RE: This is why solar+battery is such a good idea

in #blog7 years ago

Tesla recommend only charging to 100% when you need the extra range otherwise it just puts undue strain on the batteries (and could lead to reducing the overall lifetime of the batteries). Also when the batteries are at or near 100% the car can't do regenerative braking and it makes the driving experience very different, you get used to one pedal driving and when it's not there it feels weird :)

I always thought a full charge and full discharge cycle is best practice for battery...ofcourse Tesla knows what works best for their tech.
