Ok, time for a little Hopium.

New York City is due to get 5,000 new EV chargers through an alliance between a parking operator and charging-infrastructure company.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Hudson Valley Parking Trust, which recently acquired Icon Parking, New York City's largest purveyor of parking spots, is working with Invisible Urban Charging (IUC) to install the chargers at parking sites it controls, the organizations jointly revealed earlier this month.
IUC is the same company that in 2022 unveiled a plan to double the number of EV chargers in Florida.

Kub was only telling me a month ago that EV sales were strong globally, he didn't cite it, but that was China, all the lies of the communist state. Well times change.

Consumer spending slowdown hits BEVs hardest in the world's second-biggest economy

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')attery-electric vehicle sales in July saw a second month of decline in China while plug-in hybrid powered vehicles registered a surge.

According to figures released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), BEVs saw 551,000 units sold last month, up 2.6% year-on-year but 10% lower than in June, reports Chinese automotive website CnEVPost.

Of course not! You're still watching soundbites of Biden telling you the Great EV transition is surging ahead. You're the guy with the Sony Walkman.

I've been seeing some posts from Lucky suggesting EV batteries die at 8 years. The report below suggests the battery on your average new EV will still have over 80% SOH at 12 years. It also reports this is an improvement from their last report 5 years ago as the rate of battery degradation has slowed down with the newer EVs/batteries. This implies new EVs are getting better at slowing down battery degradation vs older EVs. Good to know the tech is getting better over time.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')eptember 3, 2024 - A lot has changed in the world of electric vehicles over the past five years. When we analyzed EV battery health (and published the original results in this blog post) in 2019, we found EV batteries degraded, on average, at 2.3% per year. Of course, some EVs performed better and others less well, but the average was surprisingly good. In 2024, we performed a new analysis and the results indicate that EV batteries have improved significantly, degrading at 1.8% per year on average.

How often do EV batteries need to be replaced?
According to our data, the simple answer is that the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle and will never need to be replaced. If an average EV battery degrades at 1.8% per year, it will still have over 80% state of health after 12 years, generally beyond the usual life of a fleet vehicle.

That’s the simple answer, but the question of how long does an electric car battery last is complicated and numerous factors determine EV battery longevity.

Common factors impacting electric car battery life

In general, today’s battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) use lithium-ion batteries. Several key factors determine how long lithium vehicle batteries last and the rate at which their range declines. These include:
* Age
* Temperature
* Operating state of charge
* AC vs DC charging
* Usage (energy cycles)
* Battery chemistry
* Battery system and thermal management components

How does temperature affect EV battery life?
As illustrated below in figure 3, vehicles driven in hot climates showed a notably faster rate of decline than those driven in moderate climates. This is not great news if you and your fleet toil under the hot sun but keep reading for best practices to reduce the impact of heat on your fleet.

How do vehicle make, model and year affect battery performance?
Our data shows that vehicle batteries respond differently to the test of time, depending on their make and model year. Why do some vehicle models, on average, degrade faster than others? Two potential contributors are battery chemistry and the thermal management of the battery pack.

Liquid cooling vs air cooling: which is better for EV battery longevity?
Let’s compare a vehicle with a liquid cooling system to one with a passive air cooling system: the 2015 Tesla Model S and the 2015 Nissan Leaf, respectively. The Leaf has an average degradation rate of 4.2%, while the Model S is 2.3%. Based on this comparison, good thermal management offers better protection against battery degradation.

How do charging methods affect battery health?
The use of DCFC equipment[Fast Charge] does appear to significantly impact the rate at which batteries degrade. Rapidly charging a battery means high currents, resulting in high temperatures, both of which strain batteries. In fact, many automakers suggest drivers and fleet managers limit the use of DC fast charging to prolong their electric vehicles’ battery life.

State of charge, charging buffers and their impact on EV battery lifespan
The Chevrolet Volt (now discontinued) had comparatively large top and bottom protection buffers (regions A and D above) that dynamically changed as the battery aged. While the larger buffers meant less energy for driving, it resulted in a longer-lasting battery pack. Given the larger SOC buffers, liquid thermal management and dynamic (decreasing) buffer size, Volt users could expect slower-than-average degradation rates, and our data bear this out (as shown in figure 9 below).

Conclusion: Operators can be confident that EV batteries will last as long as they need them
While EV batteries degrade at different rates depending on model and external conditions, our data indicate that most electric vehicles today have not experienced a significant decline in battery life. In 2019, we assessed the average EV battery degradation rate at 2.3% per year and the rate under ideal climate and charging conditions at an impressive 1.6%. In our most recent research, including many newer models, we found an average rate of 1.8% and the best performers declined only 1% per year or less.

So, how long do electric car batteries last? Numerous factors determine an electric vehicle battery’s lifespan, but on average, EV batteries will outlast the useful life of their vehicle, especially if drivers follow charging and driving best practices.

Optimistic Mindset Linked to Poor Decision-Making

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')lthough a positive mindset is often associated with success, a new study suggests that excessive optimism often leads to poor decision-making, especially when it comes to finances.

The study, conducted by the University of Bath in the United Kingdom and published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, sought to determine whether people with an optimistic mindset had worse decision-making cognition than people who were more realistic. The researchers found that people with lower cognitive function tended to be more optimistic, which led them to make poor financial decisions.
