High-Power Fast Charging Is The Leading Cause Of EV Battery Degradation: Report
Fancy, high-powered EV charging stations are becoming common in North America. This is how they affect batteries. Batteries in electric vehicles that regularly use 100-plus-kilowatts fast chargers degrade faster than those that rely primarily on slow charging, a new study suggests. Using fast chargers more frequently can cause some packs to lose nearly a quarter of their capacity in eight years, it claims. We’ve seen other studies suggest that fast charging has little impact on long-term b...
