How many kilowatt-hours are needed for a 500-kilometer range?
1 Answers
A full charge is sufficient for a 500-kilometer range. Here is the relevant information: Extended information: Electric vehicle batteries are not allowed to be completely discharged, so charging will not be at full capacity. Electric vehicle batteries are generally 10Ah, with a voltage of 48V (some have 36V), and the charging voltage is slightly higher, calculated at 60V, which is 600Wh. This means a full charge consumes 0.6 kilowatt-hours. Development: Based on breakthroughs in battery materials and cell structure, fast-charging batteries can ensure stability under high heat conditions, avoiding battery instability caused by excessive heat accumulation. Experiments show that these batteries can endure 3,000 charge cycles, meaning a single battery can support a vehicle range of approximately 1.5 million kilometers.
