Is it true that you’re damaging your electric car battery if you let it get below 20%?Effects of Low Battery Charge on Electric Car Batteries.

Battery Capacity:

Capacity Decrease: Frequently allowing an electric car battery to fall below 20% can reduce the overall capacity of the battery over time.

Range Reduction:

This reduction in capacity can result in a decrease in the range of the electric vehicle.

Battery Life:

Shortened Life: Consistently allowing an electric car battery to fall below 20% can shorten the overall life of the battery.

Battery Degradation:

Over time, this battery degradation can result in the need for an earlier battery replacement.

Charging Habits:

Regular Charging: To help prolong the life and performance of an electric car battery, it is recommended to regularly charge the battery to a level above 20%.

Avoiding Deep Discharge:

Avoiding deep discharge, or letting the battery level fall below 20%, can help maintain the battery's overall health and performance.

Battery Management Systems:

Battery Management: Modern electric cars often have a battery management system that monitors the battery's health and performance, including the battery level.

Charging Recommendations:

This system may provide recommendations for charging the battery to maintain its overall health and performance, including avoiding deep discharge.

Overall Impact:

Maintenance of Battery: To maintain the health and performance of an electric car battery, it is important to regularly charge the battery to a level above 20% and avoid deep discharge.
