Hi, looking for your perspective on convenience charging and long term battery health.
My question,
At my work I have a level 1 charging station I can use. I typically work 1 24 hour shift on a week and am thinking of plugging in for that entire shift. Would I be ruining the long term health of the battery if I am charging even when the battery is at say 50 percent capacity?
Also, what if I charged at the level 1 every shift I go to work, for 40 hours per week? Is this smart or detrimental?

Level 1 charging is like a gnat. Car could care less. Charge anytime you from any percentage up to 90%.

Would this be the same for level 2, or no?

Charge to 90% any time you want to. We plug in all the time. Car basically is in the garage at 90% anytime it's not being driven. Manual tells you this.
