Tesla owners might not have to worry about Supercharging too much.
Electric vehicle research organization Recurrent collected battery health data on over 12,500 US Tesla vehicles measured over five years.
Its assessment of the data shows no “statistically significant difference in range degradation” between EVs charged only (more than 90 percent of the time) at high-speed DC chargers versus primarily using AC ones (less than 10 percent use of fast chargers). It might not hold up all other EVs and charging situations, but it’s something.
