EV Charging Guidelines and Optimization
- It is advisable to charge the vehicle to 100% each time you charge it.
- After a maximum of four continuous fast charging cycles or opportunity charging cycles (where the SOC was below 100%), it is mandatory to use slow/AC charging to reach 100% SOC.
- Slow/AC charging to 100% SOC is essential at least once a month or after every four fast/opportunity charging cycles, whichever comes first, for SOC calibration and cell balancing.
- Avoid charging the vehicle in heavy rain or thunderstorms.
- Do not drive the vehicle when the SOC is below 10%.
Optimize the distribution of slow and fast charging to:
- Enhance battery life.
- Ensure consistent vehicle and battery performance.
- Maximize driving range.
- Minimize the use of fast charging to prolong the high-voltage battery's life.
