How to Extend the Life of Your eBike Battery?

Electric bikes or eBikes are an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and help the environment. And as the battery technologies are aggressively improving and the cost of lithium-ion batteries are witnessing a downfall, you can now find an extensive range of eBikes across every price point.

After purchasing an electric bike, one of the most vital considerations is its battery. After all, it is the primary source of power responsible for the functioning of the motor and channeling the energy through all the components.

Unfortunately, with time, the performance of your eBike’s battery will deteriorate. But with regular maintenance and a bit of care, you can extend its shelf-life.

How To Make Your eBike Battery Last Longer

Here are some tips that can help you extend the life of your eBike’s battery.

1. Use the Charger Provided or Approved by the Manufacturer

Most of the eBikes come with a battery charger. It is highly recommended that you only use the charger provided by the manufacturer for charging the battery of your eBike. If you use the wrong charger, it can significantly affect its performance and can also lead to an explosion or fire.

While you might be able to find chargers with higher currents that can charge your electric bike’s battery faster, if the charging current is considerably higher than what is recommended by the manufacturer, it can reduce the shelf-life of your battery.

2. Avoid Fully Discharging the Battery Every Time

Lithium-ion batteries do not have a charge memory. Thus, discharging it to 0% every time can be harmful in the longer run. Shallow discharges with regular top-ups are the best way to boost the life of your eBike’s battery. This will protect the battery pack from any kind of charging stress and make it last longer.

While it is completely alright if the battery reaches 0% once in a while, avoid making it a habit. Depending on the range of your eBike and your usage, you can consider recharging after every 2–3 rides to maintain the battery charge.

3. Create the Right Environment for Your eBike’s Battery

The external environment also impacts the shelf-life of your electric bike’s battery. So, ensure that you never expose the battery pack to very high heat, high humidity, water, or extreme cold temperatures. Similarly, the battery should also be protected against aggressive vibration, shock, and puncture.

It is generally recommended that the battery should be stored in temperatures ranging between 0°C to 25°C. You should take every possible measure to avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures beyond 40°C. Higher temperatures make the lithium power inside the battery pack loose electrical resistance. Over time, this can cut short the lifespan of the battery.

4. Clean It Right

You should also clean the battery pack once every couple of months. Just a risk swipe with a damp cloth should be enough. Ensure that you never touch the battery terminals with wet objects or metal to avoid shock. Also, while the battery pack of eBikes is water-resistant, you should never fully submerge it in water.

Last but not least, you should never attempt to open the battery pack of your electric bike, be it for repairing or examining. As the lithium powder inside the battery is highly combustible, the battery can explode as soon as the powder is exposed to oxygen.

Additional eBike Battery Care Tips

Here are some other tips that can help-

Avoid charging the battery as soon as you return from a ride. You should wait at least 20–30 minutes for the battery to cool down before charging.

Disconnect the battery from the charger once the battery is charged 100%. Most eBike chargers automatically cut off the power supply once the battery is fully charged.

If you’ll not be using your eBike for a considerable duration, store the battery in a cool and dry place with at least 40%-80% charge.

Always read the owner’s manual before using your electric bike or charging its battery for the first time.

Extend the Life of Your eBike Battery

The electric batteries of modern eBikes can easily last for several years with proper maintenance and care. If you’ve recently purchased an electric bike or planning to purchase one soon, keep the above-mentioned tips in mind to extend its battery life.

In case of any queries regarding the battery or if something is not working as it should, always consult an expert and avoid the DIY approach as it could be dangerous.

Carbon emissions from global SUV fleet outweighs that of most countries

Popularity of sport utility vehicles driving higher oil demand and climate crisis, say experts

The continued global rise in sales of SUVs pushed their climate-heating emissions to almost 1bn tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2022, according to the International Energy Agency.

The 330m sport utility vehicles on the roads produced emissions equivalent to the combined national emissions of the UK and Germany last year. If SUVs were a country, they would rank as the sixth most polluting in the world.

Climate campaigners are increasingly concerned about the impact of SUVs. The activist group Tyre Extinguishers said it had deflated the tyres of hundreds of SUVs in Europe on Monday nightin the run-up to the first anniversary of its campaign.

The vehicles are larger and heavier than regular cars and use on average 20% more fuel. The increased number of SUVs in 2022 were responsible for a third of the increase in global oil demand.

Purchases of SUVs have soared in recent years, rising from 20% of new cars in 2012 to 46% of all cars last year, the IEA reports. The rise continued in 2022, includes significant growth in the US, India and Europe, despite the overall number of cars sold falling slightly.

About one in six SUVs sold in 2022 were electric. But the IEA experts said: “Electric SUVs are growing in popularity, but not quickly enough to offset the increasing oil consumption and emissions of the wider fleet.

