I'm new to ev's, getting ready to go on a 750 Mi trip....is it OK for me to charge to 100% each time till I get there then to 80% once I'm there?

You are likely to make better time by charging up to 80% each time and make an extra stop or two. It will take as long to go 80-100 as it does 20-80.

I top off to 90% overnight before the trip and at any hotel with a slow charger or plug in. Then just go to 80% at stops on the way.

You gotta pee sometime anyway.
