    For what it’s worth, general consensus is that staying plugged in, even with just a normal outlet, is best practice. That has the battery conditioning run more aggressively, which is better for battery longevity. This isn’t like the NiCd batteries with a big memory effect if you recharge too early.

      I have read that but wonder how much of that is so that you don’t have range anxiety. My driving is usually predictable so not a big deal

        Again, it’s for battery conditioning to run more aggressively. Absolutely nothing to do with range anxiety. That’s the part that heats and cools your battery to keep it in good shape in the long run. You have nothing to gain by leaving it unplugged (of course, that’s not to say you should panic if you can’t plug in)
