Hey everyone! So, I have heard it is not great to leave an EV sitting at 100% charge for too long. After picking up my car from the dealer (who charged it to 100%), I ended up driving around for a bit to try and burn off some battery before heading home. I managed to get it down to 88%, but now I am wondering if that's safe enough to leave it so for like 4 days. I won't need to use the car in the next 4 days, and normally I keep the charge capped at 80% as recommended. So, my question is, would leaving it at 88% for 4 days cause any harm to the battery long-term?
