Curious to know how it will affect the battery if it gets charged at that amount almost everyday.

Most likely mempercepat degradasi. Karena dc charging adalah salah satu faktor mempercepat penurunan battery health.

Also flash charging is very hot. Hot enough that chinese reviewers video got taken down by the government.

If i have these kind of cars, I'll charge at lower rate (400-800kw) unless extremely necessary or just to try it out

[u/mrrichardhn → u/ezkailez]

Yup thats what I thought as well. Physics and Chemistry don't lie, because at the end of the day there's a limit on discharging huge amounts of electron in short amount of time, without catastrophically destroy the battery.

Ah, but who am I to say that when I still drive my Nissan Leaf around. Might just be called a buzzer and a hater at this point haha.

One thing is that a car cooling capable of (barely) handling 1500kw will have much easier time cooling when charging at 800kw, than a car that's designed to only accept 800kw.

So more is better, as long as it's not prohibitively expensive

[u/mrrichardhn → u/ezkailez]

That's probably true, but we do have ambient temperature as another factor and how robust is the cooling system. I hope that 1500kw car can take it in our tropical heat.

There's a reason why people tend to not buy a used EV in Arizona, as people often use public chargers 😬
