No EV charging is 100% efficient, not plug-in charging, not wireless charging, not DC Fast Charging (DCFC), not AC home charging. Regardless of how or where you charge, not all the electrical energy pulled from the grid—those watts—will make it into the “fuel tank” (battery). More info) 3. Why does battery temperature matter?
