Now a lot of Belgians are forced to work from home and hardly go out, condition of the car for days and days, maybe even weeks of silence. Gone are the traffic jams. Is this good for the environment and for your wallet. But it is very good for your car?
to and from work, driving to the sports club, or a restaurant, which at the beginning of this month, so of course it was, all of a sudden don’t any more. The coronacrisis, our mobility will be drastically reduced. Up to april 19, the vehicle is almost excluded for those who have a professional work without it.
“If you’re in the car and not used on a daily basis, it is recommended that, to him at least once a week to use it”, advises van der Drift, car, expert from the Netherlands reliable traffic management DUBAI. “We’ll need all the grocery shopping and a trip of a quarter of an hour to go, and a quarter of an hour back is all it takes.”
in The current thuiswerkperiode of three weeks, and comparing it with the summer holidays, in short, enough to return to your sunny destination without a car to start with.

A better idea is to have a trickle charger on the battery to hang up. Then, the battery will just get in the car and he was very slow to charge.”
In the case of electric cars, is not like that. “The battery pack of an electric car, you can’t compare it to the battery of a normal car. In such battery pack, there is not a lot of power if it is a long time to a standstill. And beyond that, electric cars can communicate via an app that you are using your phone, you can see how much range is left in the car. In this case, you should get the app to temporarily turn it off: it is in the power of the car.”
