What do you wonderful EV sages think?
I have to cover approximately 130 miles a day with work so there will be a pretty heavy load of charging going on with my MG5.
I am awaiting a Wallbox 7kW installation, along with solar and a battery.
There's a 7kW Geniepoint at work.
I'm presuming, from what I read here, that leaving it on charge overnight, every night, which would always take it to 100%, may not be that good for the battery?
Would getting an Ohme smart cable and programming it to cut off at 80% charge (I'm sure there must be a way of doing that) be safer? Or are there any other options that would ensure optimum conditions for my eV battery?
Thanks in advance!
(BTW I can't seem to 'like' posts so don't get offended if there aren't any likes from me on your replies!)
