4 Charging And Operation Habits For Longer EV Battery Life
4 Charging And Operation Habits For Longer EV Battery Life
On average, electric vehicle batteries last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. That’s longer than the duration of most people owning a vehicle and the life span of an average gas-powered internal combustion engine. However, there are several factors that can affect the longevity of your EV battery.
Read on as Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. shares four tips on how you can maximize the life span and performance of your EV battery.
- Minimize Rapid Charging: Rapid charging is ideal only If you’re on a long drive and need to charge your car quickly. However, doing this regularly will lead to faster wear of the battery. Charging your EV at a normal rate using its dedicated charger is better for your battery’s health.
- Maintain Battery Level Between 20% and 80%: Avoid draining your battery or keeping it completely fully charged. It’s advisable to change the settings on your car or charger to limit the charge to around 80% and keep it above 20%. Even when maintaining your battery level at this range, your EV will still be able to run for about a week.
- Only Charge Your EV to 100% if Needed: For long trips, it’s best to have your EV battery on a full charge. Doing this occasionally won’t degrade your battery. Before your trip, make sure to check if there are charging stations along your route. This will help you determine whether you need to charge your EV to 100%.
- Avoid Parking Your Car for a Long Period: Leaving your EV parked for weeks or months can accelerate the wear on the battery. You should take it for a quick drive every now and then.

Customer Testimonials
Our clients love the energy solutions we provide!
Nick is very well educated on the products industry. He has been in the industry for years now and knows more than anyone else I have spoken to. Its very refreshing to have the owner of the company come out to talk to you about your options compared to a door to door sales guy who cant even answer the most basic questions. Im very happy with the service and attention to detail.

These guys actually know what they are doing and do what they say they are going to do. They are capable in many areas including installing solar panels, Tesla batteries and also HVAC. They complete the whole job with their own employees rather than using outside contractors. We were really pleased with the results on three separate jobs. Thanks.

Nick and Green Air installed our Solar One year ago, it has exceeded its projected output and works great! The work was started and completed on time and Green Air completed all the extra work such as getting permits from the city of Benicia. Green Air employees cleaned up their work site daily and they were a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that we have shrunk our carbon footprint.

Our solar was installed on our house earlier this year. I found Nick and Green Air to be extremely professional, responsive to questions and started and completed the job on time. Nick has a very strong work ethic and was competitive in his pricing as compared to other companies. It’s also nice to know that PG & E is now my customer!
