Think of EV heat exposure as drops in the bucket rather than something that causes a sudden change. It can be likened to human aging and bad habits that might accelerate the aging process, like smoking. The threat of prolonged heat exposure is that it alters the rate of the electrochemical reactions in the battery, leading to a shorter useful life over the long term. “I can probably count on one hand the number of times we’ve seen a car lose range quickly and unexpectedly, and the team has not had a reason to believe that any of them were due to a single heat wave.” - Andrew Garberson Read the full article by Bengt Halvorson here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gPDMY-f2

🔋 Maximizing EV Battery Life: Tips for Smart Charging and State of Charge Maintenance 🔋 Want to ensure your electric vehicle's battery stays healthy and lasts longer? Here are three crucial tips to optimize charging: 📉 Avoid Frequent 100% Charges: Charging to 100% too often can speed up battery wear. Reserve full charges for long trips. 🚀 Charge at a Moderate Rate: Opt for moderate charging speeds to keep your battery happy. Slow and steady wins the race! 📏 Maintain Proper State of Charge: Aim to keep your battery between 20% and 80% for daily use. It's the sweet spot for battery health. Give your EV the TLC it deserves, and enjoy those emissions-free miles for years to come! 🚗💨 #EVLife #BatteryCare #GreenDriving

"But wouldn't I suffer from the negative impact of #vehicletoX on my EV battery's health?" Only if you plan to drive your car for more than a million kilometers. I really enjoyed the insightful and compelling presentation by Prof. Dirk Uwe Sauer at the Vehicle-to-Grid conference in Münster yesterday - see my favorite slide below. In a nutshell, the cycle-life of an EV battery will typically get you much, much further than you will usually want to drive your car - using some of these cycles for V2X applications such as optimizing your PV self-consumption at home therefore does not play a role. Or, in other words, the wheels of your car have probably fallen off long before your battery is even close to reaching the end of its life. Of course, battery ageing is a complex topic and depends on many operational (e.g., c rate, DoD, SoC) and ambient factors (e.g., temperature). But Prof. Sauer's back of the envelope calculation shows that the impact on battery health is not the big challenge to focus on. Regulatory issues and sufficient economic viability are the nuts to crack here. #alternativeenergy #sustainability #energy #energytransition #automotiveindustry #electricvehicles #transportation #electricvehicle #ev #emobility #batteries #energystorage #battery

⚡ New to the EV world? 🔋 Just got your first Electric Vehicle? 👉🏼Here are 5 charging tips to help you navigate your electric journey! 🌍🔌 ✅Know your EV’s charging type: Invest in a quality charger designed specifically for your electric two-wheeler. Avoid using generic chargers as they may not be compatible and could potentially damage your battery. ✅Avoid maintaining full charge: For lithium-ion batteries, it's generally recommended to keep them charged between 20% and 80% of their capacity for optimal longevity. Avoid letting the battery drain completely before recharging, as this can strain the cells and reduce their lifespan. ✅Understand charging types: Avoid charging your electric two-wheeler in extreme temperatures, as this can affect battery performance and lifespan. Optimal charging temperatures typically range between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). ✅Monitor battery health: Keep your charging port and connectors clean and free from debris to ensure a secure connection and efficient charging process. Periodically inspect cables for any signs of wear or damage, and replace them if necessary. ✅Don’t just park, Charge it: Always Plan Charging Sessions. If possible, plan your charging sessions during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower. This not only helps save money but also reduces strain on the grid during peak demand periods. ☘️So no more confusion about going Electric. #learnwithflextron#EVcharging#ElectricVehicle#EVcharger#ChargePoint#ElectricCars#ChargingStation#GoElectric#SustainableTransportation#CleanEnergy#ChargingInfrastructure#EVs#GreenTech#FutureOfMobility#RenewableEnergy#SmartCharging#DriveElectric#ZeroEmissions#TeslaCharger#ElectricCarCharging#CleanTransportation

Concerned about battery health issues with Electric Vehicles (EVs)? Let's dive in! 🔋🚗 🏍 While EVs offer many benefits, like reducing emissions and lowering fuel costs, battery health is a topic that often raises questions. 🤔 Here are a few key points to consider: Battery Degradation: Like any rechargeable battery, EV batteries degrade over time due to factors like usage patterns, temperature extremes, and charging habits. It's essential to monitor battery health to maintain optimal performance. Range Anxiety: Worried about running out of juice mid-drive? Battery degradation can affect an EV's range over time, leading to range anxiety for some drivers. However, advancements in battery technology are continuously improving range and durability. Lifecycle Management: Proper lifecycle management is crucial for maximizing EV battery longevity. This includes regular maintenance, appropriate charging practices, and recycling/disposal considerations at end-of-life. Industry Solutions: Fortunately, the EV industry is actively addressing battery health concerns. Manufacturers are implementing strategies like thermal management systems, over-the-air updates for battery management, and warranty programs to ease consumer worries. Stay informed and proactive about battery health to ensure a smooth and sustainable EV experience! ⚡️🌱 #ElectricVehicles #EVs #BatteryHealth #Sustainability

Excellent post! Understanding battery health is key to a positive EV experience. Adding to your point on lifecycle management, there's a growing trend of second-life applications for EV batteries. These used batteries, though no longer ideal for peak vehicle range, can still hold significant charge and be repurposed for energy storage in homes or businesses. This extends battery life even further and reduces environmental impact.
