Hey!
In two weeks, the wife and I will be going on vacation and i am wondering how I should go about charging my MY. We will be gone for a week and have the option to bring the MY or bring our other car. I can either leave the MY at home and on the charger or, I can bring the car and not be able to plug in every night. My concern is that, i normally plug in every night because I heard that it is best for the car to always be plugged in. Am I over thinking this? the charging at the resort would be non-existent but I could supercharge if we drive somewhere close by. The weather of the location will 100+ and i am thinking of arriving with a SoC of 50% ish.. I heard that this SoC was best for high heat weather. If we decide to go anywhere while on vacation, we could charge up or if the battery drains do the same. Any input on bringing the car and SoC if we do ? or is it best left at home on the charger to help the battery. I ask this question because I feel that charging habits have the biggest input on battery and with 6000+ miles on the car I still show 328 miles on 100 %, so I believe that I am doing something right. Thanks for the input!
