MY is almost 16 months old and has over 70,000 miles. I'm fortunate it still charges to almost 300 miles
It gets driven about a 1,000 miles a week for work. and also a lot of driving on vacations(3,000 MILES last week off)
Yesterday I left home with about 97%288miles and got home with 0% 0miles. It was near freezing with lots of heavy rain.
I acknowledge that charging to 100% is not preferable with the nickel based pack in this 2020 MY LR
That being said, its nice to get to work and back without charging,
I normally charge to 90% and now that we are in the winter when I wakeup I'll slide up to 95 or 98% to get some extra charge before I leave for work and precondition the car if its cold. I had my first close call running out of energy a month ago and had to turtle crawl the last mile or two home. I would like to avoid this in the future, it may well have put strain on the battery getting to such a low state of charge.
When I bought the car I accepted that there would be some days with extreme weather where a charge on the way home may be necessary.
I also expected that after 4 or 5 years the pack would reach a level of degradation where I may need to charge every day in the winter...
I'm considering charging to 95% now for winter days where freezing temps are expected...
and 100% if extreme cold or precipitation expected.
Looking for more input and tips - I'd rather not have to follow the weather as closely and adjust my charging day to day hehe
I should add I leave for work around 2AM on the average day and get home around 1:30-2PM M-F
I should also add it is no longer on stock tires, and the tire switch did have an impact on efficiency, loosing a decent 5-10% with the Michelin Pilot sport all season 4, this loss in efficiency on top of winter losses are definitely stacking against me.
