Hi All, I drive my FFE about 6 miles a day. Should I still charge ever day, or is it OK to just wait and charge once a week or so?
 
I would charge the car when it drops below 40% charge. This is only good if you take a lots of short trips of 10 miles or less. This will keep the battery nearer to the midpoint of it's charge. This should also help promote longer battery life. The vehicle should be left on the charger once charging is complete. This gives the battery management system more time to cool the battery, and to equlize the charge in the cells.
