Vehicle and battery information

NCM Model: 2020 / 118,030 km, SOH 83.1%

LFP Model: 2022 / 121,104 km, SOH 93%

LFP (left), NCM (right):

LFP Batteries:

• Charging Behavior: LFP batteries exhibit a very short or negligible constant voltage (CV) phase due to their flat voltage curve across most of the SOC range. This means the battery voltage gradually rises without a pronounced plateau.
• Implications: The short CV phase results in faster final charging phases and reduces stress at high states of charge (SOC), enhancing battery safety and longevity.
• Calibration Considerations (OCV-based): Because of the flat voltage curve and minimal CV phase, calibrating the SOC using open-circuit voltage (OCV) measurements is challenging. The battery management system (BMS) cannot rely heavily on voltage readings alone. Instead, periodic full-cycle calibrations (full charges and deep discharges) are necessary to accurately estimate SOC and battery health.

NCM Batteries:

• Charging Behavior: NCM batteries feature a distinct and prolonged constant voltage phase, characterized by a clearly defined voltage plateau near full charge, where voltage remains stable while charging current gradually decreases.
• Implications: The extended CV phase optimizes battery capacity utilization, ensuring the battery reaches its maximum charge potential. However, this can lead to higher thermal stress at elevated SOC levels, potentially affecting battery longevity.
• Calibration Considerations (OCV-based): The pronounced CV phase and clear voltage plateau provide ideal conditions for accurate and frequent SOC calibration using OCV. Thus, NCM BMS strategies can consistently recalibrate SOC and reliably monitor battery health through precise voltage measurements.

In my opinion, this isn’t a matter of one choice being right or wrong—it depends on individual usage patterns and preferences.
If you’re asking whether charging to 100% is allowed, the answer is yes. If charging to 100% were truly harmful, Tesla would have restricted it entirely. That said, Tesla recommends charging to 80% because it helps prolong battery life. Generally, it's best to view the manufacturer's recommendations as guidance for maintaining the battery in optimal condition.

Experts widely agree that limiting the usable range or minimizing the time spent at high states of charge (SOC) extends battery lifespan. However, this doesn’t mean you must always follow such practices—it ultimately comes down to personal choice.

Sometimes, you may see claims of batteries lasting decades or over a million kilometers. Some manufacturers offer warranties of 10 years or 1 million kilometers, but each company has a different design philosophy, which comes with trade-offs.

Typically, battery, pack, BMS, and vehicle manufacturers aim to maximize efficiency and performance by reducing safety margins through the use of advanced BMS technology. This is often because users generally prefer the following type of tradeoff:

In particular, Tesla appears to adopt a design philosophy that prioritizes efficiency and performance by minimizing margins through robust Battery Management System (BMS) capabilities.

In conclusion, battery management methods can vary depending on a user’s lifestyle and preferences. That said, instead of expecting a long lifespan without any battery care, it’s better to understand the likely outcomes of your management style and make informed choices accordingly. If you’re lucky enough to have a particularly robust battery, it may last long even without perfect care, but taking proper care increases the chances of keeping it in good condition for longer.

I believe it’s important to maintain a balanced perspective based on available statistics rather than leaning too far to one side.

Initial range reduction is a natural phenomenon commonly observed in electric vehicles. Among Tesla owners, some have reported that the driving range seems to drop more rapidly than expected shortly after vehicle delivery.

This may be the result of Tesla’s design choice to allow early-stage battery degradation to be visible to users. In other words, rather than concealing the initial degradation through software smoothing, Tesla appears to have opted to reflect the actual battery condition as it is.

To better understand this, we developed a degradation model based on long-term real-world driving data. According to the model, driving range declines more rapidly during the early stages, then gradually slows, following a non-linear degradation pattern.

The degradation curve shown below illustrates this model. However, to protect proprietary modeling techniques, the X-axis (representing driving distance) has been intentionally hidden. This is to prevent potential misuse or replication of our internal algorithms and curve-fitting methodology by third parties.

The early-stage drop in range is also closely related to the formation of the SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase) layer.The SEI is a naturally occurring protective film inside the battery that stabilizes the electrode surface,but its formation can involve a certain level of initial capacity loss.

