The main issue with wireless is heat, at any charging speed it produces more heat than wired charging equivalent. With that said, if your room/charging spot is well ventilated and the ambient temperature isn’t too warm to begin with, it could be negligible.

Hello fellow human from Earth! Like yourself, I too was not stranded here. Would you like to form a social bond based on other common human facts that apply to us both?

However, their mission did get extended because of Starliner. While Starliner was sitting on the ISS, it occupied the docking port, so the next crew (their relief crew, essentially) couldn’t be sent up.

Because in 3-5 years I can just press a button and magically have 100% again when I need it. It’s not the same boat at all.

The real question is why would you deliberately accelerate the degradation when you don’t need it?

Healthiest = slow charging via cable to 80% limit.

The further you stray from that the worst it is for your battery.

There might be even greater benefit limiting it to below 80, but not as significant as cutting the top end. The majority of battery damage happens at the last 10% of capacity and high heat.

I love mine. Hyundai Ioniq 5.

2 years so far and it’s been great. Wouldn’t ever go back to gas. I don’t even have a charger at home, but there is charging at work. I only need to charge it like 2 shifts per week, maybe 3 if I did a lot of driving, so it’s not hard to keep it topped off just from work. Every once in a while the work parking lot is so damn full every single day that I can’t charge there all week… So I have to suffer the inconvenience of… Going to a gas station and using their fast charger. Ugh.

Road trips take a bit more planning but I don’t go on many road trips anyway. One per year, at most.

Weekend mountain trips and camping/skiing is great, though.
