Depending on what sources you believe, if you charge the battery as slowly as you conveniently can and keep it in the 20%-80% charged range it will significantly prolong battery life. Not sure if that's true but if I had gotten the EV I was considering I planned to test the theory.

This is a widely respected theory in the EV world. Then again, there's a fleet of Teslas that do airport runs near Gatwick here, three of them are on 300,000 ish miles on thier original batteries and are apparently on 84% capacity still. Unless faulty, batteries should outlive the car itself.