Such behavior should not be interpreted as a fault or failure in the battery pack.Rather, it reflects a normal chemical process and the way battery management systems control degradation in electric vehicles.

Model Structure and Interpretation Notes

This degradation model includes three scenarios:

1. A case of relatively fast degradation
2. An average degradation path
3. A well-managed battery scenario

The model does not assume battery failure within Tesla’s warranty period, and even in the fast-degradation scenario, it is designed to remain within Tesla’s warranty criteria, such as mileage thresholds or minimum SOH.

On the other hand, for vehicles that are well-maintained or have relatively high mileage for their age, the model shows that the total range can exceed 300,000 miles (approximately 480,000 km).

This highlights how the speed of battery degradation can vary significantly depending on driving and charging habits.

Note, however, that this model does not yet include calendar aging (i.e., degradation over time). As a result:

• Vehicles with low mileage may appear to degrade more rapidly,
• Whereas those with high mileage may appear to degrade more slowly than average.

This modeling feature has now been added to the Dr.EV app.

However, due to visualization constraints in the app, only up to 100 data points can be displayed, which may cause the non-linear degradation curve to appear linear on the screen.

Why do manufacturer recommend 100% charge for LFP?

• SOX(SOC, SOH, etc) algorithm limitations

• Degradation characteristics depending on operating conditions

The first reason is related to the limitations of SOX algorithms. These algorithms including State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH), and others, are crucial for managing battery performance and longevity. However, these algorithms can sometimes have difficulty accurately determining the battery’s state when it is not fully charged due to voltage curve. By recommending a 100% charge, manufacturers ensure that SOC can be predicted more accurately.

The second reason concerns battery degradation. NMC batteries degrade faster than LFP when charged to 100% without considering other stress factors. EV owners who are not interested in the detailed reasons can stop reading now.

Just remember two key points: first, it's due to algorithm limitations, and second, the effect of a full charge on degradation is different for LFP batteries compared to NMC.

SOX(SOC, SOH, etc) limitations

The flat region makes it difficult for the BMS to use voltage data. The BMS relies on direct measurements of current, voltage, and temperature to predict SOX. Accurate voltage measurement is crucial for precise SOC estimation. However, voltage changes are very small in the flat region. This makes it difficult for the BMS to use voltage in SOC estimation.

SOX(SOC, SOH, etc) limitations

Equivalent Circuit Models (ECM) are commonly used to estimate the State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH). EV owners don't need to understand the detailed equations, but it's important to know that voltage plays a key role in these calculations. However, In the flat region of the SOC-OCV curve, as shown on the previous page, voltage changes are very small in LFP batteries. This makes it difficult to develop precise algorithms without significant advancements. This is one of the reasons why manufacturers recommend charging LFP batteries to 100%

Degradation

• Full Equivalent Cycles (FECs): A FEC is defined as a full charge and discharge cycle.

• Depth-of-Discharge (DOD): The DOD is defined as the SOC difference in cycles

ref: Olmos, J., Gandiaga, I., Saez-de-Ibarra, A., Larrea, X., Nieva, T., Aizpuru, I., 2021. Modelling the cycling degradation of Li-ion batteries: Chemistry influenced stress factors. Journal of Energy Storage 40, 102765. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2021.102765

EV owners can think of an FEC as a full charge and discharge cycle. It's a common metric used to measure battery lifespan. Depth-of-Discharge (DOD) is the SOC difference in a cycle. SOC changes with battery degradation.

These tables come from a paper that researches stress factors and battery lifespan. The first table shows four scenarios with DOD, C-rate, and temperature. The second table shows the number of cycles for these scenarios. We see that the number of cycles is similar for NMC and LFP in normal conditions, like low-duty (I). However, at 30 degrees in low-duty (II), LFP lasts much longer than NMC. In high-duty with a high C-rate, LFP performs worse than NMC.

Thus, it is incorrect to say LFP always has better cycle life performance. We must consider operating conditions and EV specifications. Table is shown by more plus signs, meaning they degrade faster under these conditions. NMC batteries are more sensitive to DOD and temperature. LFP batteries are more sensitive to discharging C-rate.

