Best practices for charging ID.4?

[Bruce Patt]

Good Morning...my wife and I are looking at purchasing an ID.4 in a couple of weeks. We live in a condo without the ability or capacity to put a L1 or L2 charger in our parking space. We do live very close to 2 Electrify America charging stations which offer L3 charging. Our question or concern is this: are we going to do any long-term harm to the battery pack if we rely almost exclusively on L3 charging? Does doing that place an inordinate strain on the battery system? Any insight into this would be helpful. Thank you...Bruce

If you keep your charges below 80% you probably won’t see any degradation. I know of others on the forum who have done nothing but fast charging for over three years and have seen no degradation. It ok to charge to 100% for road trips if you need to.

You could also check PlugShare.com or their app which will show you all the chargers in your area.
