Why Are Electric Vehicles Less Durable in Winter?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why electric vehicles are less durable in winter: 1. Optimal Temperature Range: The best temperature for electric vehicle batteries is between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius. Within this range, the battery's charging and discharging capabilities are at their peak. Charging is faster, and the vehicle's range is maximized. For every 5-degree drop in temperature, the battery's performance in charging and discharging declines, and the range also decreases. When the external temperature drops to 0 degrees, the vehicle's range can reduce to less than one-third of its original capacity. 2. Range Capability: In winter, the battery's range is inherently weaker. Additionally, excessive load further accelerates the battery's power consumption, resulting in a significant reduction in the vehicle's range and making it increasingly less durable.