“Electric SUVs also require larger batteries to power them, so a growing electric SUV market would impose additional pressure on battery supply chains and further increase demand for the critical minerals needed to make the batteries.”

Cities targeted by Tyre Extinguisher groups on Monday included London, Paris, Berlin and Milan. The activists claim to have deflated more than 10,000 tyres in the past year in 17 countries, including the US and New Zealand, using lentils to jam open air valves.

A spokesperson said: “Things were quiet over the winter but we are now emerging ready for another year of lentil-based action. We act because politicians will not take even baby steps to make our streets and climate safe. We won’t stop until these polluting vehicles are history.”

SUVs are starting to dominate the market as sales of conventional cars decline

Million vehicles sold a year

The Tyre Extinguishers said they wanted “bans on SUVs in urban areas, pollution levies to tax SUVs out of existence, and massive investment in free, comprehensive public transport”.

Electric car sales soared in 2022, the IEA said, rising by 60% from 2021 to more than 10m vehicles. However, 29m non-electric SUVs were sold.

Julia Poliscanova, senior director for vehicles and emobility at European campaign group Transport & Environment, said: “Carmakers are culling small cars in pursuit of profit. VW, Stellantis and BMW have all said they are moving towards selling fewer cars and focusing on more premium SUV models. But larger cars put more pressure on the planet.”

“For drivers, this means more expensive models and higher running costs, especially at a time of high energy prices,” she said. “Given the stakes, regulators should ensure European small cars don’t disappear. The best way is to tax big cars. Subsidies for electric cars should support entry-level EVs that are made in Europe.”

In 2021, the UK’s National Audit Office reported that rising sales of SUVs and an increase in road traffic had cancelled out reductions in CO2 emissions from electric car sales.

Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for electric two-wheelers

Traffic jams has become a major issue in many African countries. In recent years, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, and other African countries have observed a rapid growth in commute time inside African cities. People in these countries have resorted to employ other modes of transportation to avoid traffic congestion. Two-wheelers have been a plausible approach to Africa's growing traffic congestion. Several benefits associated with two-wheelers, such as their compact size, ease of driving in severe road and traffic conditions, and cost benefits due to low fuel use, are major factors driving the demand for two-wheeler tires. In Africa, motorization is still exceedingly low, and electric vehicles are virtually non-existent. As a result, the conventional motorcycle market is expanding rapidly in parallel with the economy and population growth. Electric two-wheelers are currently gaining traction throughout Africa. E-mobility is gaining popularity in the region's government and commercial sectors, motivated by concerns about health and the environment, as well as a desire to reduce dependency on oil imports. From boda-bodas to motorcycle taxis, the region's e-mobility area of motorcycles and mobility scooters has witnessed a phenomenal growth. The government is enacting new regulations to encourage the use of e-bikes in the region. For instance, to allow, facilitate, and deploy electric vehicle mobility in South Africa, the Technology Innovation Agency created the national uYilo eMobility Program. As a multi-stakeholder initiative, the uYiloProgram engages in several initiatives, encompassing government lobbying, industry involvement, pilot projects, capacity building, enterprise growth, and thought leadership. These initiatives could propel the growth of electric mobility in South Africa.

Africa Two-Wheeler Tire Market – By Vehicle Type

By vehicle type, Africa two-wheeler tire market is bifurcated into Motorcycle and Scooter/Moped segments. The motorcycle segment is expected to dominate the market during period in analysis, due to the lack of transportation resulting in increasing usage of mobility in rural and urban areas. Motorcycle taxis, also referred as Boda Boda, across African countries, such as Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, and other Eastern African countries, contribute to the growth of two-wheeler sales. Motorcycle taxis are highly adopted across Africa to transport goods and passengers to inaccessible regions in both urban and rural areas. Furthermore, factors such as increased public transit demand, simple financing, and an influx of inexpensive imports from Indian manufacturers are all contributing considerably to the expansion of the African two-wheeler market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Africa Two-Wheeler Tire Market

Covid-19 had a detrimental effect on two-wheeler tire market in Africa due to the region-wide lockdown, the two-wheeler market was hampered by a mix of demand and supply challenges. The pandemic had a negative impact on economies and businesses, resulting in lockdowns, travel bans, and business closures. The closure of plants and factories affected supply chains, negatively impacting manufacturing, delivery schedules, and product sales in the market. Few corporations already acknowledged anticipated delays in product deliveries and a decline in product sales. Overall investments decreased dramatically during the lockdown, total production fell, and imports of goods and services plunged, significantly damaging the economy and consumer spending in 2020. This loss caused a significant deflation in the two-wheeler tire market. However, it is currently rising and is expected to overcome the decline during 2021–2022 due to the governments’ stimulus for economic recovery and resuming international trades and investments. Tire manufacturers were compelled to implement online platforms to distribute tires via e-commerce platforms and offer door-step delivery and installation services to their consumers to remain competitive in the market during the crisis. Hence, such factors contributed to the expansion of Africa two-wheeler tire market.

