Ok to charge at CCS 20KW station regularly ?

[yellowr6]

hi community,

I have a 2022 MYP. So My home charger is 6kw. There is a free CCS 20kw 2 miles away. Figure I can stop by every other night or so to charge for a hour or two, and use my phone. There's also a 10kw charger there too, figure 20kw is much faster if my battery is under 50%.


what y'all think? Good or bad for the battery health? just thinking long term, liked 200k+ miles. I intend to drive this car until the wheels fall off.


TIA!

Well, the Wall Charger puts out 11.5 kw and that is okay for daily use. That means your 10kw ccs option is fine. My guess is 20kw would be alright too.

Dont overthink it and charge, I use our towns free 50KW DCFC all the time, my battery degradation for my 2021 is barely noticeable, you're fine, just charge drive and enjoy.

Shouldn’t hurt anything. The original dual chargers could go up to 22KW (277V @ 80A)

Cool! Thx guys!!!!

Last Q. Would u guys pre condition the battery before heading there ? There’s a SC near by that I can activate the pre conditioning procedure.

No - it's not like a super charger that can deliver 250 kw.

I don't even have a home charger. Other than occasional free charge in the office at 6kW, I have been solely using either Electrify Canada or Supercharger since I picked up the car in December 2021.
According to Tessie, the degradation is 4.5% after 38,500km in 13 months. I know that I'm not keeping the car forever so I'm happy with it. Don't sweat it, just enjoy the car.

Awesome!

Thx guys! Really appreciate it.

Where is this charger? Stonestown? I believe Volta limits you to 30 minutes.

You've gotta be above 80%, maybe above 90%, before you start to see throttling under 20 kW.

Either should be fine. Even 20 kW is not even 0.25C because the battery is so big.
