\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEver noticed how your smartphone\u2019s battery loses battery life over the years? \n

\nThat\u2019s called battery degradation, and unfortunately, it also happens in electric cars (or any other rechargeable Li-Ion Battery)! Luckily for you, most electric cars offer a multitude of measures in-built to slow down the battery degradation process. \n

\nSo how much range does your electric car\u2019s battery actually lose each year? This is an important consideration before you decide to purchase an electric car, and battery longevity has been a huge concern for many. \n

\nThere are many factors that affect the rate at which your battery degrades, from your charging habits, mileage, and even the technological and chemical construction of your battery cells. Let\u2019s take a closer look at 4 common reasons why your EV\u2019s battery might degrade faster.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

FAST CHARGING<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWith the long charging time being a big blocker for EV adoption, the usage and installation of fast charging outlets have its obvious benefits. However, there\u2019s a hidden drawback that many might not be aware of\u2026 \n

\nThe increased thermal load that\u2019s produced by fast charging can actually damage the internal components of an EV\u2019s battery cell. This then leads to fewer Li-ions being able to transfer from the cathode to the anode, affecting its energy storage capabilities.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoth cold and hot climates can slow down an EV\u2019s charging rate and have a big influence on the rate of Li-battery degradation. This is because the temperature of the environment where your car is in will impact the rate and efficiency of chemical reactions inside the battery.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTypically, an electric car\u2019s battery can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. This is good news for Singaporean drivers as most of us drive the same car for less than 10 years due to the COE premiums.\n

\nHowever, just like all electronic devices, time and wear and tear is the biggest factor for battery degradation. This is something that we can\u2019t control.\n

\nInstead, you sure ensure that your EV\u2019s battery is covered by warranties for added peace of mind.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

YOUR MILEAGE\u200b<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSimilarly, your EV\u2019s battery will experience more wear on its cells when it goes through more charge cycles. Just like how your phone\u2019s battery health diminishes over the years with every charge, the same can happen to your electric car too.\n

\nThe more mileage you clock means you\u2019ll need to charge your car more, which can accelerate battery degradation!\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
