Is there ANY mention of the DAMAGE done to the battery with this fast charging? The damage is significant.

Also, to this day, the recommendation for ultimate battery care is only charge to 80%, and do not let it get below 20%.

“Is there ANY mention of the DAMAGE done to the battery with this fast charging? The damage is significant.”


It’s long been believed that the high amount of energy, so quickly deployed, when fast charging an EV must have the side effect of degrading the battery more quickly than would the use of a slow charger. A new study concludes that that isn’t the case after all.

The experts at Recurrent studied fast charging on more than 12,500 Tesla vehicles in the US, comparing cars that fast charge at least 90% of the time with those that fast charge less than 10% of the time. Their results showed no statistically significant difference in range degradation between the two groups of Teslas.

But most charging will be done at home overnight. This is so you can charge up on a road trip without needing to stay at the rest stop for hours.
