However, the performance of an EV relies heavily on its battery, which is susceptible to degradation over time. Why is 80% battery capacity the optimal choice? Instead of batteries taking in energy at a constant, predictable rate, the rate changes based on myriad variables, though most notably the battery’s state of charge.
