My current employer is moving offices quite a distance. I am debating or not staying with the company based on a number of factors. One thing is due to the distance, in order to make it to the new office and back 2 days a week, I would need to charge the car to 100% especially in the winter (I am in southern Ontario) as the office does not have a charger to use.

The office is already a really significant distance from my house and I don’t want to spend an already 2 hour commute stopping at a charger on the way home.

So my real question is, is it really bad to charge to 100% twice a week or will the degradation on my battery start to worsen quicker?

    I used to do it 1x/week to 100%. I could not find (additional, non-regular age related) degradation at 45k miles.

    As long as you leave more or less as soon as it hits 100% I don’t see any real risks. I worry more about the extra distance this implies - ie, cycles on the battery.
