Özet
Battery aging is a critical factor affecting the performance, reliability, and lifespan of electric vehicles (EVs). Among the various factors influencing battery degradation, temperature plays a decisive role. High temperatures accelerate chemical reactions within lithium-ion cells, leading to capacity loss and increased internal resistance over time. This degradation reduces the battery's overall energy storage capacity and efficiency. Conversely, exposure to low temperatures impairs battery performance by slowing down electrochemical reactions, reducing available capacity, and increasing resistance during discharge. Effective thermal management systems are essential to mitigate these effects, ensuring stable operating conditions and prolonging battery life. Understanding the relationship between temperature and battery aging is vital for optimizing battery performance, improving EV range, and developing strategies to extend battery life while maintaining safety and efficiency. In this article, the most important aspects about battery ageing and effects of environment temperatures on batteries and EV range are presented with most recent case studies.
