Battery Degradation & Range after 2 Years On My Nexon EV

[@geekyranjit]

NOTE: Please watch this video that I had posted earlier to get a context about this video and what you need to know about charging setup, before buying a EV Car in India kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH60q2qmpaamnZo

[@caabhishekmahajan3219]

Hi @geekyranjit ,Greetings from Sydney Au. Love your content. I have been driving a Tesla Model Y with LFP battery for a couple of years now.Just a few pointers on the video: 1. LFP batteries, just like any other batteries, do not "Like" to be charged to 100pc. They are just more robust than Cobalt Mangense based batteries, and will get more charge cycles compared to the NMC ones. 2. 100pc charging is usually done to calibrate the BMS, as you rightly mentioned, as the voltage curve of LFP batteries is pretty flat, unless they are either at 100pc or single digits. Tesla recommends we charge the LFP to 100pc once a week, whereas Ford recommends to do so once a month at least, again for the BMS calibration. 3. The Battery University conducted several experiments where charging within the range 50-70% increased the longevity of the batteries to a considerable amount. I understand this might not be practical for a lot of EV owners esp who live in an apartment. Just quoting in case where longevity is the only factor. Highly recommend you check this study out. Either way LFP batteries in an average scenario would easily outlast any EV ownership as they can go for many 100,000's of miles. Hope this adds some value to your EV ownership. Great job on KZbin again.

Don't own an EV car right now but it always feels good to watch your videos for knowledge purposes which will help me later on.

[@AspirantRanjan-vc2xc]

Well explained 👏 charging at the right time and at the right battery percentage is very important

[@7567_Rex]

For new owners thumb rule is simple, charge to 100% if LFP and 80% if NMC as such also the cars which are coming with NMC are costlier ones like Ioniq 5 (xuv400 will be discontinued soon) for those cars one doesn’t have to Manually switch off charging as they have such features in car itself or the mobile app (custom charge limit for home charging) Further this LFP balancing issue is also only limited to budget cars as they don’t have active balancing. Cars like model 3 and y also use LFP but they have active balancing so even opportunity charging won’t be problematic Not sure about Mahindra but since they are using BYD Blade, I expect them to be free from this balancing routine as well

[@NalinKhurb]

What about MG cars, do they use lfp

[@7567_Rex]

@ yes comet is using same LFP as Tata ZS is using CATL Windsor is using third lesser known brand

[@NalinKhurb]

@@7567_Rex thanks

[@yogendergera4688]

Mahindra XUV400 Manual advice 100% charge each time and it has NMC chemistry. Absolutely no issue with cell balancing unlike LFP chemistry. Have driven approximate 25k without any range drop

[@7567_Rex]

@ so it seems even xuv400 is having passive balancing then Cell balancing mechanisms aren’t chemistry agnostic per se but yes since NMC was always costlier than LFP and used in higher segment vehicles, most of them always had active balancing It would be sensible to have passive bracing on sub20L cars be it NMC or LFP

[@pradeepmalar327]

Not an EV car, but we got Ather 450X almost a month ago. About 100km range, which is more than enough for daily commute(about 50km for college travel per day). Yes, the faster modes will drain a lot more battery, but so far, we didn't need to travel more than 70km in a day. And yes, draining it till 20-25% will be optimal. Not too many charging frequency, and also not too low to stress the battery while charging.

[@handullradaai]

But ather uses NMC. So what Ranjith mentioned doesn't apply. You need not charge to 100 everytime. In fact better stop at 80 as someone explained in detail in a previous comment.

@handullradaai yeah. I say that to my brother all the time, but he wouldn't listen 😔

[@handullradaai]

@@pradeepmalar327 it's okay. No need to stress out on these intricate details. Almost all batteries are designed with a 10 year life as target. That's why companies give 8 years warranty which shows their level of confidence. After a decade, I'm sure other parts of ather will give out before the battery.

