Try to choose slow charging
Generally, electric vehicles have two interfaces, fast charging and slow charging. Fast charging is high-power DC charging, which can usually charge 80% of the battery capacity in about an hour. Slow charging is AC charging, and the complete charging process takes 6 to 8 hours.
With the current level of battery technology, even fast charging takes at least about 30 minutes to charge to 80% of the battery capacity. After exceeding 80%, in order to protect the safety of the battery, the charging current must be reduced, otherwise the battery will cause problems due to overheating. In daily car use, it is recommended that you try not to choose fast charging.

Reduce charging frequency
Many car owners will connect the charger to their vehicle to fully charge the battery, no matter how many miles they drive in a day. (PS: High-frequency charging will also cause damage to the battery!) It is recommended that car owners charge according to the next day's driving mileage. For example, a vehicle can travel 400 kilometers on a full charge. If it only travels 40 kilometers a day, it can be fully charged once a week. High frequency charging is harmful to the vehicle!

Avoid long-term parking
If an electric vehicle is parked for a long time, the battery power will gradually decrease, eventually leading to battery loss. Battery loss will not only reduce battery capacity and shorten battery life, but in severe cases may even cause battery short circuit and cause combustion accidents. Therefore, be sure to avoid long-term parking with low battery. (PS: Remember, the worst thing about a car is being parked or idle for a long time!)
