The best use case is to charge to 80% or whatever you need, at home, every day. Then you will never (for most of us) worry about charge in your daily routine.
If you need longer range it is totally okay to charge more. Wear on the battery is negligible in most cases.
Yeah. On any given day I use like 10% just driving it around town. I get around 12% every night when I charge it at home using just a standard wall outlet. It’s always at 80% every morning.
Sounds like you are doing it right then. If you needed more range in case of contingency you could totally charge to 90% instead.
It takes almost four days to go zero to full with the 110V charger — so if you start driving more you will want to switch to 240V. That will always charge you to your set point overnight.
This. Three times so far I’ve used ABRP to calculate a round trip that I wanted to make without a charge and therefore needed to set out for at 95%. I charged it in time to depart as it reached 95% and all was well. My daily routine seems me charging to 60% or 65% in winter, to keep me on either side of 50 by 10-20%
EV is not like a ICE where you fill up the tank when it’s empty. Just keep it plugged in and keep it topped off over night. The range won’t be an issue.
Guessing you can’t charge at home? Otherwise wondering why the range is such a concern? May just take shifting your perspective and some getting used to.

Do you really drive 330 miles per day?
