    It won’t damage it and it won’t take 29 hours unless you drive it down to 0% and want to wait for it to get back to 100% which isn’t realistic…. instead plug it in to charge when you get home or when you know you’ll need the range to go somewhere ? Try not to charge it if it’s already showing 90% or higher if you want to protect the battery

    BUT, try and charge up to 100% once a month or so, but don’t leave it at 100% for too long
