Do you know how fast I can charge up my KIA EV9 at a Electrify America charging station? Pretty fast. 37% to 90% in about 30 minutes. Here is a detil look at the process.
Long story short… I’ve heard of other vehicles who can ‘throttle back’ or lower their kw’s that their car is pulling through their car charging app. Does Kia have such an option?
EVs slow charging down from 80-100 %. The closer you get to 100 the slower it gets. To my understanding this is to protect the battery. This is why they quote 10-80 % when saying fast charging. Also your supposedly not supposed fo charge the car to 100 % often.
Yes,, long distance travel is troublesome. I never take 1 hour break to destination. 30 mins charge to gain 150 mile... that's terrible for any situation.. WAKE UP,,EV trolls.

So can we use that fast charging everyday ? Is it bad for the battery life after all
It is technically bad for the battery to do fast charging all the time and top it up at 100% all the time.

Agreed
It’s not to protect the battery. It’s how batteries work
very strange; in the netherlands I get often 200 kW. even 206 seen.
Our charging stations probably is not as good as
