The best intentions to stave off battery degradation

[L-Dude]

someone posted this web site: https://testmycode.cc/. Log in using you Lucid PW and user name. Look at Field 11. Mine shows 97%.

Dang, I'm already down to 99.00000147521496!

Sounds like you have only 5000 miles on your odimeter.

AT 11k miles on my 2023 AGT I'm at 94%.
Initially, I read it was good to keep her plugged in all the time charged up to 80%
apparently that wasn't the move.
Now, I only charge once a week usually in the 25% - 80% range.

Not only Lucid, but the host of "Engineering Explained" recommends keeping an EV plugged in when not in use, as so many other technical sources.

6% degradation over the first 2-3 years is normal. The rate of degradation slows over time. I don't think keeping the car plugged in hastens the process.

I have scheduled charging set so it charges after 10:00 PM.

So I assume that charge back to 80% every night is ok?

Here is some interesting news and research: drive your car hard!

If this is indeed true I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

Stop Babying Your EV: Hard Acceleration Actually Extends Battery Life by 195K Miles

EV battery life lasts longer in real driving. Stanford’s study shows up to 38% more life—about 195,000 extra miles—than lab tests suggest

I wasn't racing officer. I was extending the life of my car's battery!
