147 - The 80% Episode

<p>This is episode 147 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners.</p> <p>On the show today we’re doing some educating and talking about what happens when you stay on a rapid charger when it’s gone beyond 80% state of charge.</p> <p>Charging above this rate usually involves throttling which slows down the charge. So what are the circumstances under which you should stay on a charger when it's charging slowly, and when should you consider getting off and freeing the unit up for others?</p> <p>This season of the podcast is sponsored by <a href= "https://www.zap-map.com/apps/?utm_source=EV+Musings+podcast+&utm_medium=Podcast+show+notes&utm_id=EV+Musings+podcast&utm_content=Links+to+app+page"> Zap-Map</a>, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.</p> <p><strong>Social Media:</strong><br /> Patreon Link: <a href= "http://www.patreon.com/evmusings">http://www.patreon.com/evmusings</a></p> <p>Ko-fi Link: <a href= "http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings">http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings</a></p> <p>EVMusings: Twitter <a href= "https://twitter.com/MusingsEv">https://twitter.com/MusingsEv</a><br /> and Facebook <a href= "http://www.facebook.com/The-EV-Musings-Podcast-2271582289776763">http://www.facebook.com/The-EV-Musings-Podcast-2271582289776763</a><br /> Octopus Energy referral code (Click this link to get started) <a href= "https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460">https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460</a><br /> 'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon : <a href= "https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X">https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X</a><br /> 'So, you've gone renewable?’ on Amazon : <a href= "https://amzn.to/3LXvIck">https://amzn.to/3LXvIck</a></p>
