Some vehicle models, particularly Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) — have a default setting that limits DC fast charging to 80%.
This limit is set by the vehicle manufacturer to help protect and extend the overall lifespan of the battery. In some cases, fully electric vehicles may also apply charging limits under certain conditions.
Depending on your vehicle model, you may be able to adjust this charging limit in your vehicle settings. Please refer to your owner’s manual or contact your vehicle manufacturer to explore available customisation options.
If your vehicle stops charging at 80%, this is typically a vehicle setting rather than an issue with the charger.
