Fundamentally, lithium plating is affected by the rate of ion conduction and diffusion in the electrolyte, lithium diffusion in graphite particles, and reaction kinetics at graphite surfaces. As such, a plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) cell that can withstand a 4-C charge without lithium plating at 25 °C can only allow a 1.5-C
