I've ordered an Aptera with the 40kWh battery pack and FWD. If we assume a sunny period of time with local driving only, with an average of 20 miles per day, the charge level could climb a little every day. To maximize solar gain and battery life, would it make sense to start with a 50% charge level?

@fanfare Even for the least expensive 250-mile model you can easily keep it charged at 60% with plenty of range to spare.
An average daily drive will only drop it to 44% with 110 extra miles available to spare.
For over 5.5 years I've been keeping my 100-mile BEV at 60% & even THAT leaves me with 20 extra miles left over after a 40-mile US-avg. daily drive.