Ec3 owner here!!!! Here are my stats. 1 year 9 month - 52k km done , that means almost 5 Lakh rupees saved on petrol and engine oil etc. I only pay for fast charging, because my office provides complimentary slow charging without extra cost. I have roughly spent ₹ 9000-10000 in total in terms of charging. Price of my vehicle after subsidy and modifications is 12.8 lakh in total. Battery depleted by almost 2 percent. Earlier it was showing 240 on full charge now it shows 232km. I need to run this vehicle for 1.4 Lakh km in total which i will achieve in max 3 years. After that the price which i paid for my car will be covered , and then ill sell it for 2.5-3 Lakh rupees. If you ignore the inflation, ill be in profit after selling my car and driving it for 1.4 lakh km in 5 years. I hope this stats helped you. Btw , Im not a car enthusiast, im more of a bike person. I’ll never buy an ev Bike or scooter, but honestly I will never buy a ICE vehicle again, my next vehicle would be Byd (if govt reduces tax on chinese car) otherwise mahindra is goooooood !!!!!

[@AntiNatalAtheist]

Are you sure your car will get sold after 1.4 lakh km and end of battery life ?? Because new buyer will have to keep money ready for battery, against which he may choose to buy a brand new car instead .

[@dhruvalshrestha1672]

@@AntiNatalAtheist don't you think that battery price will decrease in future? And moreover I think ₹3L for an electric car that can do 190-200 km on full charge , having no 15 year limitation would actually make sense for many guys. Some of them would even think like me ,i.e., if i run this car for 30,000 km it will recover its 3L rupees cost in terms of petrol. And moreover, have you ever seen a petrol car (not cng) giving milege of more than 10 kmpl with ac on and 1.4 L km on its odometer? P.s. I did all the calculations. If you are not a car enthusiast and daily running is >70km , buying an ev car that costs less than 18L on road will be no nonsense in long term!!!!

Golden rules with LFP. 👉 Charge to 100% once a week or at least once a month on slow AC charge. 👉 LFP have 100% Dod(Depth of discharge). So drain your batteries to less than 10% whenever you get a chance. Again charge on AC to 100% 👉 DC Rapid charging frequently is fine as long as it you ac charge back to 100%. 👉 Cell balancing happens on AC at 100%

[@saurabhchandra6267]

[@jasonred1258]

Sorry Ranjit, I disagree. However I love your series and I am subscribed to your channel. I do have two vehicles one with NMC and almost 2 year older with LFP chemistries. I used to create my own Nimh batteries for my RC cars 18 years ago, later moved to Lithium polymer batteries for my RC planes and drones, while the very first EV cars were still using NiMH batteries (for safety) Lead Acid: (home inverters / cars) Degradation happens if your charge goes below 50% of SOC. Lithium-Ion: (phones, electronics, ev cars etc)There is a wide variety of chemistries. These batteries give you the best life while running them between 20%-80%. Some batteries are affected more and some are affected less. Lithium iron phosphate - Lfp-(LiFePO4), batteries get less affected when charged to higher capacities and is needed for cell balancing and range information projection. For regular users I would suggest that they charge to full once in couple of weeks. Do not take it below 10%. Try to keep between 20% to 80%. Your Situation: I am long time viewer of your channel, from which I gather that you slow charge your ev for most of the time. Fast charging all the time does degrade the battery due to high heat generation, so my take is that your battery is at its best, because you had always been slow charging your Nexon EV. There are many youtube videos that I saw where they have mentioned the display requesting slow charge after multiple dc fast charging.

[@Bhandari_Baba]

Have been owning a Tiago ev since the last 1.5 yrs. I only charge till 100% occassionally. The car has run about 12k kms(very less mileage relative to the ownership duration). However I've done 2500 km (round) road trips on the car twice. The whole duration charged on fast chargers. Heck i dont even have a charger of mine installed, everything on public fast and slow chargers. Even after that i dont see any degradations. They might creep up couple of years down the line, maybe they won't. The thing to remember is that the batteries can go 2000-3000 cycles before major degradations. For a car like Tiago, if you take an average of 170kms/charge, that's 3.4L-5.1L kms. I don't think anybody's going to keep the car for so long to actually face that scenario. So for people who use EVs range anxiety isn't an issue once they have pushed their car to the limits. Plus, the longevity also shouldn't be an issue, however lack of adequate quality controls might be a concern. Plus the added advantage of low running and maintenance cost is just amazing. My 1k km trip cost stays under 3k, that too all public fast chargers, which is amazing! My whole family travels at 1/4th the price of a train travel! Even if i include stays, it's still less than half the cost of train travel!

