I looked at the impact report released by Tesla this came from and I couldn't see anything about the methodology, I have to guess this is best case (keeping change between arund 30% and 80%, never fuly charging up) which is a bit impractical I think? I don't have enough experience to know how big the scale of difference. I don't say this as a gotcha or whatever, I just wish the methodology was clear because the exact figure would be useful to know as an owner or user
They do however mention in the slides that battery age is also a factor, with batteries degrading even when not in use.

If you have a reliable place to charge (i.e. home and/or work) then it’s actually a complete non issue. For most people, you aren’t going to be driving hundreds of miles in a day and you can just plug in every day or every other day and be fine. A battery isn’t a gas tank, you don’t have to fill it all the way up, and you don’t have to make a trip to a special station to charge.
- RugnirViking 4y agois it easy to set it to not charge to 100%? a timer or something?
- brianwawok 4y agoYour app has a battery with a slider. "When should I stop charging". 98% of the time, I leave mine set at 70%. The car will charge to 70% and then stop. I generally use 20-30% of a charge during my day max. Get home, plug it in, and it's back at 70% in a few hours. When I am going on a 100+ miles daytrip, I bump my charge to 90%. When I am going on a 300+ mile trip, I bump my charge to 100% for the initial charge. Takes a few seconds, pretty simple.
- RugnirViking 4y agoneat. I like that - good functionality to have. Now we just need a similar thing for other electrical devices-as-tools
