That describes our use case pretty well (for a 2-car household) and we’ve been quite happy with the 26K miles we put on our Nissan LEAF in MA over a coming up on 10 year period.

Charged at home >50% of the time and pre-pandemic on the 6.6kW chargers at work. I can only recall one attempt we made at a beyond single battery trip, using an EVGo DC charger at the mid-point. I can say it worked, but subsequent trips to that same location were in the ICE car, so take of that what you will.

The car is now 80+% charged at home and is a city/nearby suburb runabout (and used for more trips, albeit not more miles, than the other ICE/hybrid).

It still has about 85% of its original battery capacity, which means we charge it about once a week, which works just fine for us.

That also works for me for the second car. I also am awaiting Leaf delivery with 27k km on odo. however I did not expect battery to loose 15% of its capacity over 26k miles (which is 42kkm)

It is healthy to know how to maintain car battery. I will probably charge the battery to ~80% except when I need more range.

It’s also 10 years, which is a factor in degradation as well, not just cycles or distance.

It’s down 1 bar (of 12) and that was 2 years ago, so the 85% is estimated, but is within -0% to +4%. I have a LEAF Spy but haven’t checked it a long time.
