Simple rule of thumb is to keep your EV battery SOC in the range between 20 and 80%, ideal being around 40% SOC for long term storage, like you did over winter.
You should also balance your battery cells once in a while by charging to 100% SOC. If you tend not go below SOC 40% then I would say once per two months is enough. When daily discharging below SOC 20% then once per week it is good to fully charge the battery to 100% and therefore do complete cell rebalancing.
I agree. My point: why is this advice is not in the user manuals? All sales people should know this also. They don't! My ebike manual is more useful on this topic.
