– Get to the nearest location:
The first thing you should do when facing this situation is to locate the nearest electric charging spot and quickly move there. You can go to a friend’s house, a store, or any electric bike shop along the road you are traveling on.
To facilitate users in easily grasping the exact amount of electric energy remaining, the manufacturer has equipped an electronic display. Thanks to this, users can easily control their trip. Before riding the bike, you need to pay attention to this part to see if the battery is fully charged, if it has enough energy to sustain the journey.

– Limit sudden braking:
According to research, when you are running at high speed and brake suddenly, it can consume up to 40% of the electric energy. Therefore, sudden braking can quickly deplete the electric energy. To prevent this from happening, the rider should drive at a slow and steady speed.
– Do not adjust the speed of the bike arbitrarily:
As electric bikes and motorcycles are frequently used by students and older people, manufacturers recommend a speed of 25km/h for safety. Not only for safety reasons, but also because adjusting the speed higher will result in more battery usage and faster depletion of energy. When this situation occurs frequently, the battery or the accumulator will quickly become drained and damaged. At that time, the distance traveled will be shorter, heavier and the bike will need a battery replacement.
– Ride and rest, reduce the load on the bike:
If the bike still has some electric energy and you are near a charging spot, you should stop and turn off the key for 5 minutes. This will allow the bike to partially recharge so that you can continue your journey. The load is also a major factor in energy consumption. You should avoid carrying an additional person in this situation as the bike will consume power faster.
Handling when the electric car runs out of power
Running out of power in an electric car can disrupt the driver’s journey. If this happens, the car owner can contact the battery rescue team or call the manufacturer’s hotline for proper instructions on how to handle the situation.

Electric cars are still relatively new in Vietnam. Concerns about travel range and energy charging are unavoidable. If an electric car runs out of power while on the road, the car owner needs to understand the proper and reasonable measures to handle the situation. Running out of power in an electric car in the middle of the road can disrupt work and the driver’s journey. If this happens frequently, it will affect the battery’s lifespan.
When the car is about to run out of power, the car’s control system will automatically display a warning message on the car’s screen for the driver to be aware. In addition, there are also signs indicating the low battery status such as difficult starting, slow speed, or the car not working.
If the car’s battery capacity exceeds the minimum allowed level, the owner can still continue driving, but this will result in various consequences including: the car running out of power, interruptions in the journey, making it impossible for the driver to arrive at the scheduled destination on time. It can also lead to traffic congestion, especially during peak hours. The most common solution is for the driver to quickly find the nearest charging station to charge the car.
In addition, car owners can seek assistance in the following ways:
Seek support from the manufacturer: Drivers can contact the manufacturer’s hotline for assistance in situations where the car runs out of power, or for guidance on using available tools on the car.
Contact the car rescue team for support. However, this method takes time and incurs additional costs.
What to note when the car runs out of power in the middle of the road
There are many objective or subjective reasons that can lead to the situation where the electric car runs out of power while on the road. In general, no matter the reason, to avoid damaging the car’s components, the driver needs to note the following: Do not try to restart the car or accelerate, to avoid causing further damage to the car’s electrical system.
When seeking assistance from the manufacturer, the car owner needs to quickly determine and provide accurate information about the status and location of the car running out of power. This will facilitate the support team’s arrival as quickly as possible.
In case the support team cannot be contacted immediately, the car owner needs to follow and implement the advice/technical instructions properly and quickly. If the car runs out of power, the owner can contact emergency battery support services.
The driver should stop at a flat, easily accessible location, ensure traffic safety, and provide convenience for rescue operations.
Depending on the location of the stranded car, the battery rescue team will try to arrive as soon as possible.
In case of natural disasters, epidemics, or some unforeseen circumstances, the ability to provide rescue services may be limited. In that case, customers can still contact the rescue team to receive guidance and timely support.
