Another area where drivers need knowledge is on charging methods. While most EV drivers are familiar with the public or private charging options and modalities such as AC or DC, they may not know how charging affects the vehicle’s battery health, which is a key driver of maintenance costs for EVs. Understanding how to best utilize charging facilities, set rules for unplugging vehicles after they are fully charged, and using different charging modes depending on needs and the battery, can help drivers to get the most out of their EV and achieve the best mileage in each trip.
