So let me preface that I'm a newbie to the MY and EV driving in general so appreciate some patience here...
My daily driving is pretty limited and typically averages ~30 miles since I work remotely (even before COVID). So far, I can charge at Level 1 and easily get 60-80 miles during the time between school drop off/pick up, short errands, and overnight. For longer range/rapid charging, supercharger stations are easily accessible.
My house is older and the garage has a basement, crawlspace, slab, and plaster walls between it and the breaker so installing level 2 charging will be challenging and expensive I'm sure. I wanted to give some time with the level 1 charging before upgrading but so far it's been just fine.
Q: Is there any impact to the battery long term charging at Level 1? What is the optimal range to charge to for low daily mileage (I'm currently set to 80%)?
