NEVER Charge Your EV To 100% Like THIS (EVER!)

Charging your EV to 100% isn't automatically bad, but how, when, and why you charge to full can make a major difference to battery aging. In this video, we break down 11 of the worst ways to charge your EV to 100%, including the charging habits that can quietly increase battery stress over time.

You'll learn why the 80% rule doesn't apply equally to every EV, why leaving your car fully charged overnight is different from charging to 100% right before a trip, and why slow AC charging doesn't eliminate the effects of sitting at a high state of charge. We also cover hot batteries, cold-weather charging, regenerative braking, fast charging, lithium plating, calendar aging, and why voltage, temperature, and time are the three factors EV owners need to understand.

Most importantly, you'll see why charging to 100% before immediate driving is very different from leaving a fully charged EV parked for days. The video also explains the important exception for certain LFP batteries, which may require regular full charges for battery calibration.
