In recent years, sales of electric vehicles have continued to grow around the world, and especially in France. So much so that the latter have even overtaken diesels in our country, and this trend may continue and even develop. However, some aspects still deter motorists, for example, autonomy and recharging. Fortunately, there are now more and more high-speed terminals around the country. But the question remains: do the latter spoil the battery of electric cars faster?

There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice, it will be necessary to return pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

A small nuance

The short answer is yes, fast charging wears down EV batteries faster. This is because the lithium-ion batteries used in most electric vehicles are sensitive to heat. However, fast DC terminal charging generates a lot that can accelerate battery aging. However, it still makes no sense to scare. And for good reason, a study showed that using fast charging more than three times a month increased battery life by 0.1% compared to drivers who never used it.

A few tips

In addition, there are simple tips for limit battery discharge your electric car. Avoid charging to 100% if you can. In fact, it’s a good idea to only fill it to 80% or 90%, and if possible, not use fast charging too regularly. Also, it’s best not to charge in extreme temperatures, whether it’s very hot or very cold. However, it is best to prefer charging from an AC source such as a wall box at home.
