Report outlines EV charging habits that speed up battery degradation
A new report details common EV charging behaviors that can accelerate battery wear, including habits like routinely charging to 100 percent, charging in extreme heat, and frequent use of DC fast chargers. Instead, the report recommends keeping charge levels between 20 and 80 percent for most driving, varying ideal caps by battery chemistry (LFP vs NMC), and favoring Level 2 charging over Level 3 when possible.
