I will be 84 this year. Except for several corrected orthopedic issues, I’m still healthy, and based on family history, I could last another 10 years until age 94 or longer. By that point my kids will probably take away my smartphone/key, or at least remove the Tesla App from my phone. Even then, my wife, kids, or grandkids will probably be willing to drive me, so we may be using our Tesla even longer than that.
My Tesla Model 3 Long Range was purchased on October 19, 2019, which means that as I write this article today, I have reached the 4-year anniversary of owning my Tesla. My odometer now reads 124,337 miles. How can I best ensure that my Model 3 will reach itsanniversary? I will be at ~400,000 miles if I keep driving at my current rate. We commute 3000 miles round trip from our winter home in Northern Utah to our summer home in Northern Wisconsin and back every year.
However, I don’t want to have to spend ~$15,000 to replace the expensive battery on my EV. We have been instructed by Tesla to not charge the battery above 80% or let it go below 20% if we want maximum battery life. I’ve done this religiously at home. Also, I rarely charge above 80% on cross-country trips because charging above 80% is so slow. Before I leave for a long first leg on a cross-country trip, and rarely when the distance between chargers is above 120 miles, I will charge to 90%.
However, if my mileage driven on a given day is only 40 miles or less, I could recover that charge overnight at a rate of 4 miles/hour on a 110V trickle charge. Would that increase the life of my battery? I’ve seen some reports that say that would actually decrease the life of the battery. However, that would go against the Battery University guidance. In northern Utah where I have an L2 charger, I could plug my Tesla Mobile Connector into 110 V.
