description A huge increase in fast−charging stations will be necessary for the transition to EVs. Nevertheless, charging a battery pack at a higher C−rate impacts its state of health, accelerating its degradation. The present paper proposes a different and innovative approach that considers the daily routine of an EV Li−ion battery based on a standard driving cycle, including charging phases when the depth of discharge is 90%. Through dynamic modeling of the EV battery system, the state of charge evolution is determined for different charging C−rates, considering both real discharging and charging current profiles. Finally, by applying a suitable post−processing procedure, aging test features are defined, each being related to a specific EV battery working mode, including charging at a particular C−rate, considering the global battery operation during its lifespan. It is demonstrated that, according to the implemented procedure, fast−charging cycles at 50 kW reduce battery lifespan by about 17% with respect to charge in a 22 kW three−phase AC column, in parity with the discharge rate. Thus, this work can provide a deep insight into the expected massive penetration of electric vehicles, providing an estimate of battery useful life based on charging conditions.
