EV batteries are built to last for many years, but how you charge them makes a difference.
- Charge to 80% for daily driving, 100% only before long trips
- Avoid leaving the car at 0% or 100% for days
- Use rapid chargers when you need them, not every day
- Precondition the battery in cold weather while plugged in
- Park in the shade on very hot days
- Keep the software up to date
A yearly battery health check shows how your battery is ageing and helps when you sell the car.
