That's good advice. But being in Australia and not retired things may change. I've got an i-miev with only the equivalent of 43,000 miles on it. It's 11 years old. That has a lithium ion battery which has similar cycles to a NMC I believe. Now it's off the road with a dropped cell. It's only...

Electric seat would put me on edge because there is no manual back up.The KISS method is always the best.

That's why I'm in such a dilemma. Trying to select between the NMC and LFP. I was on a thread here about it but people have a concrete thought about it and if you mention it they get very protective. So now I'm all over the place. I don't buy new cars every few years. I wait until the wheels...

The more electric rubbish you have the more potential for something to go wrong.

My i-miev is 11 years old and it is perhaps just a bit better. But it has a lithium ion battery. It has only ever been charged using a household socket. And it only has 70,000 Kms on it. But now it's off the road. And it's because one cell...only one cell has dropped. I'm going to put it up on...

That's correct IF both batteries are the same chemical composition. So both small and large are LFP or both are NMC. It does not work when comparing LFP to NMC because their life cycles are vary different. And if you were to treat a NMC like a LFP and charge it to 100% then battery degradation...

Because I didn't see it before I wrote my question. I'm using a phone here. There is one thing from all this. It's been suggested if you get the NMC you only charge it to 50% to 80% and don't discharge it below 20%. That's if you want to care for the battery. That would bring the capacity of the...

I've read that if you get the SE LR it's therefore the NMC battery. But the motor is a 201 BHP. Whereas the SE SR with LFP battery is 168 BHP. That's 31BHP more over the 168 BHP. Almost 20% more BHP. Is this true?

I don't want to be the first. It does happen. That's why there is a term called thermal runaway. And I put it to you that all of them that has happened have been with old technology or NMC batteries. Just look up the temperature required for thermal runaway to occur in an NMC battery. It's quite...

That's understandable. But if something does happen. And I mean something. I can discuss with the prison psychologist and parole board why I keep repeating through dribbling saliva due to the medication I'm being given ...I should have gotten the LFP battery.

And thermal runaway for NMC battery is not much more than double the temperature of boiling water. That's not much at all.

It's not a risk as such. If the vehicle was just sitting there not charging then it's not a worry. But when it's charging if anything is going to happen that's when it will. Hot day hot battery from driving in a hot day heating up the battery whilst charging no movement of air in the carpark...

And I charge in a hospital carpark. Can't risk thermal runaway with patients just above where the car is recharging. It's where I currently charge my i-miev. Safety first always under those conditions. It has to be my first condition. Could live with myself if anything happens to a patient.
