Won't too much fast charging deteriorate the battery health faster?
5 comments

There was an article around here about how battery life actually improves if you ultra-fast charge the battery when you make it.

Maybe it will deteriorate it, but it seems that the effect that different charge types have on batteries may not be complete yet.

I don't know that "fast deterioration of battery health" is an actual widespread problem in EVs made in the last couple of years.

In fact, it might be the opposite:

Solid-state batteries, which BYD is also working on, mitigate this problem.

Part of the research is probably making this effect less pronounced?
