Should I be charging my EV to 90% each day if I only drive a short distance?

Video Description

If you drive your EV for less than 40km (25 miles) each day then topping up the battery to 80-90% may be shortening its life. By thoughtful charging you could still have 90% capacity in your battery after 23 years. Note: A DST cycle is not the same as a “cycle” for calculating battery life. For example, discharging from 75% to 65% ten times is equivalent to one full cycling of the battery, when referencing the manufacturer’s data sheet. 00:00 Introduction 01:40 Battery University 02:07 Depth of Discharge 04:27 Maximum State of Charge 07:17 Storage Conditions 08:58 Dynamic Stress Testing Results 13:44 Conclusions #electricvehicle #tesla https://batteryuniversity.com/
