Maximizing the Power: Tips for Optimal Electric Vehicle Battery Charging

    NWOW is devoted to not only offering new and advanced electric vehicles in the rapidly changing environment of electric vehicles (EVs), but also to ensure that our users have the information to enhance their EV experience. Proper battery charging is an important component of maintaining and increasing the lifespan of your electric car. In this section, we'll go over important tips for keeping your EV's battery in great shape.


1. Mind the Limits: Don't Charge Above 70% and Below 30%

The golden rule for EV battery health is to avoid extremes. Charging your battery above 70% and below 30% is pivotal for longevity. Batteries, common in electric vehicles, perform optimally within this range.

▪ Charging Above 70%: According to FleetNews and Kia Victoria, most of the manufacturers recommend the standard or normal charge levels of the battery, where it is suggested to not charge the battery to the highest percentage (100%) but instead, keep it only up to 70%-80%. Charging the battery at a full charge continuously can be stressful ang might affect or harm the longevity of the battery. In a day-to-day basis, it is ideal to charge the battery to 70%-80% only, batteries will have more life span if they weren’t always charged at 100%. Furthermore, charge only the battery at a full capacity (100%), when you plan to have longer distance travel and when you need it.

▪ Leaving the Battery at Low Percentage (Below 30%): Leaving your battery at a low percentage (below 30%) or having it drained, can also affect the health and may cause the battery be permanently unusable or completely discharged. It is practical to not lower the battery percentage as this gives an advantage of a lower charging cost you consume, and avoid battery wear of the electric vehicle.

    Keeping your battery within these limits not only extends its life but also enhances overall performance.


2. Post-Drive Cool Down: Wait 30 Minutes Before Charging

It's critical to let your electric vehicle cool down for at least 30 minutes after a thrilling ride before plugging it in for charging. This helps the battery maintain an appropriate temperature, preventing overheating and maintaining efficient charging.


3. Patience is a Virtue: Allow 30 Minutes After Charging Before Use

Just as your EV needs time to cool down after a drive, it also appreciates a short period of rest after charging. Allowing the battery to rest for 30 minutes post-charging helps stabilize the cells and maintain a consistent temperature, contributing to a healthier and longer-lasting battery.

 

4. Customize Charging Times: Ideal Charging Time for Various Battery Levels

Understanding your battery's current state and charging accordingly is essential. For instance, if your battery is at 35%, the recommended charging time for a 48V system is 6.5 hours, while a 60V system requires 7.5 hours. Tailoring your charging times to your battery's current level ensures efficient charging without unnecessary strain.


5. Stick to the Guidelines: Follow Charging Times and Guides

Every NWOW electric vehicle comes with specific charging times and guidelines tailored to its battery specifications. Following these recommendations is paramount to ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Ignoring these guidelines could result in decreased battery life and overall efficiency.

 

6. Be Cautious: Regularly Check Battery Percentage

Awareness is key to maintaining your EV's battery health. Regularly check the battery percentage to ensure you are within the recommended charging range. This simple habit can help you avoid unnecessary stress on the battery, prolonging its life and ensuring your electric vehicle remains in peak condition.

 


    In conclusion, the longevity and efficiency of your NWOW International electric vehicle depend on how well you manage its battery.
