    In recent test of a German auto club they found out that it‘s cheaper/ more effective to charger faster. You loose a lot of energy if you load slow over hours.

    This energy is taken by the electricity of the car. So, while charging the car is on and takes some Watts. There are just a few brands that have decoupled the charger circuit from the overall electric circuit of the car.

    Can’t find the article now, but I think charging a PHEV through a standard power plug had about 20% energy lost. It was clearly visible that a charger is a good choice.

    Edit: link https://www-adac-de.translate.goog/rund-ums-fahrzeug/elektromobilitaet/laden/ladeverluste-elektroauto-studie/?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

    You‘ll loose

    • ~10-30% AC 2.3kw Standard Power Plug
    • ~ 5-10% DC 11kw Wallbox
    • Internal car electronics are crucial: Is the loading circuit de-coupled or the entire car On?
    • Temperature or pre-heating the battery before loading reduces losses at DC charging

      Yes, he responds to that in the video.

      Did that account for battery lifetime, because if not, that could offset efficiency gains as fast charging degrades batteries.

        I‘m not sure if fast charging degrades batteries. Just read somewhere an article stating that fast charging initially - first charge - boosts the overall capacity of the batterie due to chemical reactions that do not occur that long at anodes.

        The issue with fast charging was the thermal management - it’s getting to hot. This is managed by good battery management and a different packaging of cells nowadays. I think fast charging isn’t an issue anymore. Can’t provide you a link or such, it’s what I gathered through serveral podcasts.

          If you could find any evidence to support all that, i might consider it, until then, ill roll with what i know.

            Can you source your statement that fast charging reduces lifetime?

        Any AC load you can throw at an EV is effectively “slow charging”. My car supports a maximum of 9.6kw from an AC charger, but up to 150kw from DC fast chargers. Even with the fast charging, its not like a phone, it has active thermal management which will cool the battery and slow down the charging if it gets too hot. phones don’t really have that and is mainly why they degrade faster if quick charged.

            Here is a paper on the relationship between heat and battery degradation

          It’s a neat conversion for EV charging. 7kw x 2.5 miles per kwh is 17.5 mph. Most EV onboard chargers top out at 11kw, 27.5 miles per hour. So from the battery’s perspective, 22kw is it’s normal discharge rate at 60mph.

      Watts/h

      Just watts, watts is already Joules per second.
