How Long Will My Tesla Model 3's Battery Last?
People often wonder how long an EV battery will last. You probably hear people spouting 'Your EV battery will need a replacement in a couple years!' But that's not the truth about EV battery lifespan at all. Electric car batteries last a LOT longer than what you might think; EV battery longevity measured in the hundreds of thousands of kilometers--maybe even more; even after taking degradation into consideration.

Why Did My Electric Skateboard Run Out Of Batteries Prematurely?

    You should never charge an EV with one of these high frequency, transformerless inverters, because they provide absolutely no galvanic isolation between its DC boost stage and its AC output. Without galvanic isolation, all it would take would be for a single MOSFET or IGBT to short to ground and this inverter can pass high, high amperage DC current straight though your EVSE and on to your EV's onboard charger, and that can not only damage your EV's onboard charger, but can even set your EV on fire. If you want to safely charge your EV with solar, you should be using a low frequency, transformer based inverter instead.

  • @samburnside3504
    @samburnside3504 3 дня назад

    Good video and shows the potential, I think the issues aren't going to be the useful life of the battery but more the point you picked up on premature failure of a component which then means the battery stops working. Manufacturers currently replace the battery rather than repair which is the wrong way round, hopefully here in the UK battery repairers will increase. If it was an ice vehicle it would be like replacement the entire engine because an Injector went which would be crazy!

    You could get more range if you continue riding low and steady speed, and it depends on the gears and VESC setups. If your VESC is heating over 50 c (120 F+), then efficiency is loss. Because heat creates resistance, and sometime half of those current from your battery pack is gone with the heat. I did from Chiang Mai to Pai in Thailand during the tropical season (late monsoons). The distance is about 90 miles. The way I conserved the battery is to go slow and steady speed to avoid overheat the VESC. It took me 2 recharges to get over mountain passes with my 85L backpack.

    Great camp my friend - you may want to try the FlexTail Mosquito repellent lantern, requires no fuel - just a rechargeable battery. I have used it since last year and does it ever make a huge difference. Also, regarding the tarp - try and position the edge so it does not point up, that's how the water was rolling back underneath and getting you wet.

    All stainless steel is NOT equal. Some is very resistant to corrosion. Corrosion is when metal gets oxidized. The definition of corrosion is “metal, returning to its natural state.” IE: we cannot stop corrosion. We can only slow its pace. Only one metal does not corrode, gold. It remains in its pure state. That’s one of the reasons it is so highly valued. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

    I didn't expect so many electronics ! But I understand that to wait 3 hours is a lot of spare time. The problem is the battery for long trips. I have a 12s5p and it takes 5 to 6 hours to recharge for less than 50 km. If i get in the future a 10amp charger it will be better but the charger will be big heavy and noisy. I've searched for high end chargers with no success. The only solution for my point of view is to get a big battery and to charge over-night all night.
