6 Tips for MAINTAINING THE BATTERY PERFORMANCE OF ELECTRIC CARS

6 TIPS FOR MAINTAINING THE BATTERY PERFORMANCE OF ELECTRIC CARS

Are you already on the road with the e-car, is it not even an option for you or do you still have some doubts?

We are currently in the process of converting all our company cars to e-cars.

And to be quite honestly, some employees are skeptical. They are afraid that they won't get far enough by car or that they won't find enough charging stations on their routes. We can understand these doubts and fears, but we can also take them away.

Because once you've been on the road with the e-car for a while, everyone will find that it's not as complicated or inconvenient as expected. A big part of making the switch is simply habit - as is so often the case with humans. #outofcomfortzone

In any case, here are seven tips on how to conserve electric car batteries and extend their life.

6 tips to maintain the battery power of electric cars

1. ONLY CHARGE TO 80 - 90%

Only charge the electric car to 100% when necessary. For daily needs, 80-90% is often enough and conserves the battery.

2. AVOID HEAVY DISCHARGING

Frequent, heavy discharging of the battery can lead to reduced battery life. Therefore, better to take the time a little earlier and charge the car.

3. LONG STANDING TIME: MEDIUM CHARGE

Long periods of standing with a fully charged or heavily discharged battery should be avoided. If the electric car is not used for a longer period of time, it should have a state of charge between 30-70%.

4. CHARGING WITH LOW POWER

Frequent fast charging at high power levels has a negative effect on battery life. In the best case, it is better to charge more often with a lower power.

5. ACCELERATE EVENLY

Yes, it's a "killjoy," but heavy acceleration puts a strain on the battery. Therefore, it is best to drive evenly and with foresight.

6. PAY ATTENTION TO TEMPERATURE

The battery does not like high heat or extreme cold. Therefore, in summer, park in the shade if possible, and in winter, a garage is ideal.

WHAT ARE YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH ELECTRIC CARS?

We are currently changing over all vehicles and agree: everyday life, business trips, vacations & Co. are no problem with the e-car! It's all a matter of attitude, planning and habit.
