How Long Can an Electric Vehicle Last on a Single Charge?
1 Answers
Electric bicycles typically run about 60 kilometers; pure electric vehicles run about 100 kilometers. Common battery capacities for electric vehicles include 12Ah, 20Ah, and 32Ah. It is best to charge an electric vehicle battery with a matching voltage—for example, a 48V battery should be charged with a 48V charger, not a 60V charger. Lead-acid batteries are prone to swelling, while lithium batteries are prone to explosion. Below are precautions for charging electric vehicles: For the first charge, discharge the battery before charging. Avoid overcharging. Do not fully discharge the battery before charging. The optimal charging time is when the battery level is at 20% (when the dashboard shows the last two bars remaining). Even if you forget for a few days, the battery won’t be completely drained, preventing damage. Charging time should be determined based on battery capacity and remaining charge.
