Hello @DStew-1999 ,

Thank you for asking your question in our community. Yes, charging exclusively from home with a lower-powered charger like a 2.3 kW (10 amp) can help reduce battery degradation compared to faster chargers. Lower charging speeds typically generate less heat, which can be a significant factor in battery wear.

Slower charging allows for a more gradual chemical reaction within the battery cells, promoting better overall health. As long as you're not frequently discharging the battery to very low levels or letting it stay at high charge levels for extended periods, your charging habits contribute to longer battery life.

We recently published a blog that addresses your questions quite thoroughly. You can find this information under the section "How do charging methods affect battery health?"

Let us know if you have any other questions about this. We are here to help.

Have a great day!
