Random comment at a charging station made me rethink my battery habits

Some guy at an Electrify America spot in Denver told me I was hurting my battery by charging to 100% every day. He said keep it between 20-80% for daily driving. I changed my max charge setting in the car app. Now I only go to 100% before road trips. Anyone else get unsolicited advice that ended up being right?

Guess my battery's been living its best overcharged life.

@laura_ross Realistically most phones handle overcharging fine now, they cut off power once full. Is it really that different from normal wear and tear though?
