After a lot of reading on the forum about charging to 80%, I'm thinking of giving it a shot. It should more than cover my needs, from what I've experienced so far. So, my question is, doesn't a leaf complete a charge from 60%-80% faster than from 80% to 100%? Or to take it a step further, does it charge faster from 20% to 80% than from 40% to 100%? Also, does it use the same amount electricity to gain 1% at any SOC or is charging more efficient below 80%? Does anyone have any time studies? Also, I believe I read that above 80% it doesn't regen as well as it does below 80%, is this true? I guess I've made the assumption that charging to 80% is the most efficient way to operate a Leaf (all other factor equal), is my assumption correct?
