So I keep hearing that fast charging is bad for EV batteries, but there are also some studies that suggests damage is negligible...
It seems that the logic is the excessive heat from the high rate of charge damages the battery modules, and not that DC is more damaging than AC charging.
My question is, if I use a "slow" DC charging station that gives between 12-24kwh, is the "damage" roughly the same as using a 11kwh / 22kwh(if it ever becomes available) AC Charger?
The reason I am asking is that there is this place that I spend 2 hours twice a week, providing free "slower" DC charging. I am wondering if I should rely heavily on it because my home and office only have level 1 wall sockets available.
Thanks!
