The key difference for you and me is that LFP batteries can be charged to 100% each day, whereas lithium-ion batteries are recommended to be set to between 80% and 90% to avoid faster degradation of your battery.
Tesla has now updated it's recommendations that it's LFP can be safely charged to 100% without degradation.
You have to charge LFP batteries very regularly to 100% to keep the BMS calibrated. The voltage changes in LFP are smaller and thus require more frequent calibration. If this wasn’t the case I’m pretty sure the recommendation for daily charging would be lower. Still due to the higher cycle life the degradation from the 100% charging is unlikely to cause issues.
I hope you now charge your MG ZSEV to
100%
