    Question on miles per Kw

    I reset my Miles per Kw trip meter every time I charge. That way I can see the average miles per kw between charge sessions. If I use A/C, is that power consumption calculated in the miles per Kw average? If I take the miles driven, and divide that by the average, that gives me total Kwh used...

    Should I charge to 80% daily?

    So I'm reading set charge to 80% vs 100% to extend battery capacity life. Would it be better to charge every day to 80% vs going all the way to 100%? If I charge to 100%, I can make 2 RT's to work with out charging. So that is an every other day charge. If I only charge to 80%, I'll need to...
