電瓶車我們又稱為“電動車”，它是由蓄電池（電瓶）提供電能，由電動機（直流、交流，串勵、他勵）驅動的純電動機動車輛。近年來，在我國得到了非常廣泛的普及。目前國內的電瓶車主要用于觀光載客(ke)、治安(an)(an)巡(xun)邏、搬(ban)運貨物(wu)之用(yong)(yong)，電動觀光車(che)的(de)主(zhu)要用(yong)(yong)途(tu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)在(zai)公園、景區(qu)、休(xiu)閑度假(jia)村、大學(xue)、醫院、高爾夫(fu)球(qiu)場(chang)、房地(di)產(chan)公司等場(chang)所用(yong)(yong)作載客(ke)，電動巡(xun)邏車(che)主(zhu)要用(yong)(yong)途(tu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)在(zai)車(che)站廣場(chang)、人(ren)流密集場(chang)所進(jin)行(xing)治安(an)(an)巡(xun)邏，電動搬(ban)運車(che)的(de)主(zhu)要用(yong)(yong)途(tu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)在(zai)工廠(chang)、港(gang)口(kou)碼頭、物(wu)流庫房等。電動環衛車(che)主(zhu)要用(yong)(yong)途(tu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)用(yong)(yong)于清理(li)場(chang)地(di)、清洗(xi)路面、轉(zhuan)運垃圾等使用(yong)(yong)。電瓶車(che)使用(yong)(yong)壽(shou)命一般為(wei)8至12年，其蓄電池使用(yong)(yong)壽(shou)命一般為(wei)1-4年

在溫度過低時(shi)就要盡量縮(suo)短電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)瓶車的(de)使用時(shi)間(jian)，并及(ji)時(shi)進行(xing)充(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)。同時(shi)，電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池最好不要長時(shi)間(jian)閑置，最好每隔一個(ge)月就給電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池充(chong)一次電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)，保證鉛酸(suan)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池的(de)儲電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)能(neng)力(li)，同時(shi)避免酸(suan)液外溢損(sun)壞電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池。冬天(tian)里(li)在電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)動車初起動時(shi)，一定(ding)要用腳踏助力(li)，千萬不可“零起動”，以(yi)避免大量電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)流放電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)，否則對電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池的(de)損(sun)傷很大。那(nei)雨雪天(tian)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)瓶車能(neng)上路嗎？一般電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)瓶車在研制(zhi)開發過程中充(chong)分考慮到防(fang)水問題，采取了相應的防(fang)水措施，基(ji)本(ben)能在(zai)雨(yu)雪天使用，但當積水淹(yan)至(zhi)后(hou)輪(lun)的中軸位置時(shi)候，將(jiang)會造成整車內(nei)部(bu)線路的短路，損壞(huai)電(dian)機。此外，電(dian)動車最好別(bie)在(zai)戶外長(chang)期被雨(yu)淋， 這兩點一定要注(zhu)意。
