Here are the best practices to adopt. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The 20-80% rule: why is it important?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 20-80% rule is an important principle for recharging electric vehicles. It involves maintaining the battery&#8217;s charge level between 20% and 80% of its capacity.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To preserve the battery, avoid extreme charges (0% and 100%) to reduce stress on the cells. The lithium-ion chemistry used in today&#8217;s batteries prefers partial charge cycles. By maintaining a charge level between 20% and 80%, you can significantly extend the life of your battery.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charging speed is also optimal in this range. Recharging slows down considerably above 80% to protect the battery. A charge from 80% to 100% can take as long as a charge from 20% to 80%.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For everyday use, this capacity is more than sufficient<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other parameters can influence service life, such as the outside temperature or the use of your vehicle&#8217;s heating system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Choosing the right wattage<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b><a href=\"https:\/\/vectura.be\/en\/landing\/home-charging-stations\/\">At home<\/a>: the importance of proper installation<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The installation of a Wallbox of at least 7.4 kW is recommended.

Not all vehicles accept the same charging power. For example, a Renault Zo\u00e9 accepts a maximum of 50 kW for fast charging, while a Tesla Model 3 can reach 250 kW. A little trick with intelligent charging stations: they adapt to the maximum charging power accepted by the vehicle. There&#8217;s no need for a preliminary check, as the terminal can regulate and restrict itself.    <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan stops every 300 km or so to optimize journey time.
