[quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty well known at this point that NMC lithium ion cells in all devices including EV’s degrade about 10% in the first year or two. Iron phosphate batteries don’t but they are not quite as powerful so are mainly used in base models with single motors. Often there is no further battery degradation after the initial 10% loss even after hundreds of thousands of miles. It depends how often you are draining the battery to 0% and maxing out to 100%. Both are hard on Li ion cells especially if you keep the battery at that level for an extended time. The ideal stable range is to keep the cells at 50-70% charge. (This is about the battery level when you buy a new phone for example.) Again newer Iron phosphate batteries don’t have these issues at all and you are supposed to recharge fully to 100% regularly to maintain reliable voltage readings.[/quote]
