I dont want to be rude...but WTF?? :shock:

Driving should never be "interesting" because the car does something you dont want it to do, ICE or electric... "what's it doing now" isnt a good starting advert... :pale:

However you have inadvertently been found out as one of those hooligans that erratically jumps lanes without signalling. :lol:

Bet you usually complain about such drivers on here too. :wink:

Do EV car batteries require conditioning charge/discharge routines in maintenance to keep them in top form and can they “suffer“ from memory effect ?

The thing does cool/warm the battery as required to get the best performance from it but no owner input required for that; AFAIK no memory effect but they say you should, if possible not charge it beyond 90% all the time.

Mine is on a two year business lease so unlikely to be an issue for me; they guarantee the battery for 8 years or 100000 km.

The battery management system looks after all of that, just keep it between 20 and 80 % for normal use and only charge to 100% if you absolutely need the last drop of range.

Generally good drivers don’t signal if there’s no point to it. Returning to lane 1 after overtaking is one example. I’d hate it if my car fought against me.

+1

Unnecessary signalling is in the same league as life-history R/T calls.

Just turn off the lane departure gadget unless you really think you are likely to drowse.
