Yes, in theory that should prolong battery life a bit. Lower amperage charging is healthy for any battery type. As Bob said, charging at night is best as well.

There is no evidence that lower amperage 240v charging, in and of itself, has any impact on battery life.

There is significant evidence that heat is bad. If your EV has thermal battery management, I wouldn't be concerned at all. If you have an EV with no thermal management (LEAF, e-Golf, etc), keeping the battery cool requires user intervention and care. Lower charging rates might be of some benefit if the vehicle is not designed with a way to cool the batteries.

Guess the Kia Niro EV doesn't have a enhanced battery. But if I charge 20%-80% I will charge more so it's confusing.
 
Hello Everyone,

Aside from being a proud owner of a 2011 Nissan Leaf, I am a graduate student who is conducting a Marketing Research Project that is focused on the ownership experience of older BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles).

The most important part of my project is to request for insights from current & former BEV drivers.

1) If you could spare 10-15 minutes of your time, I would like to kindly invite you to complete the following survey:

Survey Link

2) If you feel inclined to do so, please feel free to share the link to as many BEV owners that you know.

Thank you in advance for both your time and support.

[Note: I believe the survey will only stay open until the end of this Sunday (PST))

The survey is harmless but advocates a 'battery swap' or 'battery lease' approach. This is not something I have any interest but the survey didn't ask why.
