Charge Smart
When it comes to charging your hybrid or EV battery, it's important to charge smartly. Avoid letting the battery drain completely before recharging and try to keep your battery between 20-80% charge whenever possible. This will help prolong the battery's overall lifespan.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Just like us, hybrid and EV batteries prefer moderate temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can have a negative impact on your batteries health. If possible, park your car in a shaded area during hot summer days and avoid exposing it to extreme cold for prolonged periods.
Regular Maintenance
Just like any other vehicle, regular maintenance is essential for your hybrid and EV’s battery health. Follow the manufacturer's recommended EV battery maintenance schedule, including checking battery coolant levels, tire pressure, and overall system diagnostics .
Avoid Fast Charging Too Often
While fast charging is convenient, relying on it too often can impact the long-term health of your battery. Try to balance fast charging with regular home charging to reduce stress and to prolong the life of your hybrid and EV battery.
