Premature range loss

BlueKonaEV said:
Based on this chart, I have started to charge every other day when the battery is down to about 60 percent and I charge to 80%.. I will only charge to 100% if I'm planning a longer trip.. Charging to 80% is giving me plenty of range, even if I do any extra trips. Hopefully, my battery will last long.

Yes, I will go to 40-50% before boosting up to 80-90% . Depending on what I need for range. Today, I purposely started with a lower SOC, ran down to 34% to warm the battery up, charged to 85% on DCFC for a short road trip.

For almost the entire last week, I charged every night from about 60 to 80 percent except for Friday. On Friday, I drove a total of 200 miles and was down to 17 percent when I got back home. Yesterday, I went on a longer trip too (trip to the beach - 120 mile round trip) but I did charge near the beach at a free DC fast charger.. Juice at 50 kw rate for free.. Can't beat that. That's the only FREE DC fast charger in the area.. Actually charged up to 85% as it's hard to turn away free juice.. Coming Thursday, I will be charging to 100% as I'm driving to Ft. Lauderdale. On my route, there are no DC fast chargers until Fort Lauderdale and it's about 210 miles from my house to the first fast charger in the Fort Lauderdale area.
