Charging to full capacity

My perspective differs little. I believe that a hundred percent capacity is sometimes a historical need for LFP batteries at now.
Based on my observations of several presentations on EV batteries, it is advisable to maintain a number below 75% for the sake of lifespan.
I typically charge to 70% most of the time, and when I want a wider range, I charge to 100%. This seems to extend the battery's longevity, particularly after its use in the electric car. Research indicates that consistently charging to 100% may have adverse long-term consequences on the battery; nevertheless, the vehicle is likely to succumb to rust before these battery concerns arise.

One aspect to contemplate here?
Do you intend to retain the vehicle for over eight years?
If not, refrain from excessive contemplation. Provided you remain within the battery warranty term, unless you exceed 100,000 miles.(uncertain on precise miles)


Include instances of 10-year-old Leafs or Souls that maintain a satisfactory battery percentage after a decade without thermal control.

Concerns about battery life are of little priority.

I consistently charge to 100% to avoid being unprepared for an unexpected adventure that need full range. I assert that the battery management mechanism preserves a buffer to prevent overcharging. If charging to 100% posed a significant risk, Kia would have implemented measures to proactively alert us.
