With the arrival of high temperatures in summer, new energy vehicle batteries are also afraid of “heatstroke”!
Please keep this “New Energy Vehicle Battery Overheating Guide” to keep your car safe in summer!
Battery overheating not only affects battery life, but may also cause safety hazards!
Why is high temperature harmful to new energy vehicle batteries?
✅ Battery life decreases: High temperature accelerates the internal chemical reaction of the battery, resulting in faster power consumption.
✅ Charging becomes slower: When the battery temperature is too high, the charging power will automatically decrease, affecting the charging efficiency.
✅ Safety hazards: Extreme high temperatures may cause thermal runaway of the battery, and even the risk of fire!
5 tips to keep your battery “cool” for a summer!
1. Avoid parking in the sun and try to choose a cool place
High temperature exposure will directly cause the battery temperature to soar!
✅ Parking suggestions:
Prefer underground garages or under the shade of trees.
If you can only park in the open air, use a sunshade or car cover to reduce direct sunlight.
2. Pay attention to the ambient temperature when charging
High temperature + fast charging = battery pressure doubled!
✅ Charging tips:
Avoid charging at noon, choose to charge in the early morning or evening when the temperature is lower.
Using slow charging (AC charging) is more beneficial to battery health than fast charging (DC charging).
Do not turn on the air conditioner when charging to avoid increasing the burden on the battery.
3. Plan your trip reasonably and avoid long-term high-load driving
Long-term high-speed driving or frequent rapid acceleration will cause the battery to continue to be high temperature!
✅ Driving suggestions:
Try to avoid continuous long-distance driving in hot weather, and take a proper rest to cool the battery.
Use ECO mode to reduce intense driving.
4. Pay attention to battery temperature and dissipate heat in time
The battery temperature can be checked for some models (such as Tesla, BYD, etc.).
✅ If the battery is found to be overheated:
Stop and rest to let the battery cool naturally.
Do not charge immediately, wait until the temperature drops to the normal range before charging.
5. Check the battery health regularly to ensure that the cooling system is normal
The battery cooling system (liquid cooling/air cooling) is the key!
✅ Maintenance suggestions:
Go to the 4S shop regularly to check whether the battery cooling system is working properly.
Clean the battery heat dissipation port to avoid dust blocking and affecting heat dissipation
⚠️ Emergency handling on hot days
❌ If the dashboard prompts a “battery overheating” warning
1. Stop the car immediately and turn off high-power equipment such as the air conditioner.
2. Contact after-sales to avoid handling it yourself.
3. In extreme cases (smoke/odor): evacuate quickly and call 119!
Key points for high temperature protection of new energy vehicles
Park in a cool place → Reduce exposure to the sun
Charge reasonably → Avoid high-temperature fast charging
Drive gently → Reduce battery load
Pay attention to temperature → Dissipate heat in time
Check regularly → Ensure the cooling system is normal
