I just upgraded to a 2016 LEAF and hate charging to 100%. I leave a car for business in DC and only visit one week a month. I hate that the car might be left soaking at a full charge.
It is common knowledge that this is bad for modern battery chemistry and that Nissan removed the feature when regulators reduced the range given the recommendation to only 80% charge. My Bolt has a Hill Top Mode that only charges to 90% so you have full regen down the mountain, but everyone knows that this is the long life mode. Tesla avoids the issue by letting you charge to any amount you like and gives no recommendation.
Perhaps there is an App that can query the state of charge while plugged in and tell the car or the charger to stop charging? Is there such a thing?
