Battery SOH (State-Of Health): This measure the battery's performance relative to a brand new one with the same specifications. Tracking SOH allows you determine if a battery is being worn out because of typical lifespan, or operational usage factors.

Charge Voltage and Temperature: We've grouped these two metrics together because they truly go hand-in-hand. In simple terms, the higher the voltage being supplied to the vehicle, the faster it will charge. However, an EV battery will charge effectively so long as it doesn't overheat.

If a battery overheats during a charge due to too high voltage, it will severely impact the longevity, or health, of the battery. Similarly, if the motor temperature reached too high a level during a trip, this will also negatively impact the lifespan of the battery.
