If your daily driver is an EV and you only travel short distances then you may be overcharging your battery. By reducing your maximum state of charge you can add many years to the life to your ternary lithium ion battery.

Notes:
This information applies to ternary lithium (MNC) chemistry only, not lithium iron phosphate
Slow (home) charging should be used to top up your battery each day
High speed chargers will shorten battery life and should only be used on long journeys
A DST cycle is not the same as a “cycle” for calculating battery life. For example, discharging from 75% to 65% ten times is equivalent to one full cycling of the battery, when referencing the manufacturer’s data sheet.