Competitive Landscape

Major players operating in Africa two-wheeler tire market include Michelin Group, Bridgestone Corporation, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Continental AG, Dunlop Ltd, Toyo, Stamford Tyres Corporation, Maxxis International, Pirelli & C. S.p.A., The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, and Hankook Tire & Technology Group.

Why Power Grid Tech Plays Could be the Deal of the Lifetime as the Market Goes on Sale (ETN, VKIN, WWD, NGG, CLSK, IESC, CGRN, OPTT)

With the combination of escalating climate change and massive and growing energy supply and distribution challenges all around the world, it's a good bet that the energy grid is set to see increasing attention from investors over coming years. It's a precarious system. And, in the US, unlike most other countries, it's basically all a private sector affair. The "US power grid" is an extremely complex network of well over seven thousand transformers and power plants strung together by more than 160k miles of high-voltage transmission lines, with individual end market customers approaching 150 million. However, as it comes under more and more stress because of rising temperatures and years of underinvestment in fuel production capacity, as well as because of pressures from the transition away from fossil fuels, there's a massive and rapidly growing market just in its early innings -- making the grid smarter. A smart grid is an absolutely essential part of any optimistic view on US energy and power infrastructure, and companies with the potential to move into leadership roles in grid technology and services hold a great deal of promise for long term investors and speculators as we barrel head-long into a critical period. It’s no exaggeration to say that everything hangs in the balance for the world economy and the global geopolitical order. With that in mind, we take a closer look below at some of the most interesting opportunities in the space. Eaton Corp. PLC (NYSE:ETN) provides energy-efficient solutions for electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power. It operates through its Electrical Americas and Electrical Global, Hydraulics, Aerospace, Vehicle, and eMobility. The Electrical Americas and Electrical Global segments engage in sales contracts for electrical components, industrial components, power distribution and assemblies, residential products, single and three phase power quality, wiring devices, circuit protection, utility power distribution, power reliability equipment, and service. The Hydraulics segment includes hydraulics components, systems and services for industrial and mobile equipment. The Aerospace segment produces aerospace fuel, hydraulics, and pneumatic systems for commercial and military use. The Vehicle segment deals with the design, manufacture, marketing, and supply of drivetrain and powertrain systems and critical components that reduce emissions and improve fuel economy, stability, performance and safety of cars, light trucks and commercial vehicles. The eMobility segment designs, manufactures, markets, and supplies electrical and electronic components and systems that improve the power management and performance of both on-road and off-road vehicles. Eaton Corp. PLC (NYSE:ETN) recently announced that it closed an offering of sustainability-linked and senior notes. Eaton’s sustainability-linked notes offering represents a significant step in aligning the company’s long-term financing structures with its ambitious environmental targets. The sustainability-linked notes interest rate is subject to the achievement of a Sustainability Performance Target (SPT) to achieve at least a 40% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by year-end 2027, relative to a 2018 baseline. "Achieving our sustainability goals is as critical to our business as meeting our financial commitments, and this financing aligns both strategies," said Harold Jones, chief sustainability officer and executive vice president, Eaton Business System, Eaton. "Tackling climate change requires innovative solutions, and this offering will enable us to invest in energy efficiency, renewable energy and other emissions-reduction efforts." While this is a clear factor, it has been incorporated into a trading tape characterized by a pretty dominant offer, which hasn't been the type of action ETN shareholders really want to see. In total, over the past five days, shares of the stock have dropped by roughly -2% on above average trading volume. All in all, not a particularly friendly tape, but one that may ultimately present some new opportunities. Over the past month, shares of the stock have suffered from clear selling pressure, dropping by roughly -5%. Eaton Corp. PLC (NYSE:ETN) managed to rope in revenues totaling $5.2B in overall sales during the company's most recently reported quarterly financial data -- a figure that represents a rate of top line growth of -0.1%, as compared to year-ago data in comparable terms. In addition, the company is battling some balance sheet hurdles, with cash levels struggling to keep up with current liabilities ($623M against $9B, respectively). Viking Energy Group Inc. (OTC US:VKIN) is flying under the radar at this point in the power grid narrative, but that could change dramatically given its 51% interest in two entities that own the intellectual property rights to fully developed, patent pending, ready-for-market proprietary Electric Transmission and Distribution Open Conductor Detection Systems. Viking is a majority-owned subsidiary of Camber Energy Inc (NYSE American:CEI) and a growing oil and gas producer. When you have a world increasingly defined by energy shortages and everything riding on defensible smart grid IP, a dirt-cheap under-the-radar OTC stock with real smart-grid IP and significant exposure to returns on energy production could be awfully compelling, especially since VKIN also has exposure to the carbon capture theme through Camber’s recent Exclusive Intellectual