You've Been Misled IGNORE the 80% Charge Rule for Your Car

Common EV charging advice suggests stopping at 80%, but this may be outdated. We analyse why that rule no longer applies. Many drivers have been told that charging past 80% damages their vehicle. This guidance originates from older battery technology that required strict capacity limits to maintain longevity. By reviewing modern battery management systems and current EV charging protocols, we can determine if this restriction is still necessary for the average owner. The rise of the LFP battery has fundamentally altered these requirements. Because these cells are more robust, they often require different charging cycles to ensure the battery health remains optimal. We look at how these chemistries compare to traditional options and what it means for your daily electric vehicle range.
