This weird belief by everyone, including manufacturers, that a battery shouldnt be charged to 100% is surely a strange one. we’ve all been driving cars with 12v batteries for quite a long time, but we’ve never been told to keep it at 9.6v for battery health, and they regularly charge at an estimated 14.4v. Have a read of this article, they do some good research into EV cultures, myths and facts

Alsoi in regards to running costs that have been mentioned a few times, Which! done a fairly comprehensive study earlier this year which is quite a good comparison tool between ICE and EV, it’s quite unbiased and presents a fair picture on price parity and the like
