I recently purchased a Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid and I'm wondering what steps I can take to prolong the battery life. Should I charge it every day or let it drain completely before charging again? I want to make sure I'm taking the best care of my car in the long run.
ReplyIn order to maintain the battery life of your Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid, it's important to find a balance between regularly charging it and not overcharging it. You should aim to charge it every day, but avoid leaving it plugged in and fully charged for extended periods of time.
You should also avoid fully draining the battery on a regular basis. It's best to keep it within a range of around 20-80% battery life. This will help prolong the overall lifespan of the battery.
Another important factor to consider is the temperature of your environment. Extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can have a negative impact on the battery life. Try to park your car in a shaded or covered area, especially during extreme weather conditions.
