Hello everyone. My Model Y is my first electric vehicle so I am trying to better understand how the charging process should work. I read that it is best for the vehicle to stay plugged into the charger at all times - I have the Tesla J1772 charger.
My questions:
1) What is happening to the car/charger once my charging stops after it reaches the 80% limit set and the charging cable remains plugged into the vehicle? The % charged on the vehicle is staying at 80% so I would assume that there is some continuous charge that is taking place? Of should the car still be draining its battery due to Sentry and other factors and then restart the charging process automatically after it reaches a certain level?
2) Is there a certain point where I should remove the cable from the vehicle after it's been charged? For example, if I haven't driven in # of days. Or depending on weather or other conditions?
Thank you in advance. The idea of trying to manage a battery is new to me so just trying my best to maximize the longevity. Any other advice will be also greatly appreciated.
Thank you
