Not sure how many are aware of the latest from Tesla's battery engineers:
https://electrek.co/2017/09/01/tesla-battery-expert-recommends-daily-battery-pack-charging/
The key paragraph in that article is this:
"One of those things is not charging to a full charge too often. Repeated full charges can negatively impact li-ion battery cells, which is why Tesla recommends to only daily charge to 90% capacity and to charge to 100% only when needed for long trips."
I suspect the battery charging management microcontrollers in the Volt are optimizing charging to ensure as long a life as possible for the battery pack, but I wonder if anyone here can point me to any published papers from the Volt engineers on how they are in fact optimizing the charging?
