    I take it you don’t own an EV?

    Range is always relevant. For me, my max normal range (without the very time sensitive full charge) is a day to day factor.

      And I’m an outlier in the other direction: charge to 80% and usually go a week before plugging in

        For what it’s worth, general consensus is that staying plugged in, even with just a normal outlet, is best practice. That has the battery conditioning run more aggressively, which is better for battery longevity. This isn’t like the NiCd batteries with a big memory effect if you recharge too early.

          I have read that but wonder how much of that is so that you don’t have range anxiety. My driving is usually predictable so not a big deal

            Again, it’s for battery conditioning to run more aggressively. Absolutely nothing to do with range anxiety. That’s the part that heats and cools your battery to keep it in good shape in the long run. You have nothing to gain by leaving it unplugged (of course, that’s not to say you should panic if you can’t plug in)

      You take it wrong.

      my max normal range…is a day to day factor.

      Then you’re an extreme outlier.
