Minimalist Guide to Electric Vehicle Battery Use in Winter

Core Principles

Avoid low temperatures, minimize deep discharge, charge as you ride—prioritize charging/discharging efficiency and battery lifespan.

1. Key Charging Practices

• Charge only in environments where the temperature is above 0℃; avoid open-air low-temperature areas.

• Charge as you ride: Do not wait until the battery is fully depleted before charging. It is sufficient to charge to 80%-90% each time (full charging is unnecessary).

2. Storage Precautions

• For long-term parking, choose a warm and dry location; avoid storing the battery in open-air low-temperature conditions.

• Before parking, ensure the battery retains 50%-70% charge, and recharge it every 1-2 weeks.

3. Driving Energy Consumption Control

• After starting the vehicle, drive at a low speed for 1-2 minutes to preheat the battery before accelerating normally.

• Avoid frequent rapid acceleration and sudden braking to reduce high-energy-consumption operations.

4. Range Estimation Reference

• The actual driving range in winter is approximately 42%-50% of that in summer. Plan your travel route in advance to avoid running out of power midway.
