How Many Years Can a New Energy Vehicle Be Used?
1 Answers
Because the service life of a new energy vehicle is consistent with the battery's lifespan, the usage time of a newly installed battery is 3-6 years. With timely maintenance and battery replacement, the service life of a new energy vehicle can be extended. Most current new energy vehicle batteries use lithium battery technology, which ages with increased usage time and frequency, leading to reduced range and eventual battery failure. Generally, an ordinary car battery may last about 3 to 5 years, while higher-quality ones can last 5 to 6 years. For daily maintenance of new energy vehicles, the following points should be noted: Timely Charging: If a new energy vehicle's battery runs out of power and is not charged promptly, the sulfuric acid will oxidize when the battery is depleted, leading to insufficient charging. Over time, the battery capacity will decrease. Control Charging Time: New energy vehicles take a long time to charge, typically 8 hours or more. Many owners leave their vehicles charging continuously until fully charged. Overcharging can cause the battery to overheat, affecting its lifespan. It's important to monitor charging time and unplug the charger once the battery is full. Protect the Charger: The charger for a new energy vehicle is crucial. If the charger is damaged, it can affect its lifespan and also harm the battery during charging. Regular Battery Checks: Beyond the above points, the most important aspect is to regularly inspect all electrical components to ensure they are free from water and dust. If the vehicle's range suddenly drops significantly, there is likely an issue with one of the battery cells, and it should be sent to a 4S shop for repair immediately.
