A guy at the Flagstaff charge stop told me to stop charging to 100 percent every night
I was topping off at a fast charger in Flagstaff back in April when a retired electrician parked next to me and asked why I always went to full. I said it was just habit, and he pulled up a chart on his phone showing how the top 20 percent is where the battery takes the most stress. He said he only charges his to 80 percent for daily driving and saves 100 for road trips, and his car is 5 years old with barely any range loss. I tried it for 3 months and my guess-o-meter range estimate stopped bouncing around so much. Anyone else switch to 80 percent and actually notice a difference, or am I just seeing things?
