Charging your car at home is the best way to go. But when you're on the road, fast charging can seriously help. So why do some EVs still charge so slowly?
With a proper setup, owning and driving an electric car can be a pretty seamless experience. If you have a charger at home, you’ll never really have to worry about charging — simply plug in at home, and your car will always have enough juice to get you through the day.
How bad is it? In day-to-day use, charging at 50kW is fine. After all, your home charger doesn’t charge at anywhere near that speed in the first place — it’s more for charging over long periods of time. And that’s actually a good thing. Fast charging all the time isn’t great for the battery, and in order to maximize the life span of your car, you should mostly rely on a home charger or a charger at your workplace.
Cars to avoid If you’re in the market for a new electric car, it’s worth making sure that charging speed is one of your considerations. Even if you don’t plan on fast-charging all that much, I guarantee that you’ll need to at some point — and when you do, you don’t want to have to wait around for longer than you have to.
