At 0% SoC, your EV battery isn't truly empty. Discover what the battery buffer is, why it exists, how it protects State of Health, and how far you can actually drive past zero.

What really happens inside an EV battery every time you charge and drive? From ion migration to BMS management, understand how charge-discharge cycles work, what SoC and DoD mean in practice, and how each cycle gradually impacts your battery's State of Health.

BYD’s FLASH Charging system promises to charge an EV in five minutes. But ultra-fast charging puts battery health under pressure. Here’s what fleet managers and charging operators need to understand about battery SoH, battery range, and long-term total cost of ownership.

Unlock the secrets of your electric vehicle's battery health. Discover key insights and expert tips to maximize performance and longevity.

At CES 2026, Donut Lab unveiled a production-ready solid-state EV battery with ultra-fast charging validated in lab tests. Despite impressive technical results, industrial scalability, long-term state of health, and pack-level reliability remain unproven. For the EV economy, economic value comes from predictable, certifiable battery health, not peak cell performance.

Discover why OEM battery data sharing is essential for fleet performance and efficiency. Learn about Bib batteries' benchmark using 6 key criteria for optimal data integration and management.

Discover the essential guide to understanding and maintaining your battery's State-of-Health (SoH) for your electric vehicle. Learn how SoH impacts performance, resale value, and get tips to extend battery life efficiently.

Battery range is the distance an EV can travel on a full charge, affected by driving, load, temperature, and battery health. Ratings use standards like WLTP (Europe) and Environmental Protection Agency (US), with EPA usually lower than WLTP.

Mileage alone does not explain SoH degradation. A well-chosen used EV can still offer strong SoH and long-term value.

Does vehicle weight reduce EV efficiency? Discover how heavier electric vehicles consume more energy and why weight matters more than range for sustainable mobility.

SoC (State of Charge) is the percentage of energy currently stored in a battery, estimated through voltage-based or Counting Coulomb methods. Accurate SoC measurement is essential to protect the battery, optimize performance, and manage charging safely.

Bib Batteries won the 2025 Fleet Europe Remarketing Sustainability Award for its fully software-based solution that delivers remote, reliable EV battery health insights to boost trust in the second-hand market.

State-of-Health (SoH) measures a battery’s remaining usable energy compared to when new, and although the EU regulation uses the standardized State of Certified Energy (SoCE), in practice SoH effectively reflects the same concept of energy-related degradation.

Batteries store energy through chemical reactions in cells, whose arrangement and management by a BMS ensure safe, balanced charging, optimal performance, and prolonged lifespan.

Battery production and use consume significant energy and materials, generating CO₂ and societal impacts, but when used efficiently—especially with green electricity—they remain a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels.

Battery degradation, caused by electrode wear, chemical reactions, and external stresses, reduces capacity, increases resistance and heat, and makes usage more costly, inefficient, and potentially unsafe.
