Fast charging between seven and 22 kW won&rsquo;t have any negative impact on your vehicle, provided that you&rsquo;re also observing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/tips-on-good-ev-charging-etiquette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"good charging habits\">good charging habits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fast Charging vs. Rapid Charging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast and rapid chargers have grown in popularity over the last few years, especially in dynamic environments where being on the go is always a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While both chargers are capable of speeding up the charging process, they have significant differences that you should take note of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fast Charging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast charging typically has a chargepoint that ranges from seven to 22 kW. To charge an EV battery, alternating current (AC) needs to be converted into direct current (DC) via a converter in the EV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using a fast charger, the conversion to DC occurs within the charger instead of the car. And because the charger does this job instead of relying on the EV&rsquo;s onboard computer to convert AC into DC, the vehicle can charge at a faster rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, a fast charger takes less than an hour to charge a battery up to 80%. Once this threshold has been achieved, the EV will slow down the rate at which it accepts or receives charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most modern EVs have state-of-the-art battery management systems that protect battery capacity and performance even when using a fast charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rapid Charging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rapid charging can bring an EV battery to full charge in under 30 minutes. Generally, rapid chargers have chargepoints that can reach up to 150 kW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While using a rapid charger certainly sounds tempting because of how convenient it is, experts warn against the disadvantages of using one due to its impact on battery health and its added cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While fast charging has negligible effects on battery health, the same principle might not apply to rapid charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts recommend using rapid chargers only when drivers are in a hurry. Other than that, fast chargers should work fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EV Charging Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways you can charge an EV. Here are some of the most common charger types and speeds you might encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Level 1 Charging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Level 1 charging uses a standard EV charger that works with a 12-volt AC outlet. It&rsquo;s the most basic form of EV charging and usually takes 40 to 50 hours to get an EV to 80% of its battery capacity from empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs) might require around five to six hours of charging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Level 2 Charging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Level 2 chargers generally work with 240V or 208V AC outlets. It&rsquo;ll take anywhere between four and 10 hours of charging time to get an EV to 80% from empty when using this charger, while PHEVs will need an hour or two of charging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Direct Current Fast Charging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct current fast charging, also known as rapid charging, only takes a few minutes up to an hour to get an EV to 80% from empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rapid chargers are typically found in heavy-traffic corridors and other public locations, such as grocery stores, coffee shops, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preserving EV Battery Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/hybrid-drive-battery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"EV batteries\">EV batteries<\/a> don&rsquo;t come cheap, so drivers are always looking for ways to keep their factory batteries around for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While EV batteries are made to last, you should also do your part to extend their service life. Here are some things you can do to preserve your EV&rsquo;s battery health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Observe Ideal Charging Practices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several manufacturers recommend keeping your battery&rsquo;s charge above 20% and not past 80%. Once the battery hits 80%, the EV will slow down charging on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some EVs let you set up charging limits. Depending on the vehicle&rsquo;s specifications, this process might take a while, but it&rsquo;s worth trying out to ensure battery longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain Optimal Battery Temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Extreme temperature is one of the leading causes of battery wear. Extreme heat or cold can easily damage the battery&rsquo;s lithium-ion cells, reducing its service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your EV is capable of monitoring temperature, be sure to look out for alerts. In some Nissan EVs, for example, a significant drop in temperature causes the vehicle to display a low-temperature alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this happens, the driver is advised to turn on the battery heater for at least 30 minutes before driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the battery, it&rsquo;s also a good idea to check your EV&rsquo;s battery management system from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Issues with this system can display inaccurate readings and information, causing your battery to wear out faster than its intended service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EV Battery Charging FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Do EV Batteries Last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>EV batteries can last anywhere between 10 and 20 years before needing a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s a probability that you&rsquo;ll notice a year-on-year reduction in your battery&rsquo;s overall capacity, but it shouldn&rsquo;t affect your driving when you&rsquo;re not traveling long distances daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Factors Affect EV Battery Longevity?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Battery age, temperature, state of charge, battery chemistry, and battery system and thermal management are some of the factors that affect EV battery longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Before EV Batteries Start to Degrade?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to research, EV batteries degrade by about 1.8% every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Frequent Vehicle Use Affect Battery Longevity?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Frequent vehicle use doesn&rsquo;t exactly contribute to battery degradation. EVs are known to deliver better values when driven frequently.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 4<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>For electric vehicles (EVs), the battery is the heart and soul of their entire system.
