YOGYAKARTA - Electric cars are increasingly popular in Indonesia. The government also continues to encourage the climate for the use of electric vehicles. However, some people are still hesitant to buy electric cars because they consider battery life. How long is the battery life of electric cars.

Electric car fuel is different from conventional vehicles that use fuel oil (BBM). Electric vehicles can only be driven using battery power. The batteries used are not the same as those on gadgets, such as smartphones or laptops.

The battery is a component that is very much noticed by electric car buyers. The durability and battery conditions greatly affect the convenience of using the car. Many people are still worried about running out of batteries while traveling.

Electric car batteries have different ages from one vehicle to another. Each automotive manufacturer emits a battery with a different durability. However, the average age of electric car batteries can be up to 10-15 years. If in a matter of distance it can reach 200 thousand km.

For example, the Nissan electric car battery can last up to 10-12 years. Electric vehicle manufacturers also continue to develop technology in order to create a durable battery. In addition, each brand also tries to bring better performance than the previous output.

For example, the Tesla manufacturer, has launched an electric car equipped with batteries that can work up to 1500 cycles of charge or the equivalent of 800 thousand km on the odometer.

The batteries used in electric cars are almost all lithium ions. These batteries will experience a reduction or depletion when electric cars are driven. Then the battery will be charged when charged. Electric car battery cycle impacts how much power can be accommodated.

The durability or age of electric batteries is highly dependent on many factors. There are external factors that affect the electric car battery, but you can't control it. This factor is about temperature. Excessive temperatures, either too cold or too hot, will cause a negative effect on the durability of electric cars.

Temperatures also affect the distance that electric cars can take. Temperatures that are too hot can make the battery usage period decrease faster. Meanwhile, cold temperatures can make the distance shorter than when it is hot. You could say electric car batteries are suitable for use in tropical Indonesia.

Another factor that affects the age of an electric car is charging. Excessive charging can result in chemical changes in the battery. This condition can affect the efficiency of negative energy storage. Keep in mind, emptying electric cars also opens good steps.

Battery lithium-ion generally works in the best performance when its capacity is between 50% and 80%. The last 20% charging also takes longer than the first 80%.

When discussing the battery capacity of electric cars, it is always associated with the term kilowatt-hour (kWH). The more kilowatt-hours owned by electric cars, the better. With higher kWH, it's like buying a vehicle with a larger gasoline tank. The higher the kWH or greater the capacity of the Jarah food tank that can be reached will be further away.

Keep in mind that electric cars have a management system that prevents vehicles from carrying out full charging or full emptying. This determines the lifespan of electric car batteries that can last long or short.

Demikian penjelasan mengenai berapa lama tahan baterai mobil listrik. Setiap brand mobil listrik menghadirkan baterai dengan usia yang berbeda-beda. Ada banyak faktor juga yang mempengaruhi daya dukungan baterai. Selain itu, jangan lupa juga bahwa perawatan atau penggunaan juga dapat mempengaruhi usia baterai.
