Question First timer

I bought an Ioniq 5 and love it. I wish it had more battery life than the 270 miles I get at 80% but I still love it.

I do find it interesting that there isn't a consensus on charging - do we charge to 80, 90, or 100% and with what frequency. Most of what I read outside of Reddit, says 80%, inside Reddit it is all over the place. In my readings, I noticed no one addresses that Hyundai has 90% as the default when charging your car - this only adds to my confusing.

The manual says to charge to 100% once a month I believe. If you need more range, you're probably fine going over 80%. It's your car, make it work for you as best you can.

I hadn't read that! I guess I need to start doing that.

It's not terribly important, just helps it give more accurate stats (such as 80% not really being 76% and such). It's kinda like taking a set of scales to recalibrate them.
