After a very insightful report from Recurrent Auto on the effects of fast charging on battery longevity, the firm has published another research looking into climate effects on battery health. The study uses data from 12,500 Tesla Model Y vehicles in the US and assigns a range score for each vehicle from 2020, which tracks battery retention in different states across the country. A clear correlation between better battery longevity in colder states is observed, with the northern Model Ys getting an average longevity score of 95, while the southernmost parts of the country get 92… More…
