Recycling when EV batteries get down to 80%-of-range level can be tricky. But there’s no necessity if there are many immediate uses for batteries that are ‘down’ to 240 instead of 300.

    80% is often considered standard for battery warranty. If a Mac goes under 80% in fewer than 1000 cycles, the service toolkit considers it a failure - back when I had access to pirated Apple Service Toolkit anyway. The old version for pre 2015 laptops.

    I imagine it’s similar with cars. They can’t promise you retain 100% health for 8 years so they probably have some set percentage. Maybe it’s also 80%?
