Thats the same with most batteries, not just EV’s.

They usually refer to the full charge as a deep charge which is better for the cells. Just doing the quick charge all the time will usually result in lesser battery life.

Both concepts look very promising. One question however pops to mind. Why can Most EV’s recieve 80% charge in 20-30minutes but the remaining 20% takes 8 HOURS. What is the big difference for?

The Ray is quite gross, and much too big in every direction.
