First, every EV battery already has excess capacity you can't charge up. Second, Nissan tried having the Leaf default to 85%. But they got in trouble for claim

First, every EV battery already has excess capacity you can't charge up.
Second, Nissan tried having the Leaf default to 85%. But they got in trouble for claiming more range than they should. The government rates the capacity in the default configuration.
- sokoloff 6y agoThere’s no reason you couldn’t have the default be 90% of whatever you thought was safe and allow 11% over rated on occasion by explicit user selection. It’d be like packing an extra gallon or two into your gas tank after the dispenser clicks off.
- saagarjha 6y agoThis was annoying because now my Leaf charges to 100% all the time, even when I never need to do that…
