The battery is the power source of an electric vehicle, but it is also the device most likely to run into problems during use, so we must be careful the first time we use it. Why should an electric vehicle battery be charged before first use? Let us address this question.

First, from leaving the factory to being used, a battery usually passes through 1-2 months or even longer. During storage, self-discharge and other spontaneous reactions inside the battery consume part of the charge, so it cannot reach its rated capacity. Therefore, before first use an electric vehicle battery should be given a supplementary charge, so that customers do not mistake this for insufficient capacity.

Second, good care makes it easier to extend life. Every household or person who buys an electric vehicle hopes it will last long, but various factors shorten the life of the battery; therefore it is best to maintain it well, which not only extends its life but also saves money.

Third, it improves the driving range. A good electric vehicle battery has a fine range and brings great convenience to users, especially those of high quality. Imagine a battery that can easily carry you farther and one that can only go a shorter distance; which would you prefer? Obviously the former.

From this we can understand why an electric vehicle battery should be charged before first use: it extends the life of the battery and saves expense.
