Do’s And Don’ts Of Electric Vehicle Charging
Do’s And Don’ts Of Electric Vehicle Charging
Unlike gasoline-powered cars, electric vehicles require charging to run. If you own an electric vehicle, you must ensure that its batteries are in great condition. Lithium-ion batteries, which are also used in cell phones and laptops, may experience some level of damage over time. Once your EV’s battery loses its efficiency, it may impact your driving range.
Get the most out of your EV’s batteries by following dos and don’ts from your trusted HVAC and solar panel company, Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.
DO Time Your Charge
You may prefer plugging in your EV battery all night so it can charge while you sleep. However, it’s best not to leave it on the charger for too long. If your charger has a timer, be sure to set it to shut off at least an hour or two before you leave in the morning.
DON’T Reach 100% Full Charge
The lithium-ion batteries of your EV should be charged up to around 80% capacity instead of 100%. According to research, this helps ensure the batteries’ longevity and health, especially if you use your EV for daily driving. Plus, it allows space for regenerative braking to convert kinetic energy into usable energy.
DO Keep It Cool
Make sure to park your EV in a shady spot on a hot day. By doing so, you prevent your battery from overheating and draining your charge. In addition, you may want to put your battery on charge while it’s parked to keep it from draining.
DON’T Use Quick Charge
While it can be tempting to use a quick charge on your EV battery to get it to charge fast, it may take a little life away from your battery, especially in extreme cold. By reducing quick charging, you ensure your battery’s health and performance.
By following these dos and don’ts of electric vehicle charging, rest assured your EV will remain in great shape for the long run.

Customer Testimonials
Our clients love the energy solutions we provide!
Nick is very well educated on the products industry. He has been in the industry for years now and knows more than anyone else I have spoken to. Its very refreshing to have the owner of the company come out to talk to you about your options compared to a door to door sales guy who cant even answer the most basic questions. Im very happy with the service and attention to detail.

These guys actually know what they are doing and do what they say they are going to do. They are capable in many areas including installing solar panels, Tesla batteries and also HVAC. They complete the whole job with their own employees rather than using outside contractors. We were really pleased with the results on three separate jobs. Thanks.

Nick and Green Air installed our Solar One year ago, it has exceeded its projected output and works great! The work was started and completed on time and Green Air completed all the extra work such as getting permits from the city of Benicia. Green Air employees cleaned up their work site daily and they were a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that we have shrunk our carbon footprint.

Our solar was installed on our house earlier this year. I found Nick and Green Air to be extremely professional, responsive to questions and started and completed the job on time. Nick has a very strong work ethic and was competitive in his pricing as compared to other companies. It’s also nice to know that PG & E is now my customer!
