As one of the most popular means of transportation, electric vehicles have a similar lifespan when used, but the feedback from car owners on its core component, the battery, is very different, and the lifespan can differ by several times. What's going on? The reason is very simple, that is, some car owners have good habits, while some car owners frequently use habits that hurt electric vehicle batteries the most.

The top 5 habits that hurt electric vehicle batteries the most

There are three main aspects to the length of battery life. The first is quality. Batteries from big brands are generally more durable. The second is type. Sodium batteries > lithium batteries > graphene batteries > lead-acid batteries. The third is usage habits. The first two aspects are about the choice when buying an electric vehicle, but the last one is closely related to the daily use of car owners. If you have bad habits, it is recommended that car owners must correct them.

So, what habits are not good habits? Xiao Xingjia recently saw a video that mentioned the habits that hurt the battery the most. He summarized and supplemented 5 habits, including: riding an electric bike with a rebound voltage; charging the electric bike immediately after riding; charging after get off work and unplugging the power before going to work; using a charger that does not meet the new national standard to charge the electric bike; changing the speed of the electric bike without authorization.

These 5 habits are "devastating" blows to electric vehicle batteries, and will greatly shorten the life of the battery. Some battery owners who do not change the battery for three to five years often cleverly avoid these habits to make the battery more durable.

There are 3 habits that are really common, and car owners must correct them. How to change them? Insiders suggest to tell you

Although the 5 habits that hurt electric vehicl

But not all ordinary car owners will have them. There are only three that are really common in life. Every car owner should pay attention to them. Which three are they and how to change them? Insiders share their conscientious suggestions with you.

1. Immediately charge the electric car after riding it. This will cause the battery to be hot when discharging and charging. The battery is in a high temperature state, which will damage the active substances of the battery and easily consume the electrolyte,

 resulting in bulging and shortened life.Suggestions for how to change: Regarding charging and riding electric vehicles, a certain interval should be maintained, generally not less than 15 minutes in winter and not less than 30 minutes in summer.

2. Charge after get off work and unplug the power when going to work. In this way, it takes more than ten hours to charge. Long-term charging will inevitably cause the battery to continue to be in a high temperature state, which will also seriously affect the service life of the battery.

Suggestions for how to change: It is not recommended to charge the car immediately after riding it after work. This will easily cause the battery temperature to be superimposed and the charging time will be too long. It is generally recommended that the battery charging time should not exceed 

8 hours, and the longest should not exceed 10 hours, which is more conducive to battery maintenance.

3. Use a charger that does not meet the new national standard to charge the electric vehicle. This type of charger lacks the function of automatically shutting down when fully charged, or automatically starting charging when the battery is not fully charged, 

which can easily cause overcharging, undercharging, and damage the battery.

Suggestions for change: When buying a charger, try to choose the original one from the manufacturer, do not choose a low-quality charger that costs more than ten yuan, check whether the charger meets the latest national standard, and only buy chargers that meet the new nationa

l standard and match the parameters.

Xiao Expert Summary:

If you want the battery of an electric vehicle to be durable, in addition to making a good choice in quality and type when choosing, some good habits are also very important when using an electric vehicle. On the contrary, some bad habits are the "culprits" of the battery's durability.

 For example, the three common ones, seven or eight out of ten car owners have such habits. If you want to increase the battery life, you must correct them.
