How Long Can a New Energy Vehicle Generally Last?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles can generally last for about 10 years. The lifespan of a new energy vehicle is directly related to the service life of its battery. The maintenance of new energy vehicle batteries is as follows: 1. Avoid aggressive acceleration while driving: Sudden acceleration during startup, carrying passengers, or going uphill causes the battery to discharge with high current, which can easily lead to the formation of lead sulfate crystals, damaging the physical properties of the battery plates and resulting in a sudden drop in speed and performance. 2. Prevent the vehicle from being exposed to extreme heat or cold: If the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight for a long time, the high temperature can increase the internal pressure of the battery, leading to water loss, reduced battery activity, and accelerated aging of the plates. If parked in extremely cold temperatures for an extended period, the battery's range will drop sharply, and its performance will be adversely affected. 3. Master the correct charging time: Pay attention to the duration and degree of charging. Both undercharging and over-discharging should be avoided. Generally, the battery charging time is about 8-10 hours. Avoid excessively long charging times, as overcharging can shorten the battery's lifespan. 4. Develop a good habit of regular inspections: While using a new energy vehicle, it is essential to develop a routine of regular checks. If you notice a sudden drop in the driving range during use, it may indicate a battery issue. In such cases, promptly visit a car repair shop to avoid further battery degradation. 5. Keep the battery fully charged when idle: If the vehicle needs to be parked for an extended period, ensure the battery retains some charge. A battery left in a discharged state for too long is prone to sulfation, where salt-like crystals form on the plates, causing significant harm to the battery.
