Huh? The car isn't doing that for you? Prius hybrids sure are (the old ones using NiMH batteries tried to keep charge between 40% and 80%).

A hybrid can do that by running the ICE (or not).

An EV can do that how exactly, refusing to run? Mugging the elderly for loose kWh?

		Wow your phone and laptop have a feature which makes the battery never run out? The wonders never cease.

Well, stopping the car at 40% (20% for Li-ion) capacity or alternatively at 0% with dead batteries, I know what I prefer (ideally there would be an option for emergencies, perhaps disabled in rental cars ;-} .
