Ok well, (example
Nokia's website will also advertise a lifespan for their cell-phone batteries. BUT, they act much like deep-cycle batteries, where they are meant to be fully drained and recharged, not partially recharged.
Partially recharging these batteries creates a "memory" insiide it, and it starts to think it can only hold that partial charge.

with all due respect, i hope you're wrong here. i like the electric car.
let me just give you my source of info:
"Realistically, drivers will not completely discharge their pack. More likely, drivers will drive the car for 50 or 100 miles then plug it back in to charge it up to 100% SOC."
In estimating the life of our batteries, you can multiply the number of cycles by the range. 500 cycles times 250 miles/charge works out to 125,000 miles, but our estimate is a more conservative 100,000 miles. However the cycle life of 500 cycles is based upon performance that is more challenging to the battery cells than our application."

Yeah I saw that in the Tesla thread. I read the whole thing :icon_razz
I dunno, it just seems like flawed logic :dunno:
