How to prevent electric car theft
Feb 07, 2022
1. Registration of car purchase and annual inspection of cycling
First of all, after purchasing a new electric vehicle, you should keep the invoices, receipts and other procedures properly. Even if the electric vehicle is lost, don't rush to destroy it, because once the electric vehicle is recovered, it will be the best certificate for verification.
2. Don't be too troublesome, leave the car and lock it
To prevent the theft of electric vehicles, the most important thing is to overcome the paralysis of the mind, be careful not to be troublesome when leaving the car, and it is especially important to lock the car anytime and anywhere. This is the least that should be done to prevent the theft of electric vehicles. No matter where or when, you must lock the electric vehicle when you leave it, even if you leave it temporarily and return immediately. Even if it is within sight, it is best to lock it, even to a relatively sturdy fixture. If you find it troublesome, then the thief is also convenient. While locking won't completely prevent theft, it can at least make it a little harder for car thieves. Because no matter whether there is no gathering on the car, or carelessly forgetting to lock it or not locking it because it is troublesome, it will provide convenient conditions for car thieves who want to make money and take care of the sheep.
Third, choose high-quality locks
It is also necessary to purchase car locks with better anti-theft performance. The most common crab-shaped locks are easy to be smashed and deformed due to the thin iron sheet and the thin lock beam; the snake-shaped wire locks have no preventive effect on the wire cutters of car thieves; the "U"-shaped lock shell is thick but " The "mutual open rate" is high, and the safety performance is difficult to guarantee. If two types of car locks are used at the same time, their preventive performance is not simply superimposed, but will be greatly improved. Because car thieves do not necessarily carry all kinds of tools. Some experts recommend using invisible locks that lock the handlebars, similar to motorcycle locks.
Fourth, electric vehicles should not be abused anywhere
Even the best locks are not absolutely safe for electric vehicles, because cases of theft by picking up the rear frame to lift the rear wheels off the ground and carrying the whole vehicle away from the ground often occur. Avoiding littering of electric vehicles is another key to preventing theft. Especially those new, high-end, brand-name bicycles, such as electric bicycles. It is also easy to be stolen if placed at the door of the house, especially during the lunch break or evening meal time, when the electric car is lost; it is not safe to place the electric car in the stairwell at night, unless it is directly moved indoors; it is parked on the street at will in public places. There is also no security at intersections, next to store doors, near stations, or around markets. It's better to park your electric car in a guarded parking lot and spend a small amount of money to buy big security.
5. Don't forget to ask for the license plate when you store the car
There have been reports that someone stored an electric car in a car storage place, and when he picked up the car the next day, he found it was stolen. This reminds us that when depositing an electric vehicle in a parking place, we should ask about the maximum storage time and ask for a deposit certificate. The car storage office is responsible for the safety of the car when it collects the storage fee. The owner of the lost electric vehicle should have the right to claim compensation, and the storage license plate is the only evidence for storing the car and paying the fee. Therefore, you should choose a car storage place that implements the license plate system, and don't forget to ask for the license plate.
6. Don't buy stolen cars cheaply
I advise you not to go to the illegal market to buy stolen cars for cheap. When buying old cars, check the driving license and the number of the car body and license plate one by one, in case the procedures are fake or incomplete, and it is difficult to "transfer", but not "legally owned". In return, it will cause economic losses. Purchasing and selling a stolen car knowingly is an illegal and criminal act. In addition, buying a stolen car is also tantamount to laying the groundwork for the theft of one's own or others' electric cars.
