I accidentally charged to 95%. Is it bad if I leave it at that stage all night and day?

I was messing around with the little slider earlier and accidentally left it at 95%. It’s currently charged to 95% and has been there for a few hours. I have since lowered it back down to what it usually is.

Do I need to go drive the car to discharge it? Will leaving it at 95% overnight and tomorrow cause issues?

No worries. Just enjoy your car.

one time thing is no issue.. relax, nothing to worry about.

Ok thanks everyone! I was running the ac trying to lower it from bed and realize it was going to take hours to impact the SOC doing it that way.

you'd have more luck draining the battery running the heater on max... but it's unnecessary

Yeah, nothing to worry about. However, if you’re really worried about it damaging the battery, you can trade me straight-up for my wife’s minivan. It even comes with tons of graham cracker crumbs mashed into the carpet.

Horrible, go out for a midnight drive. You are going to loose 0.05% of battery capacity.

Absolutely nothing to worry about. Sure, long-term you want to only charge to 70-80% most of the time to maximum battery life, but the odd charge even to 100% is just fine .. the car wont explode.

If it were me...I'd go for a joyride! Not that I need an excuse to drive my car!

I charge to 100% 3-4 times a week. No issue at all.
