I've seen different advice about charging EVs to 100%. Some people say it's bad, while others, like BMW and Mini, say it's okay. I'm curious to hear what other people think.

I always charge to 100%, but I don't let it sit there all day. I usually charge it at night and use it the next day. No problems with the battery so far.
 
Mini doesn't give you the option to set a max charge like other brands do, and honestly, the range isn't all that impressive to begin with. So, I just end up charging it to 100% most of the time.
 
Charging your EV to 100% every now and then is totally fine, esp if you're gearing up for a long road trip. But if you’re always maxing it out; it can put some extra stress on the battery in the long run.
