EV battery degradation linked to charging habits and heat, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A study by Geotab analyzing over 22,700 electric vehicles found that charging behaviors and ambient temperature are key factors in EV battery degradation. Frequent use of DC fast charging, particularly at higher power levels, leads to a faster loss of battery capacity compared to slower charging methods. Additionally, EVs operating in hotter climates experience a slightly accelerated degradation rate due to increased thermal stress on the battery cells. AI
