Glad you like your 500e . my wife loves hers and she has really adapted to the one pedal drivng and I must admit I like the car and very impressed with it .one thing I have not managed to sort out is how to charge to a certain percentage as I can with my Skoda ie to 80% .any advice would be welcome

It is better to slow charge your car, I have been experimenting with the charge times and schedule. I have an electrical rate break for charging my electric cars with the Electric company. from 11pm until 7 am so my schedule is level 2 charging for 8 hrs. gets close to 80 percent charge. So experiment with times and charge levels and see what works for you.

My wife has just gone to an electric Peugeot E208. We love it! Fast, instant response and torque, instant heating and a real world range of 150 miles.

Charges really quick on ultra fast chargers, tried one the other day and in 5 minutes had added about 12% charge.

Went with Octopus at home with an Ohme charger, automatically charges at 7p per KWH overnight.

For comparison it costs about 2p a mile to run. According to the app it cost us £17 to do 1000 miles the first month we had it.

I run a Fiat Ducato Motorhome at the moment, I can’t wait for the battery range to improve and go electric for that.

Wish we had done it a few years back now.

There isn't a direct way of setting to a % charge. Bad Brad's method would be an indirect method to do this should you choose to or feel the need to. I've answered in a bit more detail here:-
