Here's my dilemma:
I usually travel less than 5 miles a day. If I charge my 2014 leaf to 80%, it will have to hold that charge for several weeks, or months.
I have been told that keeping a leaf charged higher than 50% for a long period is bad for the battery.
...
I think it can do better if I can limit the charging to like 45%. But I don't see a way to configure it below 80%. I can keep monitoring from time to time and cut the power when it reaches 45% - 50%.
But I have also been told that externally cutting the power or pulling the plug out before the car cuts if off is also bad for the battery.
Is there any truth to the last claim?
What do you suggest the best thing I can do in this situation?
