Why Charging Slows After 80% SOC & Why You Should Stop to Save Time @ROADRECHARGE #evindia #cretaev

Have you noticed your EV charging speed drops sharply after 80% SOC? 🤔

In this video, I explain the real reason behind it and why stopping at 80% can actually save you time during road trips.

🔋 What you’ll learn:
• What is SOC (State of Charge)?
• Why fast charging is highest between 10%–60%
• Why charging slows after 80%
• What is Constant Current (CC) & Constant Voltage (CV) phase?
• How high SOC increases battery stress
• Why stopping at 80% saves charging time on highways

⚡ Technical Reason:

EV batteries follow a charging curve:
• 0–60% → High power (fast charging)
• 60–80% → Gradual tapering
• 80–100% → Charging speed drops significantly to protect battery life

After 80%, the Battery Management System (BMS) reduces current to:
✔ Prevent overheating
✔ Avoid lithium plating
✔ Increase battery longevity

That’s why most EV manufacturers recommend daily charging up to 80%.

If you’re planning EV road trips, this strategy can save 20–40 minutes per stop.
