Everything. You can think of it as heat. When electrons move they interfere with other magnetic fields around them. The longer the charge the more the disturbance in the battery. If you super charge a ZS with a 125 kW charger the battery maximises at 80% before you give up charging. If you use a...

What you really need to keep an eye on is the miles per kWh. If it is high then your range will be further. I have achieved 5.8 mi/kWh. The range is only an estimate of what the battery can achieve within a given temperature range. In winter it is low because the battery is used to heat the car...

The car has a 75kW dc transformer. Charge it at 50kW. This reduces the magnetic field disturbances in the battery, allowing smoother charging. If you can fast charge up to 80%, then use your 3 pin charger (2kW ac) at home up to 100%, your battery will eventually regulate to give you a higher...
