Charging Concerns with My Mini SE

[wasp9166]

I've been driving my new (used) 2022 MINI SE for about a week now. I'm wondering if it's cool to charge the battery up to 100% every day? I keep hearing about that 20-80% rule for EVs, but I haven't found any mention of it in the manual. Would sticking to 80% be better for the battery's lifespan? And is there a way to set a charge limit on this thing?

Personally, it's a preference. I charge mine up to 100% everyday since batteries tend to degrade in the long run anyways. But just make sure that when it reaches 20%, you'll charge it right away.
