There are very interesting charts on that page. We live where a lot of what we need is within walking or driving distance, so we don't drive much. To avoid battery degradation, I've been trying to keep the car at no more than 70% SOC. According to the charts, I've been doing it wrong. The second chart especially shows surprisingly low degradation at 0% *indicated* SOC. I'm not about to leave the car at 0% though. It looks like the "sweet spot" is maybe 30-55% SOC, lower than I thought. Degradation rate is higher and rather flat between 60% and 100%, which I also didn't expect. In fact one chart actually shows *higher* degradation at 60% than at 100%. Do any lithium battery experts here have thoughts on this?
