Why should EV owners care about battery degradation?

For energy-focused applications, knowledge of degradation will benefit EV owners by reducing warranty costs and minimising degradation performance and range losses over their car’s lifetime. Conidence in the state-of-health of the battery will also improve residual values, reducing the total cost of ownership.

What causes a battery to decompose?

Thermal events can destabilise the SEI and cause it to decompose and compromise the battery’s safety. An electrically insulating porous layer in a LIB that prevents the anode and cathode touching, which would cause a short circuit.
