Nearly all EV's today would run just fine on 3.7 volts fewer. My car's high voltage circuitry seems to work down to about half of the nominal voltage.

- lillecarl 1y agoIs the failure mode of whatever chemistry is in an EV that they just conduct electricity? Li-Po usually fail in more spectacular ways than so.
- namibj 1y agoThere's NCA (drones), NMC (laptops, phones, many electric cars), LFP (stationary/grid), and LFMP (many new electric cars; slightly more expensive but higher current variant of LFP).
- londons_explore 1y agoYes, this happens sometimes. Search this page for "PTC": https://www.electricbike.com/inside-18650-cell/ https://www.electricbike.com/inside-18650-cell/ The PTC protects the rest of the battery if a single cell internally fails short.
