Sorry guys, maybe has been discussed previously but close to getting a GTS. Simple question to more experience owners, why not charge to 85% and not to 100% every time? Hear me out, on other cars (or electronic devices per se) like Tesla you dont want charge to 100% every time to preserve the battery, HOWEVER, Tesla allows you to use 100% of the battery capacity. On the Taycan only roughly 90% is available to the driver (dont have the exact numbers), remaining 10% are a buffer locked by Porsche.
That begs the question, even if you charge to 100% you never actually charge the battery capacity technically to 100% but only 90%. So why the caution?
If anyone is wondering why ask this question… live close to an EA charger and would charge the car for free…makes more sense to charge to 100% to have less trips to the charger.