[@xjdisuehd]

I work in automotive segment and am working in battery packs department, especially in LFP battery packs. If possible, please pin this comment and will help people to maintain their battery, and there is a high chance, the battery will actually outlast the vehicle. 1. LFP batteries, just by their nature, create difficulties in the BMS (battery management system to know for sure their top and bottom portions of the battery pack, i.e., their 100% charge levels. So, every once in a month charge your car to 100% and keep it charging, so that it helps BMS to calibrate 100%. 2. Do not try to use the bottom 5% of your car's range with driving. Sometimes you can go for as much as 10-20 miles below 0% and sometimes, your car will stop at 3%. When not expexcting to use the car during a weekend or something, maybe about once every year, turn your climate control to full heat or cool when parked and drain the battery completely, and then charge to 100%. This helps with calibration on the bottom of the battery side. 3. Keep your LFP battery SoC anywhere between 50-70% usually. This is before the car's BMS starts cell or module balancing and is usually the SoC to keep your battery health good. Of course, this also depends on the battery OEM, but 50-70% is a good thumb rule. Too low of a charge and then when you plug in, charging to higher percentages promotes dendrite formation. So, for daily use, try to keep the charging discharging cycle within 20%. For example, if you start your day with 60%, and the day ends at 45%, that is a 15% charge difference, and most LFP batteries don't even get damaged. But if you wait to charge it till 70% when the battery drops down to 20% and then charge to 70%, the dendrite formation occurs. 4. You do NOT need to charge it daily. 5. Indian summers and North Indian winters are both not very suitable for the battery. So, if your car has battery temperature regulating feature while it is turned off, use that feature. Remember to have the car plugged in while this feature is active, otherwise it uses the battery power to regulate the battery temperature. 6. On road trips, charge your batteries before they drop below 10%, as LFP batteries cannot charge at their top speed when their voltage is at the bottom. They need some higher voltage than at the bottom of the battery pack. So, you should get the highest speeds from 10% to up to 80/85%, depending upon your car's battery architecture. 7. If you live where the water is very hard, or the soil has lots of salt contents, regularly wash your car and don't forget to wash underneath too, but with softened water. Removing the scaling stuff will maintain corrosion and keep your battery pack watertight. About 75% of battery claims we get under warranty is due to snow accumulation and the snow is usually salted in Northern US/Canada.

[@7567_Rex]

@@THENICKTIN SSB is unfortunately same fate as fusion energy and hydrogen There is very popular joke in science community that fusion power has been “just 20 years away” since 1960s Similarly SSB has been reduced to a tool of Osborne effect against EVs by Japanese manufacturers in hopes to delay EV transition First they show some bs unrealistic range and charging time claims then say we will make this battery in 20XX You can actually find multiple backdate articles like these according to which we should’ve had SSB in 2020 itself (2015 article) Whereas in china you’re already having CATL Shenxing LFP and CATL qilin NMC which are 4C and 5C charging speeds even without solid state batteries

Sir i want your advise ,i know it makes no sense but still i was planning to buy tata harrier but now with recent release of be6 i am confused!! After seeing ite interior, all cars look so primitive!! But as it ks going to be first batch , unexpected problems and all..your suggestion on this!ty in adv sir

[@tuhinroy8762]

What do you think about Windsor?

[@रोहित1]

Is the new battery on nexon ev45 lfp or nmc??

[@geekyranjit]

All tata cars only have LFP batteries.

[@sureshchaithra3873]

Sir we want your tips on NMC/ lithium-ion batteries managemet for improve life span of these batteries. I am just new comer to ev scooter

[@geekyranjit]

See with NMC batteries, you should not charge it above 80% often, you can go upto 100% when you are planing to do a longer ride but not often, another thing with NMC batteries is don't drain them below 20% often as they like to be between 20-80% charge. But one good thing with NMC batteries is that you can often do small top-ups to it, unlike the LFP batteries where frequent top-ups (opportunity charging is not recommended). With ev Scooters that use NMC batteries you might have to replace them in about 4-5 odd years, as NMC charge cycles are typically about 700-750 charge cycles, unlike LPF which is about 2000-3000 charge cycles, but LFP is not generally used in 2 wheelers as they are heavier batteries.

