That puts it at a 12C charge rate. The question is how the batteries will hold up over time. Does each fast charge cycle make a noticable degradation to the capacity?
If they're using LFP it's probably okay, they can usually take higher charge and discharge rates at the cost of lower energy density. But I'd be worried if they're pushing NMC battery chemistries to 12C, as I think that'd kill the life of the battery.
Pretty sure BYD uses LFP. There's little reason to use NMC unless you're trying to reach the absolute maximum possible range. I think that's only really an important factor in North America.
Genuinely, even if the degradation ws ateocious I would only care in so far as its environmental impact. Long journeys in EVs suck but getting charge time down is the answer...unless hydrogen takes off
Yeah, I'd only do the quick charge a few times per year, I'd trickle charge all night the rest of the year.
I would do it a few times a journey! I trickle each night but my range is tops 370 without AC etc. I charge to 80% to and from work...but I dont go in often
