Top line: Charge before your trip, not after your trip. Here's an article that caught my eye: Enhancing electric vehicle sustainability through battery life optimal charging. Transportation Research Part B 112 (2018) 1–18 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trb.2018.03.016 The abstract: "In this...

How much does driving technique affect range (or miles per kWh)? Does hard acceleration hurt? Physics says the energy used is just the change in velocity (KE=mv^2). But does the battery lose efficiency when we place large instantaneous demands for power, versus smaller, but longer duration...
