Is it ok to charge part-used EV battery every day?
My job has changed from using the full (20-24m) battery range every day, to doing maybe 10 or 15m with charge remaining.
So, am I ok to carry on my habit of plugging it in every evening when I get home, or is there some 'memory effect' that I need to avoid, by fully depleting it etc? It's a V60 D6 PHEV. |
Its a piece of string question.
In an ideal world the answer is "no", but then most cars have bettery conditioning circuitry which counters that to a large degree. Mrs Familyman plugs in her Mini when it is moderately low on electrons in the tank. |
Can't wait for all these EV owners to have to replace the batteries ! What a joy to see their faces when the bill to replace is more than the car, then find out nobody wants to pay ridiculous amounts for a second hand problem trap. Oh how I will laugh when all the sob posts start appearing. About a month ago in local Tesco's, within a week Isaw emergancy services trying to break into THREE cars that were plugged in to charge up, seems like the system locks and refuses to open, and they were all different makes as well !

That's helpful, thanks.
I like my diesel electric:speechless-smiley-5 |

Bit like garages filling a tank with the wrong fuel (it happens). Anyway, I'll charge my car from my house 3 pin plug every night and glide around until the diesel kicks in. |
