Demystifying EV Battery Health
Electric vehicle batteries are the heart of your EV. Understanding key metrics like SOH (State of Health) and SOC (State of Charge) helps you maintain battery performance and plan for the future.
What is SOH (State of Health)?
SOH measures your batterys current capacity compared to when it was new. A battery with 90% SOH can hold 90% of its original charge. Over time, all EV batteries experience some degradation. Regular SOH checks help you track this decline.
What is SOC (State of Charge)?
SOC is simply how much charge your battery currently holds, shown as a percentage. Think of it like a fuel gauge for your battery. A healthy battery should show consistent SOC readings that match your actual driving range.
