One common question that arises is, "Should I unplug my EV charger when not in use?" In this article, we will explore this question and provide insights into the best practices for EV charger usage to help you make informed decisions.

Should I Unplug My EV Charger When Not in Use?

Leaving an electric vehicle (EV) charger plugged in when not in use is generally not harmful to the battery, thanks to sophisticated battery management systems (BMS) in modern EVs. These systems ensure optimal charging and help prevent overcharging or undercharging. However, factors such as extreme temperatures and frequent charging to 100% capacity can impact the battery's lifespan over time. To minimize any potential impact, it is advisable to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging and storage. This may include keeping the battery between 20-80% capacity for regular use and maintaining the battery level at around 50% if the EV will be stored for an extended period. Consulting the manufacturer's recommendations can help maximize the battery's lifespan.
