**if any non-U.S. 50e can do the same, we could get more data to draw a reliable conclusion

akin67 from our time with the 45e, it’s well-known that this is done to reduce full charge cycles, thus increasing battery life which is the same reason Tesla recommends users charge to 80% versus 100%.
I understand that, but why have this requirement on US vehicles but not anywhere else in the world?
