Morning,
I have a 2016 SV My commute is 62 miles round trip. I easily make the trip on a single charge. I'm looking for feedback on whether its better for the battery to charge at my work stop or to let it sit and then charge at home in the evening. I am using the trickle charger mostly and the occasional L2 or L3 when needed. If I charge at work I will get enough to cover my trip one way in 8 hours. If I don't the evening charge will cover most of the round trip but in several days require a faster charge session to get the levels back up. If I run errands then depending on the distance, I can still make it home on the evening charge. Then it would require a couple of hours on L2 to get to a point where my home charge will get me set for the next day.
So the question. Is it better to have the system always either charging or running or is sitting for 8 hours or so at 50-60% ok?
I have Leaf Spy. Great app by the way.
Thanks
