That advice is a bit extreme. Charging to 100% right before starting a trip isn't going to cause measurable damage to the battery, especially in weather that isn't really Hot.
With "double the most range" there is NO reason to charge to 100%.
The only reason I said double was to discount winter explanations. He mentions what? 25 miles is longest trip he might take? He uses other options for anything greater. So sorry, no need to charge to full.
