Hi all.
Totally new to EVs.
My parents just got the BYD Dolphin.
An installer installed the supplied charger (mounter on the wall - a gift from BYD).
Unfortunately, while I know ICE jargon, I have no clue what it's called, all I know is that the electrician said it's a "3 phase charger".
On the other hand, there is another regular wall outlet in their garage (the one you would use for your washing machine, let's say), and I did happen to read about how fast charging can degrade the battery.
So to my question:
Given that my parents don't use the car much, and they are totally fine with plugging it in at 16:00 and letting it charge till the next morning (08:00), should they just use the regular wall outlet (and avoid the 3 phase one)?
BYD did supply a regular cable which connects to a regular outlet.
Is that healthier for the battery? My parents tend to keep their cars for many years.
THANK YOU!
