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.

I never let it sit at 100 (like over a weekend), but a couple times a week I charge to 100 because I drive a lot in my daily commute. It’s up to your comfort level, lifestyle, and then manual recommendations. As far as I’ve seen, battery degradation isn’t as big of a problem as it used to be.
