    12-volt battery replacement

    OK, guess it's time to replace the 12v battery in my 2019 Kone EV. Is there anything "special" about this battery, i.e. will I be OK going to Walmart, or Costco, or any other store that sells auto batteries? Are there any specs that I should make sure the new battery conforms? TIA

    Is a plug-in long term sustainable?

    So, this is a general question for everyone. I'm curious how long the battery in a plug in car will last? Batteries are good for only so many charges and going from 0-100% is the worst thing to do for a Lion battery. So is a plug-in a useful product? I would imagine that they are used 0-100%...

    Why do EV's not follow a CCCV charge?

    I'm seeing a lot on the internet about CCCV charging, but when I look at car batteries most curves don't seem to follow CCCV. Is this because CCCV is only for longevity and car batteries are manufactured in between safe margins? Thanks in advance :)
