So we live in the Great White North and my commute to work is a little over 100 miles. Add in trips to swimming, gymnastics, grocery etc and i typically end up using 55% of the battery daily. (SR+). I have access to 6KW charging at work which costs more or less the same as charging at home.
Given this scenario what levels should i ideally charge the vehicle
1) 80% in the morning and arrive home at 25% SOC before plugging it on.
2) 90% in the morning and arrive home at 35% SOC before plugging it on.
3) Charge to 70% at home and charge at work and then arrive home at approximately 40-50% SOC
4) Something else
Also, should i change this schedule depending on the season (winter, summer (i will use about 5-10%) less range in summer.
Based on current usage i will drive about 40,000kms a year (25,000 miles) and the battery warranty will expire in around 4 years and i want to keep the vehicle for around 10-12 years/400,000 kms (Kept most of my ICE cars around 350K) so am looking for a charging strategy to minimize battery degradation.
Thanks.
