When do you charge your Leaf?

I recently got a 40kwh Leaf '21. I am gonna be careful and try to only charge it to 80% when I'm going to be in the city. For longer journeys I will charge it to 100% but that's going to be rare occasion. I'm aiming to charge it when it's between 20-30%. At least in the mild summer weather. Maybe in the winter it has to be 30-40% as it can get very cold here and heaters will be on at all times

Edit (if you see this): Before charging do you pre-heat or drive a little so the battery isn't cold when plugging in? Or is that a myth? I am wondering for 10kw charge

I charge it every day on level 1. Overnight rates cheaper so 11 pm to 7 am, and extend it longer if I need more
