We just discovered our electric scooters’ battery lifespan drastically affects our customer retention. Our data showed a 20% decline in user engagement in areas where battery replacements were needed more often. Anyone else experiencing this?

It’s a huge concern! I’ve seen startups lose investors because of unforeseen battery issues. Battery tech should be priority #1 for urban mobility startups.

From a technical standpoint, optimizing charge cycles and thermal management can extend battery life by up to 30%. We saw this when we adjusted charging protocols in our scooters.

Longer-lasting batteries also mean fewer scooters needing mid-day swaps, which can reduce operational costs and improve urban traffic flow. Double win!

Don’t forget the role of battery chemistry. NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) offers a good balance of performance and lifespan but always consider the specific use case.
