Have you ever wondered whether the battery of an electric car should be charged every day or recharged after the battery is exhausted? This issue has been a hot topic among EV users because it is related to the health and longevity of the battery. Today, we will uncover this mystery and make your electric vehicle battery last longer!
First, let's look at a little story. In the picturesque town, there are two electric car owners, one named Xiao Ming and the other named Xiao Hua. Xiao Ming is a cautious person, and he always rushes to charge the electric car when it is less than half charged, for fear that the battery will be damaged. On the contrary, Xiaohua likes to recharge the electricity at one time, which he thinks is more worry-free. As time went on, both Xiao Ming and Xiao Hua found that their batteries had varying degrees of attenuation, which made them ponder: who is doing better for the battery?
To answer this question, we need to understand how EV batteries work. Modern electric vehicles mostly use lithium-ion batteries, which have the characteristic of not liking overcharging and overdischarging. Long-term exposure to these two extremes will lead to a gradual decrease in battery capacity, resulting in a decrease in battery life.
So, which is more scientific, Xiao Ming or Xiao Hua? The answer is: not exactly. Frequent small amounts of charging (i.e., every day) may cause the battery to be in a state of high charge frequently, which is not good for the battery; Waiting until the power is almost exhausted before charging will put the battery under the pressure of over-discharge, which is also not good for the health of the battery.
The right way to charge should be to combine the advantages of both and avoid extremes. Generally speaking, it is ideal to start charging when the electric vehicle's power drops to 20% to 30%, which can ensure that the battery will not be over-discharged; At the same time, try not to keep the battery at 100% full for a long time to avoid overcharging.
Now that we know how to take better care of the battery, there is one more key question: how do we make sure we don't forget to charge it? This requires us to develop good charging habits, such as charging at a fixed time and place, or using a smartphone app to remind ourselves.
In this era of information explosion, there are still many misconceptions and rumors about the right way to charge electric vehicles.
