Tesla Battery Remaining Life Distance Update

Until now, Dr.EV only provided the “Personalized Remaining Life Distance,” which is calculated based on your actual driving and parking habits. However, some users pointed out that the value appeared too short, which could make the app seem less accurate.

To address this, we have added the “Absolute Remaining Life Distance.” This value does not consider user habits. It is calculated only from the current SOH, assuming 20,000 miles of driving per year. In other words, it is a statistical reference value for comparison.

As an example, we also purchased two used Teslas. One was well managed, and the other was not. The well-managed car showed a Personalized Remaining Life Distance similar to the Absolute Remaining Life Distance. In contrast, the poorly managed car had a relatively low SOH compared to its mileage, so its Personalized Remaining Life Distance appeared much shorter than the Absolute.

This difference occurs because Absolute Remaining Life Distance does not reflect vehicle management or degradation while parked, whereas Personalized Remaining Life Distance does. Therefore, in most cases, the Personalized Remaining Life Distance will naturally be shorter than the Absolute Remaining Life Distance.

In particular, when purchasing a used EV, it is important to check not only the year and mileage but also the battery degradation status. A well-maintained car and a poorly maintained car can show a significant difference in SOH, which directly affects the remaining life distance.

Now in Dr.EV, you can view both indicators:

• Personalized Remaining Life Distance: reflects your driving habits and usage patterns

• Absolute Remaining Life Distance: statistical value based only on current SOH

Thanks to user feedback, Dr.EV continues to improve. Some challenges may require more research and time, but we welcome these challenges and enjoy solving them. We will keep enhancing Dr.EV based on user experience.
