These rising temperatures can\u200c have a significant impact on EV drivers, causing their \u200dcar battery\u2062 power to \u200ddrain more quickly.<\/p>\n<h3>The Effects of Extreme Heat on EVs<\/h3>\n<p>A study conducted by Recurrent Auto has shown\u2063 that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-govt-lockdown-to-last-12-months-expect-repeated-vaccinations\/\" title=\"UK Govt: Lockdown to Last 12+ Months, Expect Repeated Vaccinations\">cold weather<\/a> can\u200b reduce the range of electric vehicles by up to 35%. However, warmer\u2063 temperatures can also have adverse effects on EVs.\u2064 The battery&#8217;s state of health can deteriorate faster, leading to the need for battery replacement \u200dsooner than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Lithium-ion\u200c batteries, which are commonly used \u2064in\u2062 plug-in hybrids \u200band electric vehicles, are particularly susceptible to the\u200b negative \u200beffects of\u200c heat. According to \u2062Greg Less, the technical \u2064director of the University of Michigan Battery \u2062Lab, temperatures above 104 degrees \u2062Fahrenheit can\u200b cause a breakdown of the passive emission \u2063layer on the battery&#8217;s anode.\u200d This\u200d breakdown leads to the\u2062 consumption of the\u200c liquid electrolyte, ultimately \u2063shortening the battery&#8217;s lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>While\u200c hot temperatures\u200c don&#8217;t have as \u2062drastic of an effect as cold temperatures, AAA reports\u200d that when\u200c temperatures reach \u206495 \u200ddegrees Fahrenheit and the air conditioning \u200bis on, the \u200bdriving range of an \u2064EV decreases by\u200d an average of 17%.<\/p>\n<h3>Proper Care for Longevity<\/h3>\n<p>Most EV batteries have a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years. However, proper care is crucial for maximizing the \u2064longevity of the vehicle. Recurrent Auto recommends parking your EV\u2063 in\u200d the shade during the warm months and\u2064 allowing the car to cool down before charging.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/millions-without-power-in-texas-energy-prices-climb\/\" title=\"Millions Without Power In Texas; Energy Prices Climb\">summer heat<\/a> take a toll on your electric vehicle. \u200dTake the necessary steps to protect your battery \u2063and ensure optimal performance throughout the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>during the summer affects electric vehicle performance, prompting owners to make extra preparations.
