Theoretically there's linger lifetime if not discharged below 20 percent or charged more than 80. Percent. Did the manufacturer do that for you behind the scenes? I usually don't recharge unless I'm really low if I don't expect to go too far the next day, but for Sunday it has a full charge, and after I get home, I fill it up again for the week. J K 2015 smart ev still shows 82 miles range in summer and 74 today, as good as new.
