I expect that Rivian, like most EV makers, has built in a "false floor" where 0% reported battery SoC is not actually 0% specifically to avoid damaging the battery by over-discharging it. I think you should be fine.
Don't discharge below 10% or charge above 85% are the basics for Li-on batteries in EV's.We took a trip and pulled into our destination with 2% battery remaining. Does anyone know if this low percentage damages the battery?
I believe most advise the same as Tesla. Leave plugged in to L2 set to 85% for the day to day.As an extension of this conversation, is it damaging to charge too often? If I get home with 50% left and want to top off, should I wait until I have less charge so I’m not cycling as often?
A charge cycle is not each time it charges, but rather the cumulative of the full capacity of the batteries (charging from 0-100%). So charging each day from say 50-70% is not a cycle each time, but rather it would take you 5 days to reach 1 full charge cycle.
