☑ Lithium-ion batteries prefer a partial cycle rather than a deep discharge or drain,thus do best when they operate in the 30%-80%charge range.
☑ Conversely,leaving your battery in a low level (below 30%) charge state for an extended period may also impact its life.
☑ Notice: Lithium iron phosphate batteries can be charged 100% for daily driving as they are more stable.
☑ Keeping the battery at 30%-80%charged and minimizing the number of charges -vs charging the battery to 100% and/or charging every drive cycle -will keep the battery performance in optimal condition. For most EV owners, this just becomes habit.
Generally, current EV ranges are sufficient for our daily trips. But for long-trip drive, plan it in advance!
☑ Before taking your EV on a long-distance road trip or on new routes, plan ahead so that you know where the closest public charging points are and how much time you’ll need to wait while your vehicle charges. Helpful apps can predict your charging needs and schedule charging stops that optimize the amount of time you spend charging your EV while you’re travelling.
☑ Nowadays, public charging stations are common every 150 km on most highways in the region. Have a snack as your battery is 40% or less.
We all know that cold weather can reduce the range of an electric vehicle. Keep your battery stays at 40% above is ideal for daily commuting.
