I have been wondering about the optimal way for me to charge my battery when going on long trips.
Scenario one: Slow charge to 100% before trip. start at 100%. Drive all the way, battery ends up at 10%.
Scenario two: start at 80%. Drive until battery at 40%. Supercharged to 70%. Drive until 20%.
The point is that both scenarios require 90% battery use. The problem is that both A: super charging And B: charging to 100% (or going below 20%) put some additional strain on the battery (it’s been stated from multiple sources, including from your Elon Musk himself).
The question is. Which one of these two scenarios is best for the battery in the long run, if I had to choose one as my daily routine?
This might be a extremely esoteric question, but I agonize over these kind of silly little things!
