Can Stepping Hard on the Accelerator Damage the Battery of a New Energy Vehicle?
1 Answers
Stepping hard on the accelerator of a new energy vehicle can indeed damage the battery. Frequently pressing the accelerator aggressively will affect the battery's lifespan, as it causes the power battery to discharge with high current frequently. It is well known that if the discharge current is too high, additional lithium ions are consumed to compensate, leading to battery degradation. Charging Temperature: For the battery itself, charging in excessively high or low temperatures can have adverse effects. The electrolyte used in lithium batteries is an organic system, which significantly slows down the charging speed in low temperatures and may prevent a full charge. Discharging is similarly affected. In contrast, high temperatures enhance battery performance, allowing for very fast charging. Parking Location: Modern new energy vehicles are equipped with lithium batteries, which accelerate aging if exposed to temperatures exceeding 60 degrees Celsius. Therefore, especially in summer, it is important to pay attention to where the vehicle is parked. It is best to park in a shaded area to avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures. In winter, it is also necessary to keep the new energy vehicle warm.
