Part 3/9:
Intriguingly, recent studies from institutions like Stanford University reveal a fascinating trend: EV batteries tend to last longer in real-world conditions compared to laboratory testing environments. Many may assume that rigorous lab tests would yield the most accurate estimations of battery lifespan. However, these tests often employ harsher conditions, such as charging them fully and discharging to zero.
In reality, everyday driving habits, characterized by varied speeds and driving patterns, can actually help preserve battery life. These findings overturn the conventional wisdom that real-world usage would equate to faster deterioration.
