I was curious too, but it sort of makes sense. What batteries dislike is not charging per se, but heat. When you use fast charging in a Tesla, it actively runs a liquid cooling system, so the battery is probably heating up a lot less than the one in your phone and damage is correspondingly less. Also, phone batteries only have a couple cells, Teslas have several thousand: the wear of charge/discharge cycles can be spread out over all of them.
- w-ll 3y agoHad no clue Tesla had liquid cooling system, but makes sense. Do that also have a way to heat batteries or other components for cold weather environments?
- calciphus 3y agoThe Tesla Y introduced a heat pump for this purpose, and earlier models included heaters. There's some impact to range for running the heater but it helps for sure.
