Hello. I'm new to Leaf ownership, in fact I'm not getting my used red 2015 SV for at least another week. I'm trading from a Hyundai Genesis V8. Quite some change (though I also have a 2006 Prius).
I no longer need the Genesis since I'm now working from home instead of a long distance commute.
The Leaf will be our second car though it will see most use. Our main car is a Ford Flex for when we need to bring our 2 kids and 2 German Shepherd at the same time.
Most days the Leaf will be used to drop and pick up the kids so total daily mileage will be around 12-15 miles with longer trips of 60 mile trips planned for 2-3 times per month.
What is the best strategy for keeping the battery healthy long term?
I'm planning of setting charge to 80% and only charge at night but still charge every night.
Would it be better to set threshold lower?
Would it be better to charge only once or twice per week?
