None of this is as important as charging cycles. Let say I charge only to 60% daily and it will be take 6 000 cycles before I see 10% battery degradation. That could be as much as 20 years. However if I charge to 90% and I can go three days between charges then my battery can only go 2,000 cycles to 10% degradation. Guess what, that is still 20 years.
It depends on the car, the battery chemistry, and how the BMS is designed. You may be right about Teslas, but you're wrong about the BMW i3 which you can charge to 100% any time, and actually benefits [by doing cell balancing] being left on AC charge when at 100%. This information from people who spoke to BMW engineers during a factory tour in Germany.
Charge overnight to 60% only ... and if you're leaving the car for a few days too leave it at 60% only **** NO HIGHER !!!! Ie while you're waiting overnight never go higher than 60 % ... then next day you go out needing100% ...ok .. charge it to 100% .... then.. try to come back at 35% to 40% don't go below 30% so therefore you only charging between 40 and 60% for the majority of the life of the battery, never drop below 20% too ... and always preconditioning batteries on cold days under 14°C. You do this in your batt will last 700,000 km not 300,000 km .... look it simple batteries don't like to hold their breath at 100% is not good for cracks formed by this in electrolytes and overtime will degradate your battery life and capacity 3 to 4 times times faster ...
@@johnbb99 Any Lithium battery NMC / LFP doesn't matter would longest last used while around 50%. So 40-60% yields longer life than 30-70 and that is longer than 20-80% etc. Tesla recommends LFPs be charged to 100% occasionally to make sure cells stay calibrated and balanced among each other and hence the car won't run out of charge because a single cell has been totally depleted (the LFP battery packs have very long life (X3 of NMCs) even under this usage conditions anyway)... I will post a schematic about this if youtube allows me to da so... Bestest
Hello EVL, due to a medical condition that prevented me from using my original voice with you I used AI voice to share my voice however the content is written by myself , you can find more info about the topic in this blog post : electricvehicleslovers.com/should-i-charge-my-ev-to-80-or-90-explained/
It'd be great if you had actual data demonstrate these assertions.

whoever told you that!!! Rubbish. not even true for a tesla.

Nonsense. LFP batteries need to be charged to 100%
