Electric vehicle costs have been coming down, with the average price of a new model almost 10% lower than a year ago and used models down 32%. However, findings from Mitchell's research, as reported in Fortune, show that average repair costs were 29% higher for EV owners than their ICE-owning counterparts, and the average repair took almost twice as long.

What are the key factors that cause electric vehicle battery life? To help the battery last as long as possible, using the preconditioning feature is of utmost importance, both in extreme heat and in extreme cold, as this brings the cells to the optimal temperature before plugging in the charging connector. Another tip is to avoid fast charging at very low states or very high states of charge, as battery resistance is higher at these levels and puts additional stress on the battery. In the long run, choosing DC or AC power is not the only factor that affects EV Car battery life; factors such as extreme temperatures and extremely low or high state of charge can also have a significant impact on battery life. #EVSE #ChargingStationOEM #HomeCharging #evcharging #evcharger #evcharingstation #evcar

In Standard Li-ion batteries, when you charge your car, it is advisable not to charge beyond 80%. Charging to 100% or letting the battery drain to 0% can put extra stress on the battery and shorten its lifespan. Here are some of the reasons why you should not charge your electric car to 100%: 1. Faster battery degradation. The chemical reactions that take place when a lithium-ion battery is charged and discharged create heat. Charging to 100% generates more heat than charging to 80%, which can accelerate battery degradation. 2. Reduced charging efficiency. The charging speed slows down significantly as the battery approaches 100%. This is because the battery's internal resistance increases as it becomes fuller. 3. Increased risk of fire. There is a small risk of fire if a lithium-ion battery is overcharged or discharged too deeply. This risk is even lower for electric cars, which have battery management systems that protect the battery from overcharging and over-discharging. In general, it is best to charge your electric car to 80% most of the time. This will help to extend the life of your battery and keep your car running smoothly for many years to come. However -- if you use the #xfc battery from StoreDot it is designed for fast charging every time, with over 1000 consecutive fast charging cycles delivering #100in5 (100 miles for each 5 min of charging). So, the 80% rule still applies, only the battery will not degrade due to fast charging. The experience of all drivers will be exactly like fueling!

Here is a common misconception: 4 EV's arrive almost simultaneously at your site to charge. Each car demands approximately 150 kW. One might assume that 4 cars, each requiring around 150 kW, would necessitate a 600 kW power supply. However, this is not the case. As illustrated in the diagram below, the charging patterns for multiple vehicles generally differ from this simple arithmetic and the maximum pick is only 300 kW. The Battery Management System (BMS) in EV's typically requests short, intense bursts of power before gradually lowering the power demand as a protective measure for the battery. This is where the ZOOZTER™-100, a Flywheel based kinetic system, becomes invaluable. With its relatively high C-rate, ZOOZTER™-100 is optimally designed to manage these transient high-power demands, effectively smoothing out the peaks. Utilizing a power booster based on chemical batteries as an alternative would not be as efficient, given the slower response time of such batteries.

Ever wonder how much you could save with an EV? We crunched the numbers from 1 to 10,000 miles. The result? Petrol cars cost DOUBLE to fuel compared to EVs! On average, an EV costs 9p per mile to fuel, while a petrol car costs 18p. That's around £92 saved over 1,000 miles and a whopping £919 over 10,000 miles. The more you drive, the more you save with an EV! Ready to start saving? #electricVehicle #fuelsavings #evpower

How battery health impacts used electric vehicle valuations: > The battery is the highest ticket component of an EV, and its health can significantly impact the vehicle’s value. > The rate of deterioration is influenced by charging history, manufacturing, and battery chemistry. Most valuations used today are still based on combustion-era data that has little to no relevance for EVs. Until now. 🔷For the first time, data-backed Battery Adjusted Values™ are here. 🔷 This marks a significant shift in the EV market and empowers dealers to make more accurate valuations before purchasing EVs to minimize financial risk.

The common belief that four EVs charging simultaneously need a 600 kW power supply is incorrect; peak demand is actually much lower. The ZOOZTER™-100 Flywheel system efficiently manages these fluctuating power needs better than slower-responding chemical batteries. #ev #evcharging

EV’s for the overall life of the vehicle, never are net zero. And they are an ecological disaster! Based on the lithium mining, production & disposal/inability of. This plus the climate lie of CO2 & our inability for critical thinking. And just believing a narrative that we have been sold! If you tell a lie enough times people will believe it & that is what has happened in this narrative!