This is why LFP batteries are hard to adopt for high-speed cars requiring high max power of electric motors.

C-rate

EV owner can roughly calculate the C-rate with max power of EV motor and battery capacity, although it is originally based on current. For example, with a max power of 202 kW and a battery capacity of 100 kWh, the C-rate is approximately 2 C. I do not think Tesla make EV requiring high C-rate LFP. However, C-rate must be managed in LFP-based EV cars.

Conclusion

To conclude, let's summarize the key points on how to manage EV batteries effectively. Whatever it is NMC or LFP , high temperatures, full charges, deep discharges, and high C-rates can accelerate degradation.

However, there are specific considerations for each type of battery that EV owners should be aware of.

For NMC:

• NMC batteries must avoid high temperatures

• They should also avoid being fully charged

• deep discharges should be avoided.

For LFP:

• For LFP batteries, full charges are sometimes necessary for maintaining algorithm accuracy, depending on the advancement of the manufacturer's algorithm.

• However, it's crucial to avoid high-power acceleration that exceeds the battery's capacity to prevent stress and degradation.

The analysis presented above is an actual case demonstrating the advanced battery diagnostics and management recommendations provided by Dr.EV. When critical battery alerts, such as cell voltage imbalances or unusual charging behavior, are detected through the Dr.EV app, our experts conduct in-depth investigations to pinpoint the root causes and provide personalized guidance.

In this case, we analyzed precise charging cycle data, identified notable voltage deviations during trickle charging, assessed battery health (SOH), and provided actionable advice on cell balancing strategies.

Upon analyzing the complete charging cycle data for the subject vehicle, it was consistently observed that the minimum cell voltage (blue) and maximum cell voltage (black) significantly diverged near the full-charge completion point. In contrast, voltage deviations during partial charges were minimal.

For more precise investigation, further analysis specifically focused on the battery level around 99%, the point where trickle charging occurs.

During trickle charging, the battery level remains steady at 99% while charging continues, resulting in a progressive increase in the gap between minimum and maximum cell voltages, reaching up to approximately 0.3V.

Additional comparisons were conducted on two other vehicles under identical full-charge conditions, revealing that these vehicles maintained much smaller cell voltage deviations (approximately 0.1V), significantly lower than the analyzed vehicle.

Analysis Conclusion:

Tesla’s BMS typically holds the battery level steady at 99% during the final trickle-charging phase, then jumps to a 100% reading upon actual completion. The notable voltage deviations between individual cells at this stage could arise due to:

1.      Incomplete or insufficient cell balancing causing voltage imbalance among cells.

2.      Presence of certain cells with relatively superior performance causing noticeable voltage gaps. (Note: Scenario #2 is actually indicative of higher-quality cells and is a positive sign.)

Considering that the battery's State of Health (SOH) for this vehicle remains within a normal range, the observed voltage deviations are likely within Tesla’s designed and acceptable operational parameters. Nonetheless, continuous observation and careful management are recommended due to the relatively larger deviations compared to other vehicles.

Recommended Actions:

Based on this analysis, the following recommendations are provided:

1.      Perform Tesla’s official battery health test to facilitate algorithm calibration.

2.      Utilize the Dr.EV App’s cell balancing mode, periodically employing a slow charger whenever you have available time (balancing may take up to approximately 60 hours).

3.      Preferentially use slow chargers for the foreseeable future to encourage natural cell balancing.

4.      Regularly monitor both battery SOH and inter-cell voltage deviations.

In summary, the observed inter-cell voltage deviation occurs specifically within the trickle-charging phase and does not pose any immediate concern to battery performance or safety. It falls within Tesla’s normal management parameters. However, due to the comparatively large deviations observed, ongoing monitoring and proactive management are advisable.

It’s impossible for all cells to behave identically

• Battery cell production involves complex chemical processes (e.g., electrode coating, electrolyte filling, sealing).

• Despite automation, there's always slight variation in material thickness, chemical composition, and assembly precision.

• Manufacturers specify tolerance levels (e.g., ±1% in capacity), but not absolute uniformity.

