[QUOTE="ibismojo, post: 16623371, member: 10591"] Battery duty cycles on cars is nothing like your phone or other personal devices, unless you're the first gen Nissan Leaf, or Tesla. Pretty much every ev manufacturer reduces the actual usable capacity on car batteries. The first gen GM Volt would never let you hit a state of discharge less than 20-30%, while the fully charged state was never more than 70-80% (this was not adjustable or known to the driver....all they saw was 0 -100%, never the actual state of charge of the battery). This is how you extend the life of lithium based batteries into the decades of heavy cycles vs small devices. But that was 10 years ago and battery technology has improved, so it wouldn't be surprising if that range of usable charge has increased. Tesla will gives the owner the ability to set this range....you can get max range now and expect reduced battery life, or reduce your range and extend battery life. [/QUOTE]
