What are the common reasons for the decline in battery life of electric vehicles?

With the development of science and technology and the deepening of environmental protection concepts, electric bicycles are becoming more and more popular among people. However, many consumers find that the service life of electric bicycles is not as long as expected, which brings a lot of inconvenience to actual use.

This article will conduct an in-depth study and explore the main reasons for the decline in battery life of electric bicycles to help consumers better understand this phenomenon.

1. Battery aging

The battery is the core component of an electric bicycle, and its performance directly determines the endurance of the entire vehicle. Battery aging is the most common cause of reduced e-bike battery life.

Over time, the chemicals in the battery will irreversibly decay, resulting in reduced battery capacity and shortened charging time, thus affecting the battery's endurance. In addition, incorrect charging methods, overcharge and over-discharge will accelerate the aging of the battery and reduce the battery life.

2. Body weight

The weight of an electric bicycle is also an important economic factor that affects battery life. The heavier the vehicle body, the greater the resistance that can be overcome during driving management, and the cost of power consumption will increase accordingly. Many friends who buy rice and other household items will choose to use electric vehicles to transport them, which will greatly increase the weight of the vehicle body and reduce the cruising range.

3. Driving environment

The endurance of electric bicycles will also be affected by the driving environment. In severe weather conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, rain and snow, the endurance of electric bicycles will be greatly affected.

The main reason for this is that harsh environmental weather will cause battery system performance to continue to decline and power consumption to increase. Especially in winter, whether it is lithium battery development or lead-acid battery, battery life will generally drop by about 50%.

In addition, road conditions are also one of the factors that affect battery life. Driving on rough or congested roads will greatly increase the power consumption of an e-bike, thereby shortening the actual range.

4. Maintenance status

The state of repair of an e-bike can also affect its durability. Some consumers do not pay attention to vehicle maintenance and upkeep during use, resulting in reduced vehicle performance and reduced battery life.

For example, irregular cleaning of bicycle wheels, checking tire pressure, etc. may cause resistance in the process of safe driving management of social vehicles, which in turn may affect the maximum cruising range. In addition, incorrect usage and learning habits, such as frequent use of fast forward gears, rapid acceleration, etc., will also lead to increased system power consumption and shortened cruising range.

To sum up, the reasons for the decline in the mileage of electric bicycles mainly include battery aging, vehicle body weight, driving environment and maintenance conditions. In order to improve the durability of e-bikes, consumers should pay attention to regular battery inspection and maintenance