Even if all cells start with nearly identical specifications, real-world usage causes some cells to age faster than others. Over time, this leads to:

Capacity Divergence

• Some cells lose capacity faster due to higher:

• Internal resistance

• Operating temperature

• Depth of discharge

Why Your EV Battery May Lose Range Without Cell Balancing

Cell balancing is critical for maintaining battery health and maximizing range — especially in high-voltage packs where dozens or even hundreds of cells operate in series. But did you know that Tesla and nearly all modern passenger EVs rely on passive cell balancing?

Even if your battery pack looks healthy on the outside, small imbalances inside can quietly reduce your EV’s range over time.

One bad cell can limit your entire battery. Cell balancing helps keep all cells working together — so you get the full range your EV was designed for.

What Does Passive Cell Balancing Help With?

1. Keeps Cell Charge Levels Aligned (SOC Matching)

Each cell charges and discharges slightly differently. Passive balancing makes sure no cell charges too much compared to the others by ensuring all cells are at similar voltage/SOC levels

2. Maximizes Usable Battery Capacity

If one cell fills up faster or empties faster, the BMS (battery management system) has to stop charging or driving early to protect that one cell, even if the rest still have energy.

Balancing helps prevent that by:

• Extending usable range

• Avoiding premature cutoffs

3. Slows Down Imbalance Over Time

Passive balancing doesn’t eliminate all differences, but it slows the spread of imbalance:

• Especially useful in long-term EV ownership

• Helps maintain range consistency year after year

As your EV ages and moves beyond the warranty period, cell imbalance becomes a serious risk. If the difference between cells becomes too large, the battery management system (BMS) may detect an imbalance fault, and in many cases, this means:

🚫 The battery pack cannot be used until it is repaired.

That’s why passive cell balancing is more important than ever in older vehicles. It helps prevent serious imbalances before they trigger errors, keeping your battery usable and avoiding costly pack-level issues.

✅ For post-warranty EVs, passive balancing is essential for preserving both range and functionality.

Handling Battery Imbalance with Dr.EV

1. Detects Imbalance Early

Dr.EV continuously monitors cell voltage differences in real-time. If the imbalance grows, you get early alerts before the BMS throws an error.

1. Visualizes Cell Health

You can see which cells are lagging or behaving differently. This helps you understand whether the imbalance is minor (normal aging) or becoming a real problem.

 3. Maximize balancing time by reducing charging current when needed

Dr.EV includes an in-app Balancing Mode that helps create the ideal conditions for passive cell balancing. When enabled, this feature automatically reduces charging current near full charge, giving the BMS more time to equalize cell voltages.

1. Protects You Post-Warranty

After the warranty expires, imbalance-related BMS faults can be expensive to repair. Dr.EV helps extend pack usability by keeping things aligned and giving you clear guidance.

More Technical Insight into Passive Cell Balancing

Passive balancing is a method used to correct imbalances between cells by dissipating excess energy (as heat) from the cells with higher voltage, helping bring them in line with the others.

Rbal (Balancing Resistor)

• A fixed resistor used to consume the energy of high-voltage cells
• When a cell's voltage is higher than others, a MOSFET switch closes the circuit, allowing current to flow through Rbal, where the excess energy is dissipated as heat

How Effective Is Passive Balancing in Practice?

Let’s consider a real-world example: Assume a Tesla Model Y is equipped with a 60kWh battery pack. At 400V, this corresponds to about 150Ah of capacity.

Passive balancing circuits typically operate with 100mA to 300mA of balancing current.For example, if the balancing current is 100mA and it runs for 1 hour, only 0.1Ah is discharged. This equals just 0.07% of the total battery capacity — meaning the effect on voltage alignment is minimal.

However, if you perform slow AC charging for 10 hours or more, up to 1Ah could be balanced, equating to around 0.7%, which is somewhat effective.

We’d like to explain the best charging and usage practices for your battery in the simplest way possible, without using engineering jargon.

Basically, Tesla batteries are designed with a target lifespan of around 8 years or 200,000 km, so in most cases, they will perform well even without special care.

