Again it is intrinsic to the chemical properties of the battery that they will lose maximum charge ability over time. There is literally NOTHING you can do to stop its degradation, until they start using something other than lithium ion.
And according to Tesla it is 30% degradation over 8 years if you drive an average of 12,000 miles per year; more if you drive more than average. That changes a car that drives 303 miles on a charge to 212.1 miles on a full charge. After 8 years it begins dropping even faster, and again even faster if you drive a lot of miles in a year.
I donโt deny age degrading of Li-Ion batteries, Iโm just saying that the tech (especially the BMS) has come a far way since the first EVs.
My guarantee is minimum 80% SoH after 8 years, so is Teslas afaik.
If you care for your battery pack, by keeping it out of extreme heat (no problem here in Sweden), normally charge to 80%, and donโt leave that car at high or low voltage for long periods of time, youโll get at least 3000 charging cycles out of the battery.
Thatโs in my case more than 600k miles. The car will be a heap of rust before the battery degrades to below 80%.
And when the car is dead, Iโll pay someone to refurbish my car battery to fit to the house (current cost around $1000), and Iโll have almost a week of electricity need for my house in backup.
People ditching EVs because they are believing in myths, and have never owned one, are like people claiming that horse and carriage were much better when the first model Tโs rolled out.
Like now, you would have to really plan your trip as an early adapter to the automobile, and the world was filled with horse people bashing the new invention.
Iโve driven my EV for thousands of miles, 0 degradation, and 0 problems. There is a bit of planning to sort out a trip longer than ~300km, but I save that time by never visiting a petrol station for my 400+ <100km trips I do every year.
I just plug it in, set the timer for low peak, and charge right back up again to 80%, and another ~300km daily range.
I understand if your daily drive is 180 miles+, but very few people does that amount of daily driving. I do it maybe 20 times a year, so for me an EV is perfect, and a huuuuge saver here in Sweden with prices over $10 a gallon, and less than 10 cents a kWh off peak.
If you drive an average number of miles per year. It decreases if you drive more (the more you charge a Lion battery the quicker it degrades.)
100% bullshit.
100% impossible.
How many hours per charge does your car take?
Artificially inflated gasoline prices for social engineering an outcome is evil. 10 cents a KwH? Didn't electric prices more than double recently in Sweden? (Again due to social engineering)
If you want a car that can be turned off remotely, good for you, buy them. But if you support the social engineering that goes along with making the EV more economically attractive then you are my ENEMY.
