If my spouse and I both have a iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I keep mine on my charger at my desk most of the time so the battery stays near/at 100%, but my spouse doesn't charge theirs for 2 days or until they get the 'low battery warning after 48 hours... am I lying or gaslighting you? Serious question. You're welcome to the last word. Accusing people of lying is what gives BMW enthusiasts/places like this a bad rep. |

Regardless, you can substitute the phrase "zero to recommended-full-charge level" for the "0-100%" example to catch all battery types. |

What I was really driving at with the 9pm vs noon thing was being able to charge when I want without regard to cost - this will be something new that I would have to monitor or schedule so that I'm charged less due to off-peak. You also assume working first shift - if someone worked the third shift it would mean their car charged during the day during more peak-use hours. There's also the factor of being ready to leave for any emergency/on-call/family or friend use case and not just having your car sit in the garage not charging because the cost of electricity is higher. A bit off-topic so I'll leave it there, but we have more to figure out as EVs ramp up. Like it or not all, they're coming. |

Can they keep it from catching fire or turning off the AC inorder to divert energy to keeping the battery from eating itself.

I wish EVs did something for me. They just don't. I guess, end of the day, I'm a "motorhead" with motor narrowly defined as ICE. There's just something "missing" in every EV I've been in or driven. There's no denying the acceleration, it's mind melting. No denying the fuel savings, they can be big. Convenience, if you have a garage and can charge at home, also, again, difficult to deny.
But I just have no desire. My brother in law had a Taycan. I didn't even care to drive it. If it was any 911; I would have begged him for the keys and burned 1/2 a tank of fuel (if he was OK with it, of course) before I brought it back. The Taycan? I looked inside. I did a 0-60 pull. I pulled back into the driveway. I'd had enough. Not because it was bad, it was actually very good, but I just had no connection with the car. |

the recommendation to charge to 100 started when Tesla failed to read battery % from their LFPs between 80-100%. the voltage difference ws so minute between 80-100% that the car wasn't able to give an accurate state of charge giving people inaccurate range. so they recommended a weekly charge to 100% to calibrate the range meter. true story. |

people have charged Nickel battery to 100% every night, fast charge slow charge, after 160,000 miles their battery has degraded 10% people have also babied their battery only slow charging to 80% and don't le it drop below 20%, and after 30,000 miles and 3 years battery has lost 16% so it's pointless caring. do what you need to do and hope for the best. *my real life example is my new samsung phone i did the 20-80 religiously, used the lowest 5W charger only, charge every 2 days wife had new iphone she keeps it plugged 24 hrs, she seems to be scared of using battery, it is always on charge at 100%. after 2 years we compared. both phones down to 80% capacity. i was so mad at myself. samsung had a bigger battery too. |

I drove a high end Taycan. The power was absurd, the acceleration mind bending, and it handled and was finished well (a different light year compared to Tesla). It just didn't "do anything" for me. I'm not arguing I'm right, in fact, I know I'm wrong and that in 20-30 years it may be impossible to even get a "performance" ICE vehicle. I just can't understand why I'm not "into it". I like cars that go fast. I love technology. I just can't get there, none of them that I've seen or driven has moved me in the way that many ICE vehicles have. Shoot, one of my vehicles is an F450; not exactly an "exciting" ride, but I love that thing. Crawl around under it regularly making sure it's healthy and well maintained. Looking for ways to make it better and more comfortable (we use it to tow a 5th wheel and gooseneck trailers). It's not the type of car that people "love", but, I'm a car nut, and I made my 450 "special" to me and better than it was when delivered (stock Ford suspension on these trucks leaves MUCH to be desired). IDK, I'm puzzled by my non-interest. That said, if Ford ever pulls their head out of their behinds and releases a diesel electric F450, I'm buying one that day. There's no denying that electric motors pull like crazy and would make an excellent towing platform. But if it's a pure battery, no thank you; I have no use for that vehicle. |

After watching that video I'm convinced that car should be crushed and all records of its existence destroyed. Someone arrest the person responsible for creating that absolutely horrific sound pollution.
