[question]
Does DC fast charging degrade capacity?
[/question]
[answer]
Frequent, high-power DC charging can accelerate cell aging (mainly due to heat and chemical stress). Use it when traveling/when necessary, but for everyday use, AC home charging is gentler.

[question]
Does AC charging “preserve” capacity?
[/question]
[answer]
The moderate power and heat load of AC is more favorable for battery health, so a slower capacity loss can be expected in the long term than if you were to typically charge with DC.

[question]
What kind of “battery hygiene” is recommended?
[/question]
[answer]
Mostly between 20–80% cycle, 100% only before a long trip; avoid extreme cold/heat, precondition the car (if you can), use temperature-friendly modes.
