Replacing a Wheel Hub for Energy Vehicles (EVs) is more complex than replacing a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle hub. EVs require even greater precision due to increased torque, increased regenerative braking forces, and uneven weight distribution. Choosing the wrong hub or improper installation can compromise safety, performance, and efficiency. Learn with XINGJIE about the considerations when selecting and replacing EV wheels.
EVs have unique load profiles. Please confirm whether the maximum axial/radial load ratings of the replacement Wheel Hub for Energy Vehicles exceed the original manufacturer specifications for your vehicle.
Ensure sensor compatibility (ABS/traction control system). Mismatched magnetic encoding or sensor resistance can cause system errors.
XINGJIE Solution: Our wheels feature load ratings optimized for EVs and multi-protocol sensor compatibility.
Never use an impact wrench for final tightening. Use a calibrated torque wrench.
Adhere to the manufacturer's precise bolt arrangement and torque values. Typical EV wheel hub bolts require a torque of 90-120 Nm; always refer to your repair manual.
Apply molybdenum disulfide paste to the wheel axle splines according to manufacturer instructions.
Protect the sensor from grease, metal debris, and impact damage during removal/installation.
After installation, use a non-ferrous feeler gauge to check sensor clearance (typically 0.3 mm - 1.0 mm).
Most Wheel Hubs for Energy Vehicles use pre-installed sealed bearing cartridges. Never attempt to repack, overtighten, or adjust the preload. Replace the unit as a complete unit.
Incorrect preload can lead to premature failure and excessive energy loss.
