Does fast charging and slow charging of new energy vehicles affect battery life?
1 Answers
Fast charging and slow charging of new energy vehicles do affect battery life. The impacts of fast charging and slow charging on battery life are as follows: 1. Fast charging: Fast charging stores direct current (DC) directly into the battery, so the requirements for the battery are very high. The power of DC is large, and the charging process accelerates the flow of electrons from the positive to the negative electrode. Long-term or frequent use of fast charging can cause the battery temperature to rise, leading to faster battery degradation. 2. Slow charging: Slow charging uses alternating current (AC), with lower current and power compared to DC. Although the charging time is longer, it provides better protection for battery life and results in lower electricity costs.
