So to keep the charge topped up all the time is better for the battery than not basicallyJust charge it every day if it's the only car you have.... get in, plug it in. .. Not because you have to but its just a good habit

Yes that is a bugger hence why there have been allot of discussions here about tethered or no tethered.It is probably due to the fact that I don't have a tethered cable and have to get the cable out of my boot every time, not so bad when it's not raining but when it is, yes it's a faff lol
Yes, just leave home with 80% every day. Perfect.So to keep the charge topped up all the time is better for the battery than not basically
English language verb. It's like claiming an election was stolen.What is faff?
A charge cycle is 0-100% ... If you charge 80-100% 5 times = 1 cycle and so forth.... 50-100% twice = 1 cycle ....and so on...I still couldn't get over the idea that charging the car everyday is better than charge when it gets low - I thought batteries have limited number of recharge cycles before the capacity degrade? That's physics and they haven't solved it yet, right?

Totally agree with the rest of what you said ie. its less harmful to partially charge further up the to then let it drain to empty then charge all the the way up... With an ICE car you wouldn't have full range every day unless you went to the petrol station every day or had bulk bough petrol at home.Apple have been starting to address this with only charging up to 100% just before you use it, and I think the iPhone 15 even has an option to not charge beyond 80% now.

As far as apple goes, they've had the 80% thing going on for a long time now (years) as an opt in under settings, battery, battery health and charging, optimised battery charging.
That is correct and dramatically changed my charging habit of the phone.think the iPhone 15 even has an option to not charge beyond 80% now.
But iphone 15 has a new category called upto 80% on top of optimised battery charging. You have 3 choices now.80% thing going on for a long time now (years) as an opt in under settings, battery, battery health and charging, optimised battery charging.
Fair point. All of my post above considers only battery aging - but you have to balance that against your other needs as well. In my case, its also having 70 bhp less at 50% compared to at 80% .I would prefer to have the range available when needed. A half-empty tank which takes hours to fill up (or costs a fortune to do in hurry) is of little use to me....

In iOS 13, your iPhone can learn from your daily charging habits to improve the lifespan of your battery.support.apple.com
Optimised has been around for years, being able to set an 80% limit is new on the iPhone 15.
But iphone 15 has a new category called upto 80% on top of optimised battery charging. You have 3 choices now.
The optimised thing was based on the 80% limit as still described (at least on my 14). Being able to limit to 80% full stop must be indeed a new thing but does make me wonder about what the top buffer is now and what was then (compared to what they say the amount of hours the phone will last based on 100% charge).
Not something I ever worried and had issue with iPhones in the many years since they are a different usage case to let say my MacBook which is 99% of the time plugged in but I use 3rd party software to limit it to 70% charge. My previous MacBook had battery swelling after about 6 years of always being 99% permanently charged to 100% but still lasted well on battery. I changed the battery on it and it now lives on very well 9 years on with my father inlaw.
My Daughters old bmw i3 still had the same range as new at 60k miles (maybe bigger buffer to mask degradation?)
The iPhone on the other hand does not sit at 100% for very long.
