Yes but he specifically said accelerating fast degrades it faster even more
What’s your opinion on this
@AAKEE
Well, cycles in general degrade the battery much less than time.
In general, higher current/power causes more wear than low current. Just like Supercharging causes more wear than home charging.
Lithium batteries can handle short bursts of high power much better than long sustained power.
This is for example you can have high power regen (100kW) at 80% SOC but you will not get 100kW charging power at 80% at the Supercharger.
A 0-60 run takes 1.9 (
) to 5 seconds. That is a fairly short burst and will not hit the battery with noticable degradation.
Driving at autoban at top speed from 100% SOC until the car stops will cause noticaböe degradation if you do it several times. (On the other hand a high power ICE car engine also would notive some wear from this.
I did use 0-62mph and ~ 1/4 mile several/many times with my M3P during my 66K km / 2.5 years I had it.
Ended up with 492 km displayed range when the average on Teslafi was around 460-465km range.
Also, the EV seller company had several model 3 with the same battery as mine (82kWh), both LR and P). These cars was younger than mine (I had a very early 82kWh batt) and they had luch less miles. Still they showed 9–13% degradation in the battery test, where mine showed 5% (they use 82.1 kWh as the origin capacity).
These batteries most often reach 80.5-81kWh which makes the degradation number go down but also increases the difference between my M3P and the other.
So, If my M3P didnt show much degradation you should not worry
My Plaid is still quite new, (1 year from manuf. last sunday), I had 97.1 kWh nominal Full pack and reached 97.8 kWh Nominal remaining yesterday at a full charge which is about as good as most people see as the top value. My summer wheels (~8000 km) ate starting to see the end of life as I have used the 1020 hp, every one of these suckers, quite much
Again, normal ”fun” will not kill the battery.
Driving at a steady 80 mph degrades the battery less than accelerating 0 to 60 with the pedal to the floor is what he said
The question is impossible to answer, as the 80 mph steady has no description of the duration.
3.5s 0-60mph wears more than 3.5s at 80mph, if that was the question.
Still neglible, as we now know!
