How Long Can an Electric Vehicle Last on a Single Charge?
1 Answers
Electric bicycles can generally travel about 60 kilometers; pure electric vehicles can travel 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 when overcharged, while lithium batteries are prone to explosion. Below are some precautions for charging electric vehicles: 1. For the first charge, discharge the battery before charging. 2. Avoid overcharging. 3. Do not drain the battery completely before charging. The optimal time to charge is when the remaining battery level is at 20% (when the dashboard shows the last two bars). Even if you forget for a few days, the battery won’t be damaged to the point of being unusable. 4. The charging time should be determined based on the battery capacity and remaining charge.
