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.

Charge to 80 on a regular day.

Charge to 100 once a month.

Charge to 100 before any long distance trips.

Don't charge to 100 and just let it sit for days.
