I've posted my situation a few times so some people may already know as everyone's been really helpful.
It finally decided to be Winter in Buffalo. I expect the avg temperature to be somewhere between 0-20 F for the foreseeable future.
My Wife commutes 100 miles round trip. Based on what she used when the weather was more mild 40-50 I think she's going to need as much of the battery as we can use daily. I've read so much about how to precondition and properly maintain the battery for longevities sake but in order for this car to do what we bought it for it seems about 10%-95% will just about do it in place of the 25-85 we have been keeping it at.
Would this be concerning over the long haul of ownership? Or should we realize that we are going to take a loss here and have to upgrade sooner than we expected?
