How long will an ev battery last
How long will an ev battery last?Batteries in electric vans typically last 5 – 8 years, and even 10 years or more with proper maintenance.
There are many factors that affect battery life. In terms of battery type, the cycle charging times of lithium ternary batteries are 600 – 1000 times, and that of iron phosphate batteries is 2000 times.
Usage habits are very important, do not wait until the power is basically used up before charging, but charge and use as you go. Driving at an even speed protects the three electric systems, and charging is necessary even if the battery is not used for a long time.
Battery life is measured by the number of cycles rather than mileage, such as charging once a week, driving 450 kilometers, charging 52 times a year, driving 250,000 kilometers, the number of cycles is about 500 times, the loss rate of about 7%, optimize the habits of the loss rate is even lower.
The battery life of new energy vehicles is longer than that of cell phones, because the battery cycle life of automobiles is long, at least 5 times longer than that of cell phones, and automobiles will not be used while charging, charging will be stopped automatically, and there is also a thermal management system.
Like BYD T4 pure electric van with lithium iron phosphate batteries, exported to Ecuador’s electric trucks are also advanced lithium iron phosphate batteries, fully charged single driving range of 150 kilometers, the theoretical life of more than 15 years.
Common types of batteries for new energy vehicles include nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium-ion batteries and solid-state batteries, etc. Lithium-ion batteries have a relatively long lifespan of 8-10 years, high energy density, light weight and large capacity.
After 6 years, the frequency of failure of new energy vehicles will increase, and there will be a decline in range and other problems, so it is best to replace them in time after 6 years.
It is recommended to unplug the negative electrode of the battery when the car is parked for a long time, and start the car once a week to let the built-in generator charge the battery.
In the case of lithium iron phosphate batteries, the battery capacity will decline after 5 years.
The service life of an electric truck depends on the quality of manufacture, frequency of maintenance, and driving conditions. A well used and maintained electric truck can run for 5 to 15 years or more, while a battery usually lasts 5 to 15 years, with performance degrading over time.
At present, commonly used lithium ternary batteries and iron phosphate batteries, life and the number of times of charging and discharging, wet shelf life related to the general lithium ternary batteries cycle charging 600 – 1000 times, iron phosphate batteries 2000 times, the service life of 5 – 8 years, but also and the depth of discharge, humidity and so on related to, can reach 6 – 7 years.
New energy minivan battery life 5 – 8 years or even ten years, commonly used ternary lithium batteries, high energy density, cheap, long life.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has stipulated that the core components of passenger cars should be guaranteed for more than 8 years or 120,000 kilometers. Like Geely Dihao EV450, BYD Qin EV400, etc., battery replacement is about 70,000 – 90,000 yuan, and the price of batteries will drop.
Its life and the number of charging cycles, lithium iron phosphate batteries can cycle more than 2000 times, life expectancy of more than ten years, lithium ternary battery energy storage, winter performance decline is small, life expectancy of about 8 years, the actual may be about the same, and ternary lithium batteries have good prospects for development.
Daily avoid every fast charging, power between 25% – 75%, avoid slamming on the gas pedal, can not drive in the loss of power, long time parking regular charging, pay attention to the temperature, master the charging time, change the bad habits.