[@HSRFFAN1981]

Dear Ranjith anna, please make a video on EV 2 wheelers as well, I'm planning to purchase one for my amma. Thanks a lot.

What type of batyery tiago ev has ?.. i am using taigo ev long range and i het practical range of 190km(i keep regen at level 3 ) with AC onn ,

[@vishverma420]

That’s a good range for the 24KWh battery. Even I’m getting that range on my Tiago EV and even more in winters. Now I don’t think twice before taking it out for a short trip of 140-150Km total to and fro even with no chargers on my way. They battery performance is very reliable

[@adithyanarayanabhat617]

[@princewilfred8200]

Hi. Did you get HV critical error?

[@geekyranjit]

Nope, didn't get it till now...... One of my friend got it and he was also having issues with sudden drop of range later on for a while, the car was also sent to Tata service for the same later the cause was due to his frequent opportunity charging as his office offered free charging. Now he is following that 100% charge and maintaining proper charging and it didn't happen again to him.

EV is for those who clock many kilometers. It justifies the upfront cost. But i also believe the resale for these cars would be a challenge anyone have any experience?

Good Evening 😃

[@Lovnish421]

I follow your advice and charge my Tiago ev 100 percent but tata dealership advice against it. Perhaps tata needs to learn itself , i find they have limited ev knowledge

[@cosmosredshift5445]

Think about that you are selling ev after 5-6 years of use what will be the depreciation What If 7-8 years?

Can you please explain how to maintain less than 130 kw/hr

[@srikard1564]

I have 15 lakhs iam confused between tata curvv petrol pure plus s or tata nexon creative 45 iam living in conjusted city area so if i want to home charge it will take about 50 or 100 meteres for the wire to charge nexon monthly running will be around 800km please suggest what should i do❤

[@sunitization]

Running is very low. Go for petrol car.

[@sayanchx]

Ask in your community for setting up a shared charging location. Lots of vendors are offering the product. Once you experience the comfort of ev driving you will never want to go to ice vehicles again!

[@gaganob]

I still drive the Brezza diesel, and it still has 5 years left as per NCR rules 😂😂

I have a electric cycle and already replaced 1 motor, 2 controller. I dont think ev is not practical for long term use

[@abhinavverma6035]

For 20000km, money saved on petrol is approx 1.2 lakh according to me, assuming petrol price as 100 rs and mileage of petrol nexon as 15 km/l. Probably mileage is lesser than this in city in actual conditions which makes profit even more.

[@Zeunknown1234]

Until electricity rate is hiked because of demand.

[@amangupta9664]

i wanted to buy a electric car but still i fear that an electric car can't serve as a primary car in 2024 it will still take 5-10 years for the infrastructure to develop properly.

[@ridhamh2966]

Exactly. The government must recognize that without mandating robust charging infrastructure or providing substantial subsidies for its development, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) will take significantly longer. While people are increasingly willing to purchase EVs, the lack of accessible charging solutions discourages the majority-90% of potential buyers-from making the switch.

[@sayeretmatkaal]

I think the EVs are first bought by commuters, mostly. Then come the speed-freaks. The last to go for EVs are highway tourers and off-roaders, who like to upgrade & modify their vehicles, it's easier with ICE. By the time EV technology & maintenance hits the highways & villages, I am sure the charging network will also grow. We have to start SOMEWHERE ! So I use a Nexon EV for city commuting and Gurkha Diesel for all outstation travel.

Home charging

[@surendradhakal4804]

I am doing 100% charge every time and it's from home only. Just completed 1 year but never got milage that tata claimed. Mine is tiago ev. My AEC was 109 before but now average is 82 only. They were keeping telling me that to get the good milage AEC should be 70 to 90 and AC should be 25 degree above and fan should be below level 3. I was driving in 82 AEC, Fan 1 and AC 26.5 degree but still milage is 135 in 100% charge. Company claimed 315 km in 100 percent charge. I went to showroom and check with more than 50 people whosoever is coming, it were having same issue like me. I personally check their dashboard monitor as well. I dont know why tata false claims never get highlighted?

[@mattgt5000]

Ranjith sir I have heard that you need to charge the EV vehicles to 80 percent to increase the battery life of the vehicle. Is this true sir?????
