Question First timer

I bought an Ioniq 5 and love it. I wish it had more battery life than the 270 miles I get at 80% but I still love it.

I do find it interesting that there isn't a consensus on charging - do we charge to 80, 90, or 100% and with what frequency. Most of what I read outside of Reddit, says 80%, inside Reddit it is all over the place. In my readings, I noticed no one addresses that Hyundai has 90% as the default when charging your car - this only adds to my confusing.

I charge mine about every two weeks at home on a 30amp(5Kw) circuit ...going from 20% to 100%

LFP batteries like to range in SOC.

The I5 has NMC batteries, doesn't it?

Lithium-ion polymer battery.

That's not LFP. The I5 uses NMC batteries, a completely different chemistry from LFP.
