Two questions:
1. Why has Mercedes chosen a very large battery buffer (13.8 kwh), which is significantly larger than other manufactureres' buffers?
2. If one wishes to hold charging to 80% of the EQA's actual 79.8 battery capacity, the usable charge is about 64 kwh. If one holds to 80 percent of the advertised 66 usable capacity, the usable charge is about 53 kwh. The difference is a considerable 11 kwh!
Will some wise person tell me why I should not charge to 64 kwh, based on the above, rather than the very conservative 53 kwh?
