Similar to our scheme, though I'd prefer to hit 100% more often than that. I've read that a 100% charge gives the BMS a chance to balance the cells and calibrate the charge meter or "guessometer." Lately, we've been trying to stay in the 20-55% range. It was 20-70% for a while, but I've recently seen data showing that depreciation accelerates quickly above 55%. We charge to 100% the night before we leave on a trip that we expect to use something close to 40%. I guess that using such a narrow SOC range would be more of a challenge with an EV that had limited range, but most of today's EVs have plenty.
