How Many Years Can a New Energy Vehicle Last?
1 Answers
According to the current battery technology level, the battery of an electric vehicle can last for about ten years under normal use. Based on the current warranty policies of Nissan, General Motors, and other automakers, the warranty period is eight years or 160,000 kilometers. How long the battery lasts depends not only on the quality of the battery itself but also on how it is used in daily life. The battery maintenance methods are as follows: Avoid storing the battery in a discharged state: Storing the battery in a discharged state can easily lead to sulfation, where lead sulfate crystals adhere to the electrode plates, blocking ion channels and causing insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. Therefore, when the battery is not in use, it should be recharged once a month to maintain its health. Correctly manage charging time: Generally, the charging time for a battery is around ten hours, and overcharging should be avoided. When planning a trip, arrange for charging in advance to prevent insufficient power during the journey, which could lead to excessive discharge and significantly shorten the battery's lifespan.
