Looking after an EV battery
An EV battery is built to last many years. A few everyday habits make a real difference to how much range it keeps.
Five habits that help
Charge to about 80% day to day
Save 100% for long trips, if your manufacturer allows a charge limit.
Avoid running near empty
Frequent deep discharges stress the cells more than topping up.
Park in the shade
Heat is the biggest cause of battery ageing — especially when fully charged.
Use fast charging when you need it
Rapid charging is fine on trips; slower charging is gentler for daily use.
Check battery health yearly
A state-of-health report spots weak modules before they affect range.
