Does rapid charging of an electric vehicle wear out the battery faster? Here's an article from AZA materials . That after question fast charging and this potential impacts on EV battery health . rapid charging make the transition more workable . But there's a consequence . The consequences heat when converting electrical energy from AC to DC heat is the worst energy enemy of an electric vehicle battery pack . Evie batteries have . developed to fully function in a range of 15 to 45 degrees C high temperatures may have catastrophic effects So , even use of an Evie . In hot climates will degrade the battery faster That's been proven . Overheating can dramatically impede a battery's ability to stay charged . And cold can also do the same thing . Evie can also . Keep the battery from charging at its full capacity to begin with
Useful life rechargeable batteries are designed to last a few thousand charge cycles . Excessive heat damage can significantly reduce a battery's usefulness by several years . So as that fast charger , Blast energy into that battery . It can overheat the battery starting to decompose , initiating thermal runaway . Potentially catastrophic
They're talking about putting . Sensors . Into the connection port thermal management system and inside the bag . pack to have a temperature sensor to see if that battery overheats . There's been reports of vehicles that have been used in hot climates in Arizona and Nevada where the battery capacity has degraded much much quicker even with low miles . So making sure that battery health is monitored on a regular basis , especially when you're looking to purchase an electric vehicle , to make sure that your remaining battery capacity is up to snuff and keeps the vehicle having an acceptable value for longer-term use
