Regularly Charge to 100%?

[rdt7]

I'm sure this has been addressed many times but I couldn't find with my very basic search skills.

I regularly drive a trip that is at the limit of my range (I have a 2023 extended range Lariat). Should I make the trip non-stop on a 100% charge or only charge to 80% and top off? Obviously I'd love not to have to stop but I'm concerned about battery longevity. Another way of asking this, is how much do I hurt my battery by regularly charging to 100%?

Charge to 100% and drive it.

Don't charge to 100% and let it sit around around for days without driving it.

Charge to 100% just in time for the upcoming trip.

I charge to 100% almost daily for an 80 mile commute. Still going strong at 92k miles.

Yeah I’ve read this is the key - not letting it sit for days and days at 100. Same applies to low states of charge under I think 30%.
