Probably more of an academic question to which there is no supporting data.
What is less stressful on the battery pack: running down to single digits or a brief supercharging session to stay above 30% SOC?
We took a trip totaling 270 miles in our LR RWD. We started the trip at 90% SOC. We could have made it home with around 5% SOC remaining. I chose to make a 12-minute stop at a Supercharger about 85 miles from home. Arrived at the SC with 32% SOC and left at 65% SOC. We arrived home with 38% SOC.
Despite all freeway driving mostly between 65 and 70 mph, I could have gone 303 miles on our 90% charge. Still amazed at the efficiency of the LR RWD. Ended the trip at 223 Wh/mi.
