You're so very wrong. You're suggesting how to potentially wear-out and overcharge li-ion battery tech, not improve it. https://batteryuniversity.com/index.php/

- davidgould 8y agoTeslas by default do not charge to 100% unless you set "trip mode", so it is fine to plug in and charge anytime. Also, the car will use shore power for heat and battery conditioning even if it does not need more charge.
- MertsA 8y agoHe's spot on. Tesla vehicles heat up a cold battery pack when charging and IIRC Tesla suggests an upper charge limit of 80% for daily driving to minimize any additional wear from keeping it at a high state of charge all the time. The best approach is to plug it in and have it only charge to 80% and leave thermal management to the car, it will heat up the pack if it needs it instead of just charging it cold.
- jve 8y agoIt even heats battery even unplugged. Thus draining those miles at night. Tesla really does good job to keep the battery in shape. https://electrek.co/2018/04/14/tesla-battery-degradation-data/ https://electrek.co/2018/04/14/tesla-battery-degradation-dat...
