This is the easiest solution for the user. For many, it was necessary for 80-mile EVs. It wasn't necessary for the OP with his 80-mile EV, and will be less necessary with a 240-mile EV.
Plenty of sources indicate that Lithium batteries prefer lower states of charge. I have read/heard that the ideal is somewhere between 20-40%. From that, it would be ideal to charge to about 40%, and not charge again until it's down to 20%. But what's the difference in life between doing that and always charging to full? Nobody knows.
My MO for a Bolt would be to use the Hilltop Reserve, and plug in whenever it's convenient. I would only go to full right before a long trip (>150 miles). That seems like a good balance of being gentle on the battery and convenience to me personally.
