Well I can see on the app when it's balancing. And it is a fact that NMC battery packs can balance at SOC below 100% .

It is right. The cells can be balanced to a soc below 100% . My MG 4 Trophy balances at 80% or 90% . Definitely 100% right.

It will also balance at soc below 100% . 60, 70, 80 ,90. Will balance if set limit is reached and charger still left on.

I don't think this will be balanced at all. I would assume as it is a public charger that it will stop charging at 100% . To balance it needs to be on a "dumb" charger that will carry on a supply after the soc is reached. This allows the car to pull a very low rate of charge "100 to 300 watts"...

It doesn't need to be 100% to balance. If for instance you set the charge limit to 80% once it reaches 80% and is left plugged in and charging then it will carry on at very low power draw and balance all the cells to the same voltage but at 80% soc. It is recommended to balance at 100% once...

Yes your range reduces in colder temperatures.

I was more just emphasising brakes applied to car not the source of the brakes.

I believe when you stop in traffic you should always engage neutral and apply the handbrake (or auto hold ) . Worked for me for over forty years and never worn a clutch out .(In the days before EV's).
