Do New Energy Vehicles Need to Be Fully Charged?
2 Answers
New energy vehicles do not necessarily need to be fully charged. If you are driving a new energy vehicle for long-distance travel or on highways, it is recommended to fully charge the battery. However, if you are only driving within the city or for short distances, you can charge it as needed. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in advanced technical principles and featuring new technologies and structures. The maintenance methods for new energy vehicles are: 1. Correctly grasp the charging time; 2. Protect the charger; 3. Regularly check the battery to maintain sufficient power, avoid high-current discharge, and prevent power loss during storage; 4. Clean promptly and ensure waterproofing.
I've been driving a new energy vehicle for years and truly believe it's not necessary to charge it to full every time. Keeping the battery fully charged for extended periods can shorten its lifespan, just like with smartphone batteries—deep discharging followed by a full charge adds stress. I usually stop charging at 85%-90%, which helps protect battery health. Daily commuting doesn't require that much power anyway, and a full charge just wastes time and electricity. The vehicle's manual also recommends avoiding frequent full charges, reserving them only for trips. After adopting this habit, my car's battery degradation has been noticeably slower than my neighbor's, plus it's more worry-free. Battery management is a key focus in modern EVs, and partial charging can enhance overall efficiency while extending the vehicle's service life. Remember, maintaining a moderate state of charge is ideal—don't force a full charge at the expense of battery longevity. Take it easy, and your car will stay with you longer.
