Two months ago we took ownership of a brand new first generation 44 kw ZS EV. There will be no gen 2 models here until the end of the year at the earliest. So we grabbed this gen 1 on run out for the equivalent of £20,000 driveaway after receivng government rebate/subsidy. The car is used for local running around and we intended to just use the granny charger. But having got the car we took our first look at our local nearby 50kw rapid charger to check charging fees, and general rapid charging procedure should we ever need to urgently rapid charge. It was then we discovered that this rapid charger is free to use! Hence we have been using it exclusively. My question is will constant rapid charging to 80/90% harm the battery? Should we be charging occasionally from the granny charger? This is our first EV, so it's all new to us and we were surprised to discover this free rapid charger, as this is not the norm here.
