Lithium-ion batteries, can cope with frequent short charging periods. In fact, frequent charging is assumed, so the batteries have been developed in such a way that even frequent charging has no noticeable effect on their condition.

You should charge your battery to 100% only if you are going on a longer journey. Ideal battery charge levels are between 20% and 80%. Therefore, for daily use, you are advised to charge your car to no more than 80%.

Using fast charging is a great way to charge your car quickly on the go. However, as this can put strain on battery, it is best not to overuse this charging method.

If you know you won’t be using your electric car for a while, it’s best to leave it plugged in and set the maximum charge at no more than 80%. The car can then maintain an optimal charge level on its own while looking after the battery to keep it in good shape.
