Fast charging damages overall battery health and shortens battery life. To this day, the battery manuals state that to maximize battery life, only charge up to 80%, and do not let the charge go below 20%.

LFP batteries are more forgiving than lNMC batteries in this regard. However, LFP batteries weigh more and hold less charge. Something to consider when buying an EV.
