EV6: Is this a good thing to do to maximise long term battery life?

It's better for battery longevity to charge 10% min to 80% max than it is 20% min to 90% max. Me, I tend to keep the charge between 30 and 70% in my e-niro
Prove that statement!

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?