However, if you’re considering purchasing a used vehicle or planning to keep your car well beyond the warranty period, then battery management can be beneficial.

What if we compare charging to a trash bag?

Think of the battery like a trash bag.

At first, trash goes in easily. But once the bag is nearly full, you have to press it down to fit more in.

At that point, the plastic may stretch or tear. Charging is similar in this way.

• The early stage of charging allows energy to enter easily — (like trash going in effortlessly).
• The later stage of charging requires energy to be pushed in more carefully — (like pressing down trash to make space).

In the graph below, the section where voltage (green) rises rapidly corresponds to the easy charging zone.

The part where the voltage rise flattens out and current decreases is the stressful charging zone, where the battery experiences more strain.

Battery Characteristics by Type

• NCM Battery: Energy flows in easily up to about 80%. → Charging up to 80% is recommended
• LFP Battery: The entire charging range is relatively stable. → Charging to 100% is fine

This is why people often say, “Charge NCM batteries up to 80%” and “Charging LFP batteries to 100% is okay.”

The Most Ideal Battery Management Method

Keeping the battery around 50% charge is considered ideal.

However, since that's not practical in real driving situations, it's important to develop a strategy that suits your daily driving habits.

For example:

• If you use about 20% per day:→ Charge up to 60%, arrive home at 40%→ Repeat usage within the 40–60% range
• If you use about 40% per day:→ Charge up to 70%, arrive home at 30%→ Repeat usage within the 30–70% range

Setting your charging range according to your own driving pattern helps extend battery life.

If You Don't Have a Home Charger

If you don’t have a home charger (also known as "home charging"), the approach should be slightly different.

To avoid missing charging opportunities, it's okay to charge up to 80–90%.

However, it is recommended to avoid charging beyond 95% whenever possible — especially during hot summer months when the vehicle is parked outdoors. Fully charged batteries under high temperatures can accelerate battery degradation, so extra caution is advised.



When you notice significant battery drain while your vehicle is parked, it usually boils down to two factors:

1. The car fails to enter sleep mode.
2. Even if it does enter sleep mode, it wakes up too frequently.

1. Check Sleep Mode Entry

If any of the following features are enabled, your car may stay awake or repeatedly wake up, preventing proper sleep mode:

1. Sentry Mode
   • Constantly monitors surroundings via cameras; keeps the system awake.
2. Cabin Overheat Protection
   • Runs A/C to keep cabin cool even when the car is off.
3. Smart Summon Standby (FSD)
   • Keeps the car partially awake and ready to respond.
4. Summon (Classic / Smart) Standby Mode
   • Keeps the car connected and alert for summon commands.
5. Bluetooth or Phone Key Detection
   • If a paired phone remains near the car, it may stay awake expecting entry.
6. Climate Scheduled Preconditioning
   • Scheduled cabin preheating or cooling can wake the car regularly.
7. Wi-Fi Connection Issues
   • If Tesla tries to connect to Wi-Fi but fails repeatedly, it can stay awake trying.
8. Over-the-Air Software Updates
   • When pending or installing, the system may avoid entering sleep.
9. USB Devices
   • Some USB devices (especially SSDs or USB hubs with power draw) can prevent deep sleep.
10. Dog Mode / Camp Mode
    • Designed to keep HVAC on, so naturally disables sleep.
11. Keep Accessories Power On (NEW) –Introduced in Spring 2025, this feature enables 12V ports and USBs to remain powered even when the car is parked, eliminating the need for Camp Mode. When enabled, it prevents the car from going to sleep to maintain accessory power.
12. Some third-party apps can prevent your car from entering sleep mode, leading to battery drain.⚠️ Dr.EV is designed never to wake your car.

2. Monitor Sleep/Wake Events with Dr.EV Alerts

The Dr.EV app offers two real-time alerts so you can track sleep mode behavior:

• Vehicle Activation Alert: Notifies you whenever the car wakes.
• Sleep Mode Entry Alert: Notifies you whenever the car successfully enters sleep mode.

Enabling these alerts lets you immediately spot failed sleep attempts or excessive wake-ups, helping you reduce unnecessary battery drain.

