What are your EV charging habits? (beehaw.org)

I mostly charge up at home (240V receptacle and L2 EVSE), and I limited my charge to stop at 80%. I've heard competing ideas about if that's really necessary, but I usually drive <50mi each day, so I figured I don't need to full range anyway. When we're planning to take a trip or something with the car, I will charge fully the night before.

I charge on L1 (AC at ~1800W) at home most of the time, when it goes below 40% I charge to 80%. I don't drive much so I have to plug it in about once a week. I charge to 100% before a long trip and top up with fast DC charging to complete the trip
