ahhh yes, forgot bout em

that'll be the last option when all else fails
thought there'd be a better solution instead of this
getting them onto each of the 4 wheels can be tough - esp on grass / soft ground / gravel / off tarmac
since this EV was on the road still no issues

The bigger wheel dollies are frankly quite easy. Load them up onto each wheel. And then use a bar to lock the mechanism and lift up the entire wheel.

requires brute force strength to get the tire onto the mechanism - generally tow operators all badan tough no issue

there was an instance had to use dollies for both front tires (Front Wheel Drive), car was brought to safety beyond the emergency lane
right tire on road no issue, left one on grass (couldn't do anything, dolly kept digging further into the ground from the sheer weight of the car)

another tow truck came, powered up the AUX 12V batt with a bulky Powerbank, got the hybrid started and finally drove up the flatbed

in this incident, car is on a nice solid ground. so don't think there are any issues.

but from your context, I think they might need to use a hydraulic jack or some wooden planks.

yup, this case was on tarmac no issue

wooden planks were used but to no avail
hydraulic jack (the one they had or even mine) couldn't fit in with the already very minimal ground clearance at site
perhaps a different type (the one with rollers, that also i doubt) would've helped
car was already slightly perched with one wheel on road the other off
point to take note where to "park" vehicle for easy tow

Need this kind of lifter to lift the front of your car up.

just to give perspective of the location

To those in the insurance industry.

If the BYD suddenly stop like that on the fast lane which resulted in an accident. The cause was attributed to the low voltage from the 12V battery that had exceeded the warrantied mileage , korang still bayar compensation ke to the owner ?

Official statement gone?

Not in insurance industry, but afaik they will pay out, then sue 999 BYD for the money if they suspect is design flaw.

Referring to the Vios.

vios wont brake hard if power system failure. if alternator failure, pretty much sure got icon appear on the meter end.

Ice car where got tyre locking.

First day in k?

Here rocket scientist also plenty

This one more accurate. It is not sure if it is 12v battery issue.

In ICEs, alternator kong still got 12v battery supply for a while.

EV doesn't have alternator, it has a DC-to-DC transformer that charges the 12v battery, but the transformer may be disabled if the high-voltage traction battery is low. So if the 12v battery is low then many functions of the EV may be badly affected. Functions such as lane keeping, automatic braking may go haywire.

It says over 20,000 km in 10 months. It could be 30,000 or even 40,000 km.

But even if exactly 20,000km in 10 months means the EV was heavily used. The 12v lead acid battery should have been replaced in this case.

The one bang you from behind the one pays. It doesn't matter what caused the front car to stop. Front car could have stopped because someone was on the road, or front car bang into another car.
