Fast charging is seen as a solution for range and recharging time issues for EVs. Fast charging in cold or even cool temperatures brings the risk of lithium plating—the formation of metallic lithium that drastically reduces battery life and even results in safety hazards. C charge at 10 °C and C/1.5 —Yang et al.
