[exxxviii]

90%

[LVBMW]

100%

[drbluedevil]

you mean routinely? I'd say 80% for the overwhelming majority of the time and 100% maybe once or twice ever when I anticipated a lot of driving in a day.

[Kennethjk]

80% routinely, higher if needed for a trip

[roxxor]

80% except for road trips. Not sure why, since it’s a lease, but it doesn’t impact my daily routine so i just do it to be nice to a future owner I suppose.

[NomoTesla]

50%

[Windshieldfarmer]

80%, 95% for trips.

Same.

[Tony535]

mostly 80% with some 90% charges in the winter months. Going on a trip - I leave with 100%.

[johninaustin]

80% regularly. 90-100% only for rare trips

[shoot_the_goalie]

80

[copebmw]

80

Whatever I’m at when I get actually get 30 full min at EA next to my house, which usually gets me to 75-85%. If there’s nobody waiting, I unplug and replug and get to 95-99%.

No L2 at home ($0.31-$0.62/kWh at home) so milking the free EA.

I would be very interested in the degradation of your car in a couple of years. 100% daily charging in Las Vegas which is quite hot too should be the worst thing one can do to a battery. Just curious how bad it will end up to be after 2 years or so.

On topic : i daily charge to 80% but i also own my car and did not lease it. But even with a lease i would still not go above 80% daily as i do not like to go against manufacturer's recommendations.

75% which results in 2 times a week charging. (driving it down to 20-25% before charging)
As an exception I know have driven the car down to 5% and charging it up to 90% or even maybe 100% so the BMW can better estimate real capacity

It’s not always to 100%, but the question was what’s the highest level you charge to. I basically go to whatever level I can get with the 30 minutes free EA charging. Sometimes 100% and sometimes not. So I guess it’s more like 100% semi-routinely. Definitely not daily. Vegas weather is very temperate most of the year except the summer months. A recommendation is just that - a recommendation. Typically my charging is quite shallow which is also much better for the battery than deeper charges.

80% unless road tripping then go to 100%

[LuisBoston]

90% usually.

That’s what my Polestar recommended and I got used to that. I didn’t move up to an iX to have the same range (which 80% would yield).

A lot of talk on other forums to do away with free charging. Their contention is that it takes up slots that other people need.

Of course not everyone has a private home to charge anytime they wish.

ix50si, just as an FYI - you can include a poll in your thread where people can vote.
