How Much Does the Range of New Energy Vehicles Decrease in Winter?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles experience approximately a 30% reduction in battery range during winter. This occurs because as temperatures drop, the electrolyte in the battery becomes more viscous, increasing internal resistance and slowing down the movement of lithium ions. Below is relevant information about new energy vehicles: 1. Full Charge and Discharge: The simplest method for maintaining new energy vehicle batteries is to perform full charge and discharge cycles. After the vehicle is fully charged, continue charging for a while longer. Similar to mobile phone software, regular upgrades and updates are also necessary. Additionally, if there are no special power demands, it is recommended to drive in pure electric economy mode. Avoid using unqualified or modified power strips and charging devices for charging. When the vehicle is not in use for an extended period, charge it fully before storage. These are basic maintenance tips that should not be overlooked. Pay attention to the charging and discharging range of the vehicle's battery. The optimal time to charge is when the battery level is between 50% and 70% or when the yellow light appears. 2. Scheduled Charging: If the vehicle is not used for a long time, try to perform a health charge once a month or use the battery until it reaches 50% after a full charge. The optimal ambient temperature for battery charging is 25 degrees Celsius, which is difficult to achieve in cold winters, so indoor charging is preferable. If indoor charging is not possible, it is best to charge during sunny daytime hours to enhance battery activity and minimize range loss.
