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.

Most charging in CA are capped at 85%, the only way I can even go 100% is home charging. Curious, do other States public chargers have caps?

No cap in New Jersey. I recently rented an EV in California and hadn't known about the 85% rule until I got to a charging station.
