True. Though the damage is low from hitting 100% which is part of the reason why this is a "just leave it at 100%" rather than a "hit 100% once a week".

That said, I'd probably do 90% as the max and 100% on the weekend if I owned an LFP vehicle.

The average American, buying a ~250 mile range EV, would only need to plug it in to charge once a week. Maybe twice. So, just charge it to 100% every time you charge it.
