    Is this the reasonable counter to the Mish mash of weirdness on the BBC earlier tonight?
    That was a weirdly weaponised attack against electric with ‘just’ enough facts to not look biased

    Like the tea analogy. Hungry for the battery chemistry video.🍰😊

    Where is it documented that batteries are ‘happiest’ at 60%. And some cars now have a more linear charging curve which doesn’t drop off at 80% and in any case I’m fairly sure that ‘rule’ only applies to DC charging, not AC?

      You don’t get high speed AC charging.

      Actually it applies to AC charging as well, except it usually is so slow that it is only seen between 97-100%

    Do all Citroens have a gigantic USB-C charging port in their drivers door? Or is this tiny Ginny with toy town cars?

      Disagree, people need to change their mindset. It’s not the same experience as ICE and won’t ever be

    Some of the first Lithium batteries, yes. The Lithium Ion (NMC) version.
    That is why you want the modern LFP batteries.
    Those can charge to 100% without degredation and run down to 0 without damaging.
    That is what all people should know. I wont buy that Lithium Ion battery EV.

    So, why are manufacturers so dishonest by quoting range based on 100% charge when the real range is 80% to 50 miles (where your low fuel light normally comes on). My guess is because so many EVs have a real range of less than 100 miles.

      It’s perfectly acceptable to charge to 100% when you need the range.

      I think the real range of 100miles or less really only applies to supermini size or older EVs. Loads get 200+

      Absolutely this car has 280 mile range but 95% of the time it wont

    So frustrating! EV’S are facing a barrage of misinformation and yet you have just added MORE confusion and misinformation to the mix!
    Your charging and discharging advice is only applicable to the “older” style of batteries, which are slowly being phased out. The newer battery chemistry of Lithium Iron Phosphate have virtually no restrictions on how or when they are charged. What does matter to ALL current types of batteries is the speed of charging, which was not even mentioned! Regularly using Fast charging or “Level 3” charging has been shown to degrade most of not all types of batteries, faster than normal home, “level 2” charging systems.
    Disappointed!

    I like EVs I drive a phev and charge via home solar but all those points are a negative I’d rather wait until the technology improves, solid state or sodium ion batteries. And or course don’t forget the infrastructure.

    An explanation by a man would be far more informative. Women should stick to promoting gadgets.

    As someone from the states, I love your tea analogy. Except over here it would be coffee 😉

    A better analogy is pouring coke. You can pour fast but near the end you need to pour slow to allow the bubbles to settle.
