How to maximize EV battery life

[highland58]

I found this great video on chevybolt.org about lithium batteries, maximize your battery life.
Canada talks electric cars, guest speaker Jeff Dahn from Dalhousie University
Maximize your battery life
The bottom line is lots of short charge cycles are better then fewer deep charge cycles, ideally 45% to 70%. The battery chemistry makes a difference. NMC532 and NMC622 are much better for long life, not sure what the MME uses.

Shhh, don’t tell Stangy?

20,000 kWh, virtually all home charges to 100% and 25% of rapid DC charges

Same here but @ 40K miles and batteries are still not showing any degrading. Every cell is within 1/10 a volt of each other and the contactor voltage is 398. Perfect textbook readings.

I found a thread on this forum that says the MME NMC batteries are NMC622, a higher quality chemistry per the video I referenced, less prone to microcracking.