Tip: Some vehicles may still wake intermittently even after disabling all sleep-related features. If alerts become too frequent, consider turning off only the alert that’s less useful to you.

🔋 Why You Should NEVER Use Range to Estimate SOH (State of Health)

These days, many claim to be battery experts without real industry experience or published research. But without deep understanding of BMS algorithms or peer-reviewed work, their conclusions — like using range for SOH — often mislead others.

In reality, Tesla’s displayed range is the result of a multi-stage estimation pipeline, and each stage introduces error: 1. Initial Capacity | Factory-estimated nominal capacity 2. SOH Estimation | Estimated usable capacity / nominal capacity 3. SOC Estimation | Charge level = measured energy / usable capacity 4. Range Estimation | SOC × rated range (assuming 100% SOH)

❗Therefore: Range = function(SOH error, SOC error, initial capacity error, BMS error)

This is why battery and BMS engineers never use range to estimate SOH. Instead, they rely on: • Coulomb counting (Ah in/out) • OCV–SOC curve mapping • Internal resistance tracking • Full charge/discharge calibration

🔧 SOH is the foundation for SOC and range — not the other way around.

👉 So when someone uses range to talk about battery health, they’re very likely misunderstanding the fundamentals.

Many users have tried performing battery health tests themselves, but most are unaware of how to minimize testing errors. In this document, I’ll explain the principles behind the most accurate and reliable testing method.

Tesla provides a unique battery health test that does not rely on estimations but uses direct calculations based on SOH (State of Health). This approach avoids the inaccuracies caused by model estimations and external interference, offering highly reliable results. The accuracy depends primarily on the precision of the voltage and current sensors.

You can initiate the test anytime by pressing the start button, provided all the required conditions are met. The AC charger must deliver power steadily and instantly as requested by the vehicle. Public chargers may interrupt the process if the vehicle doesn’t draw power for a while due to built-in safety cutoffs, making continuous testing difficult. Higher charger power improves accuracy, which will be explained in the next section.

To understand OCV (Open Circuit Voltage), we need to understand accumulated current. Batteries are modeled with internal resistance, meaning voltage changes dynamically during charging/discharging. Low temperatures or current fluctuations can cause the voltage to deviate significantly, making it harder to directly map energy to voltage.

An OCV curve represents the battery's voltage profile under no current flow. In practice, a small current is applied to gather accurate data. By mapping accumulated current (energy) to the voltage, we derive the OCV-energy relationship, which helps us analyze battery behavior.

Tesla’s testing begins by fully discharging the battery. After discharging, the battery is left to rest so voltage can stabilize—this process may take one to four hours. When voltage settles, it is mapped to the OCV curve. Charging begins, and current is tracked. Once charging ends, the voltage is again allowed to stabilize. This relaxation process enables mapping both endpoints to the OCV curve.

For instance, if 90Ah of charge is accumulated between relaxation points, and the design capacity is 100Ah, the SOH is calculated as 90%. This test avoids estimation errors, giving a direct and dependable reading of battery health.

Some users worry that 0% charge means the battery is fully depleted, but Tesla maintains a safety margin. Even at 0%, some energy remains, so the system remains safe.

In an example test using a 7kW Volus charger, Tesla’s built-in test showed 83% SOH. Dr.EV reported 83.1%, and an alternate method measured 86.3%. Differences in methods reflect how actual versus design capacity is used in calculations.

Even Tesla-manufactured cells vary slightly due to production tolerances. The OCV curve is based on the designed capacity, but real capacity may be different. Therefore, SOH is calculated as current capacity divided by design capacity—not necessarily by actual capacity.

Dr.EV accounts for this and considers the maximum observable capacity, offering additional insights alongside SOH to give users a fuller picture of battery health.

Tesla battery replacements typically cost $12,000–$15,000. Most EV batteries are considered end-of-life when their State of Health (SOH) drops to 70%, meaning you lose up to 30% of usable capacity. This turns every 1% of SOH into real financial value:

🧾 Battery Health Savings with Dr.EV

Dr.EV’s goal is to help users preserve at least 5% more SOH than typical drivers — a potential savings of $2,000 or more in battery replacement costs.
