Certain electric vehicles from Ford and Tesla use lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, which require different charging habits than typical nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) types. Automakers recommend periodically charging these LFP batteries to full capacity to calibrate the battery management system. This practice helps maintain accuracy and longevity, despite some studies suggesting potential long-term risks.