Property License Agreement with ESG Clean Energy involving a deal for ESG’s patent rights and know-how related to stationary electric power generation, including methods to utilize heat and capture carbon dioxide. This is a company apparently evolving into something with its hands in every cookie jar related to our battle to power the economy in a world now fully engaged with climate change, the fossil fuel supply cliff, and a power infrastructure crisis in need of game-changing innovations. Viking Energy Group Inc. (OTC US:VKIN) unit Viking Protection Systems most recently filed for a new patent application with the USPTO to secure its next-gen proprietary electric transmission line protection technology. James Doris, President and CEO at both Camber Energy and Viking Energy Group, just put out a video update on the Company’s website to give investors some in-depth perspective through a detailed and highly technical discussion with the founding brain trust behind its new technology, which can be summed up as a potentially revolutionary new way to prevent ground faults in existing three phase electric transmission lines caused by line breakage (open conductor). The tech was invented by industry experts Ron Smith and Bob Stuart with the goal of reducing the risk of wildfires started by downed power lines and faulty conductors and components in the California energy grid. But its true market potential appears to be much wider. The discussion includes coverage of a recent report that verified that the company’s technology functions to shut down a line with an open conductor before it can cause critical damage without shutting down parts of the grid that have faults without an open conductor. In other words, the report provides evidence that the company’s system works reliably when it should without unnecessarily shutting down a power channel that is faulty but poses no risk to its surrounding. This is a possible game changer for safe grid protection. Viking Energy Group Inc. (OTC US:VKIN) has full control of this solution with growing IP protection as it looks to monetize it in a marketplace that includes every utility company, government, energy consumers, hospitals and tax payers, while helping to protect the environment by suppressing the risk of forest fires. The video also notes that the technology’s founders believe no other entity has technology capable of meeting this critical challenge. Watch the video in its entirety here: https://www.vikingenergygroup.com/ National Grid PLC ADR (NYSE:NGG) engages in the transmission and distribution of electricity and gas through its UK Electricity Transmission, UK Electricity Distribution, UK Electricity System Operator, New England, and New York segments. The UK Electricity Transmission segment focuses on the high-voltage electricity transmission networks in England and Wales. The UK Electricity Distribution segment includes networks of WPD in the East Midlands, West Midlands and South West of England and South Wales. The UK Electricity System Operator segment deals with the Great Britain system operation. The New England segment is involved in gas distribution networks, electricity distribution networks and high-voltage electricity transmission networks in New England. The New York segment is composed of gas distribution networks, electricity distribution networks and high-voltage electricity transmission networks in New York. National Grid PLC ADR (NYSE:NGG) recently kicked off Climate Week NYC 2022 by introducing a model to develop and deliver a large-scale, clean and fossil-free energy hub across the entirety of Long Island. This can serve as an innovation beacon for the region and the entire United States. A future where clean energy hubs populate the region, accelerating the clean energy future, is National Grid's Northeast Clean Energy Vision. The Long Island clean energy hub outlined in the vision will contain four key components working together: Developing more clean and carbon-free energy from offshore wind and solar sources; Using renewables to create clean hydrogen to fuel power plants and heat homes; Bringing more battery storage online to store wind and solar energy for later use; and Modernizing and expanding transmission networks to deliver more clean and carbon-free energy to customers and communities. The vision builds on the company's recently announced fossil-free plan to eliminate fossil fuels from its gas and electric systems by 2050. "We believe that innovative regional hubs where clean energy solutions – wind, solar, hydrogen, storage and ways to deliver it – all interconnect to deliver the clean energy customers and communities expect and deserve while drastically reducing emissions in the Northeast," said William Hazelip, President of National Grid Ventures (NGV), US Northeast. "The work is underway to get the right infrastructure in place both on Long Island, which is our initial focus, and throughout the region. Our Northeast Clean Energy Vision is about accelerating the transition to a fossil-free tomorrow affordably, safely, reliably and efficiently." Recent action has seen -6% shed from shares over the past week. However, the name has seen a jump in recent trading volume to the tune of 12% above the average volume levels in play in this stock over the longer term. National Grid PLC ADR (NYSE:NGG) has a significant war chest ($3.3B) of cash on the books, which stands against about $24.8B in total current liabilities. One should also note that debt has been growing over recent quarters. NGG is pulling in trailing 12-month revenues of $33.2B. In addition, the company is seeing major top-line growth, with y/y quarterly revenues growing at 39.5%. Other key players in the energy grid space include Woodward Inc. (Nasdaq:WWD), CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq:CLSK), IES Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:IESC), Capstone Green Energy Corp. (Nasdaq:CGRN), and Ocean Power Technologies Inc. (NYSE American:OPTT). Read the full article
