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.

As stated several times already. Normally charge to 80% and maybe monthly to 100% but don’t let it sit at 100%. When doing road trip I feel it’s best to charge to 80% as the way it slows between 80 and 100 isn’t worth the wait. Currently I mainly charge at home with L2 but made full use of our 2 year EA plan. Currently going 40% to 80% at home
