Just picked up my new 2021 Nissan Leaf with 62kWh battery and trying to get my head round the charging. We don't commute the same distance every day so our mileage is irregular. Best approach I've thought of so far to charge to 80% most of the time is to wait until the battery is down to around 40% and then charge it overnight using the charging timer. To avoid having to adjust the timer every day I was just going to leave it set to give about 40% charge every day, and then if I plug the car in overnight it gets a charge, and if I don't plug it in it doesn't.
It does feel a bit clunky - maybe I was being a bit naive in thinking you could just plug it in each night and the car would sort out the charging itself? Any better ways to do it out there?
