Car editor Niek Schenk answers: ‘This can indeed lead to premature depletion of the battery pack. But during charging, the temperature of the battery is constantly monitored. If the battery becomes too hot, the charging capacity is automatically reduced. Furthermore, the frequent use of those fast chargers is not too bad. It is expensive and many drivers prefer to charge at home or at work. There are hardly any fast chargers available there yet.’
