You may have heard that batteries don't last as long in colder temperatures, or you may have experienced yourself how your battery runs out of life faster in low temperatures. To provide a better understanding, we will explore in this article the various factors that affect batteries at low ...
Most studies suggest lithium-ion batteries perform best between 10℃ and 30℃, and peak somewhere in the middle of that range - in fact, new vehicles are tested for range and efficiency at 23℃If the battery falls below 10°C, the flow of ions slows down and this changes the speed at...
With temperatures plummeting, you might find that your electric vehicle struggles for range. Lithium batteries are negatively affected by cold weather. When the temperature drops below freezing, the vehicle will lose 10-20% of its theoretical range. We say theoretical because it assumes that all ot...
How does cold weather affect electric cars? Electric vehicle batteries operate via a complex chemical process. In extreme temperatures, whether it’s close to freezing or heat waves, an EV’s battery won’t necessarily be 100% efficient, and you can expect to see a decrease in range by ...
Winter is right around the corner. Here are the tasks to address now and what to do once winter starts.
How does your phone battery store its charge? Factors that affect the durability of mobile phone batteries Tips for preserving the lifespan of your phone batteryA phone could have all the latest features, and they would be pointless without a long-lasting battery that allows you to enjoy them...

(so it's brilliant for the environment too). But exactly how well your batteries perform depends on how you use them and how carefully you charge them. That's why a decentbattery chargeris as important as the batteries you put into it. What is a battery charger and how does it work?
This is even more critical when the temperature drops below freezing, which is exactly why we ran a 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy loop in icy February to gauge how low temperatures affect electric range. Battery chemistry, like Grandpa and almost everything els...
While some generalizations can be made about average lifespan, no two batteries will perform exactly the same. To get the most out of your car battery, whether it is old or new, it’s helpful to understand how different variables will affect your car battery’s life. This can lead to ...
