Lithium-Eisenphosphat (LFP)
Valid for: Tesla Model 3 RWD, BYD Atto 3, NIO ES6
Range: Chargeable to 100% – no degradation.
The optimal charging strategy for your EV
Kern-Prinzip: Intelligente Ladeplanung statt blindem Laden
The perfect charging strategy is based on three factors: vehicle model, charging column, and current battery temperature. LadeGuide automates this calculation for you.
1. The 80-percent rule explained
Most EVs reach their maximum charging power up to about 80%. Beyond that, the process slows down significantly due to the decreasing charging curve of the battery.
| Batteriestand | Ladeleistung | Geschwindigkeit |
|---|---|---|
| 0–50% | Voll (100%) | Schnellphase |
| 50–80% | Slightly reduced power | Effizienter Bereich |
| 80–100% | Stark reduziert | Inefficient – only when needed |
2. Fahrzeugspezifisches Laden
Every EV has a different charging curve and a different optimal charging range:
Lithium-Ion (NMC/NCA)
Valid for: Most premium EVs (VW ID.4, BMW iX, etc.)
Range: Ideal 20–80% – easy on the cell chemistry.
Kaltwetter-Modus
Valid for: all models at temperatures < 5°C
Range: Avoid range loss from cold: when needed preheat, ideally while charging.
Preheat the car
Valid for: all models in cold weather
Tipp: When the car is hanging at the charging column, preheat — the energy comes from the grid, the range stays intact.
3. Charging times in practical comparison (AC charging)
| Charging point | Leistung | Dauer (10–80%) | Typischer Einsatzort |
|---|---|---|---|
| At home (Wallbox) | 3,7 – 11 kW (AC) | 4–8 Stunden | Eigenheim, Garage, Tiefgarage |
| Public AC column | 3,7 – 22 kW | 1,5–6 Stunden | Einkaufszentren, Hotels |
| Tesla Supercharger (LFP) | 150 – 250 kW (DC) | 10–20 Minuten* | Hauptverkehrsachsen |
| HPC Charger | 250 – 400+ kW (DC) | 10–20 Minuten* | Autobahnkorridore |
| Megawatt (MCS) | 1 – 3,75 MW (DC) | 25–40 Minuten² | Autobahnkorridore (E-LKW) |
*Measured at optimal battery temperature and available grid power. ²Megawatt charging (MCS) today is primarily for large electric trucks designed.
