New EV tips

Could I ask another question please. I have ZS EV long range. I am aware that ideally the battery should be kept at between 20% - 80% and 100% for longer journeys. My wife is nervous about letting the battery drop to 20% for everyday use. Would it damage the battery at all if we regularly charge from say 40% to 80% to keep the battery level topped up?

Don’t worry too much just enjoy the car that’s what the BMS is for

The charging would be via 7kw home charger.

It would be fine to do this. Do a 100% every so often to balance the batteries.

I charge from 40/50% to 70/80% daily and then try and remember to do a battery balance to 100%+ every month

Don't worry let the battery work round you I charge every day sometimes 60 to 80

No problem. For the last 28 months, mine's always been somewhere between 40% and 90% charged except for its once a month 100% charge to balance the battery.
The battery health (SOH) has been at 100% up until the last charge when it first showed a drop to 99.75% SOH.

Only slightly related folks, but if anybody is interested in battery degradation, this great short ( ish ) recent video on VW ID3 maybe interesting.
Different manufacturer but easy to migrate over to other EV 's I do feel !.
