128 - What is EV charging curve and why you shouldn't DC fast charge beyond 80%?
Listen now
Description
When people talk about charging their electric vehicles, most people boast about the maximum DC charging power possible. The higher the kW number, the faster the battery gets topped up, or so logic dictates. But just because one car can hit a higher peak power figure than another doesn't mean it automatically wins out as there's something called the EV charging curve. In this episode of Let's Talk About, Amin and Alex discuss EV battery voltage (800V vs 400V) and how that affects the charging curve that ultimately determines how soon you can unplug your car and drive off.
