As electric vehicles are getting more popular battery technology has become a focus of interest. EV owners regularly ask themselves how to treat a vehicle’s battery. How should an EV be charged, parked or driven if the inside batteries should be kept in best possible shape?
Prof. David Howey from the University of Oxford researches topics such as the degradation of batteries and battery state of health. This follow-up podcast deals with the following user questions.
1) How to „use batteries better“ with battery lifetime models
2) How can a commercially battery be measured?
3) Battery heating and cooling systems in Chinese EVs
4) Best temperature for LFP home storage battery systems
5) Less battery degradation when keeping your EV in the shade?
6) „Rebooting a battery“ after deep discharging?
7) How to recover a battery’s capacity?
8) Problems with a State of Charge algorithm
9) Charging algorithms for EVs at public charging stations
10) The impact of fast charging on a battery state of health
11) Will we ever see „forever batteries“?
12) Battery Models for grid storage systems: Lifetime vs. expected Revenue
Dear listeners, thank you so much for sending in all your questions. We unfortunately couldnt deal with all of them.
