Battery Degradation
Hey guys, I've had my car for about 6 months and charge it exclusively at EA stations as they are close to my office. Is there a way to know the level of Degradation my battery has? On my iphone for instance I can see my batteries health and I'm assuming there has to be a way for the car as well.
Thanks

L3 chargers certainly place a greater ‘strain’ on the battery than L2 chargers; (EVSEs). So you might be inducing accelerated degradation by only using an L3 charger, although at 6 months it would be minimal to close to zero I’d assume.

Dealer can pull data on battery health and provide level of "degrade" - ask for the data to be pulled next time your at the dealership for another reason - it's generally best practice to charge at 50 kW or less to maximize battery longevity - charge rates at 50 kW or more is harder on the battery vs. charging at home at say 9.6 or 11 kW…

Btw: a couple of owners on the etron forum use this to keep track of their battery health:
