To be fair that is exactly what I did with my 2017 Nissan Leaf. Charged to 100% every night and after 66,000 miles and 4 years of use the battery still had all 12 bars.
However this is the official guidance from the Kia manual.
There is no evidence that these urban charging myths have any basis in fact on the latest EVs with better battery management systems.
Any suggestions in the vehicle handbook are provided entirely to reduce any possibility of a battery warranty claim and I would question the need to buy an EV with a larger battery than you need and only using 60% of it.
Even the advice not to leave the battery at a vey low or high level for a long period is probably not applicable due to the buffers at top and bottom. Again.where is the evidence to back up this advice?
Agree with FarmerGiles. In any case at what temperatures is the advice applicable?
