I drove pure electric (bmw i3) for 7+ years, and i'm unclear on what "age" means here, since recharge cycles I thought of as defining age, combined with the ambient temps of the battery pack during discharge and recharge.
- ms512 3y agoRechargeable battery wear can be separated out into (1) cycle aging and (2) calendar aging. One of those typically dominates the total battery degradation, depending on the use case. EVs for personal use tend to have calendar aging dominate the overall battery degradation early in their life.
- jackmott42 3y agoThe other reply got it right, but I would add that the higher the temperature the faster the pack degrades, even when it is just sitting there.
