When the battery life of an electric vehicle reaches the following conditions, it may be necessary to consider scrapping:
1. Range less than 15 kilometers: For ordinary electric vehicles, their normal range is above 50 kilometers, and even the smallest 48V12Ah electric vehicle can generally reach around 50 kilometers. If the electric vehicle has a range of less than 15 kilometers, it indicates that the battery is close to being scrapped and the maintenance significance is no longer significant.
2. Aging of vehicle accessories leads to a significant reduction in range: After prolonged use of electric vehicles, vehicle accessories, especially batteries, motors, controllers, etc., may experience aging, resulting in a significant decrease in range. When aging is severe, the repair effect may not be significant and it is necessary to consider scrapping and replacing with a new one.
3. Achieve the overall service life of electric vehicles: Generally, the service life of electric vehicles is around 5 years, and some models can reach 8 to 10 years. When an electric vehicle reaches or exceeds its service life and its range cannot meet the demand, it should also be considered for scrapping and replacement.
The above standards are not absolute, and the actual scrapping situation needs to be comprehensively considered based on factors such as the specific model, usage condition, and maintenance of the electric vehicle.
