EV Battery Degradation Has Nothing To Do With Miles!

Your EV battery's cycle counter is almost useless on its own. A BMS engineer breaks down what actually drives cyclic aging — depth of discharge, charge power level, and temperature — using verified data from Battery University, the Geotab 22,700-vehicle fleet study (April 2026), and MIT Li Group lithium plating research. Includes the Canadian cold-charging damage mechanism most owners don't know about, and why hot-climate owners are compounding every single cycle with elevated temperature stress.
