This might have been true years ago I think that it is patently ridiculous. If your phone was engineered to fast charge and a fast charger is provided for you especially it can take fast charging lol

I believe you have too much faith in the manufacturers....what is stated is that fast charging degrades the battery. Else there would be little reason for slow charging.

I see these foreigners using condominium general power outlets to charge these dangerous vehicles. 

 

 

Oh, I didn´t know, there are different and safe outlets for charging batteries. Not use "condominium general power outlets".  Can you please give me anlink for those safe outlets?

Although it does detract from the convenience of things if one has to sit and watch it for 4 hours. 

My eMTB recharges in 1-2 hours.

It's charging on my patio right now after this mornings 21km ride.

My home parking is directly under the house. I doubt I will ever buy an electric vehicle for this reason.

If you are using lithium-ion rechargeable batteries you need a lithium-ion specific fire extinguisher on hand, like those you find in EV garages. To not have one is negligent.

It's not the batteries, it's where they are charging them, and leaving them unattended.

That uncommon common sense, some folks simply don't have.

 Truest thing ever said on here.  This applies to all of your cordless tools too, I know of 3 shops that burned due to cordless tool batteries catching fire over night. 

I know another guy that travels around the country with his kids in their motorhome racing remote rock crawlers. He had the batteries on the charger under the drivers seat. 3rd degree burns below the hips and lost everything.

It's not only here, either....

We are filling our homes and garages with battery-powered vehicles that, once they catch fire, cannot be extinguished.

Common sense solves, prevents most oops, or negative effects of.

 

Car ... LFP chemistry, from reputable auto maker (SAIC/MG or BYD), and rare to have a battery fire.  Charge in open air carport

 

MB  ... Buy LFP from reputable dealer (DECO) & charge outdoors

Ebike, same, buy best, and charge outdoors

 

Ours, MG ZS / LFP ... nuff said

MB, 3.5 yrs old, not LFP, charge outdoors ... no issues

Ebike, 3 yrs old (?), not LFP, charge outdoors ... no issues

 

35+ LIPO Battery Drones, Cars, Boats, el cheapo, charge indoors mostly, only 3S 5000mAh batteries, at most.   Abused, and only 1 small pop, while charging battery that should have been discarded yrs earlier ... oops

 

Buy Sh!t, get Sh!t ... Roll the Dice 😎
