How to recycle electric vehicle lithium batteries? How to save electricity when driving an electric vehicle

Electric vehicles are widely used as a means of transportation in public transportation. They are divided into AC electric vehicles and DC electric vehicles. Please do not believe the misleading message that "electric vehicles must be charged every day". This will only shorten the battery life. How can electric vehicles save power? The following is a detailed sharing.

How to recycle electric vehicle lithium batteries

After replacing the lithium battery of an electric vehicle, you can contact a professional battery recycling company for recycling. "Lithium battery" is a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the positive/negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

In 1912, the lithium metal battery was first proposed and studied by Gilbert N. Lewis. In the 1970s, MS Whittingham proposed and began to study lithium-ion batteries. Due to the very active chemical properties of lithium metal, the processing, storage and use of lithium metal have very high environmental requirements. With the development of science and technology, lithium batteries have become mainstream.

Lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. The fifth generation of rechargeable batteries, lithium metal batteries, was born in 1996. Their safety, specific capacity, self-discharge rate and performance-price ratio are better than lithium ion batteries. Due to its own high technical requirements, only companies in a few countries are producing this type of lithium metal battery.

How to save electricity when driving an electric car

The best way to save power on an electric vehicle is to ride at a medium speed. When you are on a fast track and need to slow down, you should return to zero and glide in advance. Try to use the brakes to slow down as little as possible (unnecessary energy consumption). If you are in a hurry or the road conditions are good, do not keep turning the pedal all the way to the bottom. You should return to zero intermittently (accelerate - glide - accelerate and glide) to give the battery load a chance to return to zero. Going uphill consumes the most power, so try to ride at a low speed. For the sake of battery life: avoid using the battery after it is slightly charged or not fully charged. Avoid riding slowly for long distances when the controller has already generated a low voltage power outage, as this will greatly damage the battery. Please do not believe the misleading message that "electric vehicles that are ridden need to be charged every day", as this will only shorten the battery life (the battery life is generally 300-350 times of charge and discharge). You must be familiar with the relationship between the power value on the power indicator and the drivable distance, and try to charge it when it is close to being used up, so as to reduce the number of charging times and extend the battery life.

What is the difference between battery cars and electric cars

1. Different energy supply. Electric vehicles: Electric vehicles are divided into AC electric vehicles and DC electric vehicles. Generally speaking, electric vehicles are vehicles that use batteries as energy sources, and use controllers, motors and other components to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to control the current size to change the speed. Battery vehicles: Pure electric vehicles that are powered by batteries (batteries) and driven by motors (DC, AC, series excitation, external excitation).

2. Different invention times. Electric car: The first electric car was manufactured in 1881 by French engineer Gustave Trouvé. Battery car: Originated in the 1880s, used as private cars, trucks and urban public transportation vehicles.

3. Different uses. Electric vehicles: widely used as a means of transportation in public transportation. Battery vehicles: currently domestic battery vehicles are mainly used for sightseeing, security patrols, and cargo transportation. The main purpose of electric sightseeing vehicles is to carry passengers in parks, scenic spots, leisure resorts, universities, hospitals, golf courses, real estate companies and other places. The main purpose of electric patrol vehicles is to patrol security in stations and crowded places.
