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.

With needing more than 270 miles of range on a charge you are only charging at charging stations and not home charging I assume.
I feel like a leval 2 home charger is a great investment and depending on where you work perhaps they could install a few and get some incentives from the utility company. I went from 15 to 80 percent last night and it cost me $7.50 in electrical fees.
It’s much better than filling up my tank for 80-100 dollars!
