One common worry is around the impact of fast charging on battery degradation – an understandable concern given that EV manufacturers such as Kia and even Tesla recommend sparing use of fast charging in the detailed spec description of some of their models. So what exactly is the impact of ...
You've not experienced a winter with your Tesla yet. Please start looking here and on TM (particularly under Model S and X) for range loss in cold weather. I have nothing to gain in my prediction, but I suspect that your 120v charging is not going to keep up with battery c...
Either way, if it can do balancing below that, what's to stop you from balancing the pack after it 'finishes' charging? I'm not sure why it needs to be actively consuming current from the wall to balance a battery. follow.johnny FSD Beta Tester May 19, 2018 871 1,071 Riv...

Fast charging is ideal for occasional long trips. Slow, daily charging is better for battery longevity. What are the Benefits of Electric Vehicles? Drive an EV, and you’ll quickly notice these perks: Lower Operating Costs: Electricity is cheaper than gas, and EVs have fewer parts needing mai...
In 2023, a significant study byRecurrentexamined the impact of fast charging on over 12,500 Tesla vehicles in the U.S. This research aimed to determine whether the software and safety mechanisms within the battery management system (BMS) effectively prevent damage during fast charging. ...
So, the argument between Tesla and Nio this time is actually about whether the charging mode is better than the swapping mode, and whether BSM is feasible or valuable for home EV. Why does the battery matter? To answer the question, let's first start with the electric vehicle...
Ives bumped hisTesla price target from $515 to $550, along with setting a bull-case price target of $650. As for his reasoning, he noted that the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) rollout would likely be fast-tracked by the Trump administration, adding that the firm was confident in ...
“Tesla estimates that the Hornsdale Power Reserve battery has delivered 30 to 40% of its services to frequency markets without being paid due to existing AEMO technical specifications being written based on fossil fuel generation assets. “Current standards compensate batteries for their capacity based...
In order to refuel the battery pack, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy as the vehicle slows down and brakes. In addition, when the brakes are used, the car’s electric motor switches to reversal, which slows down the tires. ...
