I charge my 2023 AWD ID 4 90% at home and to 100% almost daily .

thats 43K miles in 13 Months driving Uber. I think at least with the IF 4 on the SKi battery we can dismiss the "dont charger to 100% " I've always charged to 100% even 3 years with my Bolt.

Probably a bit harder on the Bolt since it had no buffer/low or top end. The ID 4 has 5kW buffer . Pretty hard to hurt the battery with that much buffer charging 220v/ 7-11amps.

DCFC is another story , more like simply because you heat the battery up so much during the first 80% of charge. That said charge speeds so slow after 85% you dont want to be sitting at a DCFC anyway's , 80-85% get back on the road


Great Range

That's great! Does it sit at 100% often, or do usually drive off pretty soon?

Driving Uber , a lot of miles everyday. Keep in mind the Battery warranty is protecting the auto industry...not you. (other than te chevy bolt which has no buffer 80-90% is probabbly best (even though I charged my Bolt to 100% everyday as well ;))As long as you have a large battery buffer and charging 40amps and under at least for the ID 4 , no possible way to damage the battery filling it up. The problems occur when using DCFC , thats when you create dendrites which then damage the cells.

What is the problem with dendrites in batteries?
Lithium dendrites are formed when extra lithium ions accumulate on the anode surface and cannot be absorbed into the anode in time. They can cause short circuits and lead to catastrophic failures and even fires.Aug 24, 2020"
