One of the points:
A) Charge to only 75-80% (unless you're going on a long trip), and plug it in every day when you get home from work (or at the end of the day).

Actually a plug in hybrid is hopefully what you meant
I think that’s the only true alternative to a full on EV
You get all the benefits of short distance EV commutes like to work and back without the perceived range anxiety of true EVs

Thanks for posting this, I'm going to try and follow this advice for my model Y - charge to 75% and charge every day
Actually, when I first got the car about a year ago, I went through some of Tesla's educational Zooms (getting to know your Tesla, etc) and I remember in those presentations that they recommended plugging in every day and charging to 90%
At some point in the past year, my Tesla app stopped recommending a 90% charge limit and, instead, bumped it down to 80%
I bumped it back up to 90% and have been charging to that level but now will bump it down to 75% and see how it goes
In the past year I've noticed about a 10 mile drop in my range, hopefully following this advice will slow down that degradation
Thanks again

Almost went a whole day without an EV post.
Only charge your battery to 80%. Don't let it go below 20%. This means your range is 60% of the rating manufacturer's rating, Minus another 3% for driving at 70 mph, and another 4% when the temp is below 30 F. Don't forget to reserve 10% for going out of your way to find a working charger. This means for typical daily use, you can only expect a maximum of about 110 miles range.

Loved my Volt PHEV for this very reason. My son is happily using it for his daily commute, only using gas when driving to a different city.
