life of an automotive clutch.

Tip # 2 Don’t Use The Clutch Every Time You Brake

Another typical poor behavior is pressing both the brake and clutch pedals at the same time while braking. Not only does this result in superfluous clutch usage, but it also removes a significant amount of braking power from the engine. The widespread consensus is that you should utilise your clutch just before the engine starts to struggle and shut out while braking. If your car’s speed is too low for the gear picked, the basic guideline is to compress the clutch. So, if you want to slow down, only use the clutch when you need to shift gears. Keeping the clutch pushed as soon as you brake might help you slow down faster.

Tip # 3 Use Neutral While Waiting At Signals

This is quite straightforward, and we’ve seen a lot of folks do it when stopping at a light. Pressing the clutch while waiting for the signal is a bad idea, even if it’s only for 5 seconds, because it increases clutch usage when you could just put the car in Neutral. Leaving the clutch pedal depressed when not in use is a guaranteed method to shorten its lifespan.

Tip # 4 Use Handbrake On An Uphill

Many individuals use the clutch to stop their automobile from rolling backwards when stopping on an uphill slope. You won’t have enough juice left to drive ahead without jerks if you do this, and you’ll be putting a lot of strain on the clutch. Instead, take your foot off the brakes and utilize the handbrake. Release the clutch and handbrake while boosting the throttle at the same time to get going. This may appear to have a lot going on at once, but when done correctly, it is more comfortable and reduces the pressure on your clutch.

Tip # 5 Use The Clutch Only When You Have To

We recognize that clutching is quite important and probably on the higher side when living in congested cities. And no, we’re not asking you to abandon the clutch totally; rather, we’re advising you to use it more carefully. In the end, the clutch should only be engaged and disengaged when absolutely essential. Furthermore, if you do (dis-)engage it, do so with caution. Always attempt to keep the time you don’t fully push the clutch pedal to a minimum (as the clutch slips it will chafe against the flywheel, gently wearing it out).

How To Keep Your Car Cool In The Summer

May 12, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive Blogs

The winters are long gone, and temperatures will soon soar to uncomfortably high levels. There will be times when you’ll need to get in your car and drive, but you’ll have to contend with excessively hot temperatures inside. Today, we’ll discuss ways to keep your automobile cool in the heat.

How to Keep Car Interior Cool During Summer

Tip #1 Use Sunshades/Window Visors

The first recommendation in our summer automobile cooling advice is to adopt the tried-and-true approach of utilizing sunshades. Sunshades and window visors are inexpensive and readily available at most auto accessories stores.

We ask that you use a sunshade or window visor whenever you park your car in the sun, even if it is only for a few minutes. These items prevent the greenhouse effect from occurring, ensuring that the interior of your automobile remains cool.

Tip #2 Use a Dashboard Cover

The second suggestion for keeping your car cool in the summer is to use a dashboard cover to keep the dashboard from heating up.

Simply said, when your car has been parked in the sun for a long, you will not have an unpleasant experience every time you touch the dashboard. Furthermore, due to the high temperatures they reach, these coverings protect the dashboard plastic from losing color or texture.

Tip #3 Cover the Steering Wheel too

Using the dashboard cover, however, isn’t a perfect answer. You must also keep the steering wheel from becoming too heated. What’s the answer? Use a steering wheel cover as well. This will assist you maintain a strong grip on the steering wheel since the surface temperature will be kept under control.

Tip #4 Park in Shade

The next advice on how to keep your automobile cool in the summer is the simplest on this list. Basically, parking your automobile in the shade is the greatest approach to avoid the sun. The inside will be cooler as a result. Despite the fact that this is a relatively fundamental concept, many of us neglect it and park in the first available space. However, we urge that you take a few minutes to find a shaded parking spot. If you can’t find any shade, a light-colored cotton bedsheet might be used to cover your interior.

Tip #5 Keep Windows Slightly Open

The second technique for keeping your automobile cool in the summer is another simple one. Simply leave the windows slightly ajar. Always remember that heated air rises. As a result, leaving the windows slightly open is the greatest approach to ensure that heat escapes from the confines of your automobile cabin. As a result, make sure the windows aren’t open wide enough for a burglar to slip his hand inside and unlock the vehicle. Even a little aperture will provide adequate ventilation and allow heated air to depart the vehicle inside.

Tip #6 Keep the Backside Cool

Another way to keep your seats cool, especially if they’re leather, is to use inexpensive cooling cushions. These cushions will also help to alleviate weariness while travelling for lengthy periods of time.

Tip #7 Use Solar Fans

While not simple, this is one of the most effective ways to keep your car cool in the summer. Invest in solar-powered window fans that may be simply hung. You can easily charge them with sunshine and utilize them to keep the cabin of your automobile cool by allowing cool air to enter.

Tip #8 Before You Start Driving

If you are going to start driving a car with a sun-heated interior, you may chill the cabin by opening all the doors and windows and turning on the air conditioning to full blast.

Tip #9 Get Your Air-Conditioner Serviced

Because prevention is better than cure, get your car’s air conditioner serviced before the summer arrives. This will assist you in effectively cooling the cabin when driving in the heat. In the heat, a clogged filter or low refrigerant gas levels can cause a lot of stress and impair cooling efficiency. Getting the air conditioner serviced should not cost more than Rs 3,000.

Tip #10 Keep Your Belongings In The Glove Box

This technique will not cool down the interior of your car, but it will keep your stuff secure. CDs and pen drives can be destroyed by direct sunshine and high cabin temperatures. As a result, you should never leave your goods exposed to direct sunlight in the cabin. To keep them out of the sun, keep them in the glove box or even the boot.

Driving Tips For Saving Gas

March 11, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Blogs

Tips for conserving gas when driving

Following the worldwide economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which spurred an upsurge in demand for petroleum goods, we were already paying more for energy. Now, as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, global gas and power prices have risen, and motorists are paying higher gasoline prices than ever before. There are, however, ways to save money at the pump, as well as one or two tactics you may use behind the wheel to reduce the impact.

Drive less

The most apparent strategy to save money on gas is to drive less. If possible, take public transportation. Why not walk or ride your bike to the store? Of course, in the winter, a car may be the only practicable mode of transportation.

Ease up on the Accelerator

Gas likes speed, so take it easy on the gas pedal. Your wallet will appreciate it, and you’ll be a lot safer as a result. Driving too fast can also be dangerous and very risky for u and other people around

Drive More Slowly

Driving more slowly actually reduces drag, which boosts fuel consumption and results in a smoother ride.

Idle For Less

Warming up your car for lengthy periods of time is a waste of petrol, something most of us are guilty of. In reality, idling your automobile for more than a minute wastes gasoline and produces a lot of greenhouse gas.

How Cool Is Gas?

Here’s something to think about the next time you’re at the pump: gas is often colder and denser earlier in the day. As a result, start filling up at dawn. Wait until the temperature has increased and the density has decreased, resulting in less gas when you pump. Regardless, you’re just receiving a small amount of extra fuel in your tank.

Monitor How And When You Brake

Recognize when to apply the brakes effectively. Another technique to waste gas is to brake excessively. Instead, decelerate whenever it is safe and possible.

Turn Off The Engine

Turn off the engine after you’ve reached a stop. Excessive idling wastes a lot of petrol. It’s why most modern cars include a stop-start system, which automatically shuts down and restarts the internal combustion engine to limit the amount of time it spends idling, lowering fuel consumption and pollutants.

Streamline Your Vehicle

Wind resistance should be eliminated. According to the Department of Energy, aerodynamic drag may increase fuel consumption by up to 20% on the highway.
