Doesn't this hight power risk to lower the lifespan of the battery ?<p>I heard that for this reason Renault plans to ask for a small extra fee each time a customer charges the leased battery at the maximum power (that seems to be 43kW for 90kW in Testa supercharger, 22kW being the nominal fast charge)
