As an experienced EV owner, and battery electric specialist, there is truth in most of the posts here. If you absolutely want the best battery health in 6/10 years from now , then a regime of 20-80% AC charging is ideal. If you are a normal user then accept the few % degradation in 8 years time and just charge it to whatever. The cars Battery Management System is designed to take care of this. Ideally a monthly AC charge that goes to 100% and kept there will balance the cell voltages and optimize the range. A Rapid DC charge occasionally is good for cell chemistry optimization. My car has not had a balance charge in 9 months and is mostly Rapid charged, it is fine. Just enjoy and don't fret.
