The too-low or too-high levels of charging may reduce the battery performance in a long run. However, car manufacturers install a battery management system in electric cars to avoid issues with the extreme state of charge. Most users believe a 100 percent charge delivers the maximum operating time of the vehicle but can cut off the overall lifespan of the battery.Avoid the fast-charging option that strains the Tata Tiago battery car and degrades the battery faster. It may be great convenience with fast charging but is never recommended unless an emergency runs in.How long do electric car batteries last?It depends on various factors that each brand considers while developing the battery and there's a difference in each electric car battery's lifetime.

The oil mandatory engines for EVs are not the case, unlike conventional petrol and diesel engines that use them. Electric cars manage completely different drivelines and consume a battery while working on an electric motor to move. Hence needless to worry about the oil change topic during EV maintenance tasks.However, an electric car requires a routine check on the 3 fluids- coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washing fluid. The fluids are a must in EVs although does not require oil. Coolant regulates the overheating of EVs and so requires a replacement during maintenance. A regenerative braking system depends on the brake fluid to work normally and replacement at each point in time brings perfection when applying brakes. Refilling of windshield washing fluid helps the usage smooth as per the requirement.Inclusions and Exclusions across Different VariantsPPS offers sales, service & delivery of all 4 variants.
