Charging 45e: can it be set to 80%?

Just made the switch from a Tesla to the 45e.
With my Tesla it was recommended to only charge till 80% to save battery life. At my 45e this doesn't seem possible, or am I missing something?

Based on nothing more than prejudice, but I think the way BMW manages battery is far superior to Tesla. With our I3s there is no such limit and the car itself takes care of moving charge around the cells to even out usage (batteries warranted for 100,000 miles). I would expect the same sort of thing in our 45e

What's the fine print on the warranty? I flirted with buying an Audi e-tron SUV and thought that their battery warranty was awesome until I read further and learned that the warranty did not apply until the vehicle lost half of its range within the time of the warranty period (and I don't recalls what that was).

I'm not saying that the BMW warranty is not a good one, as I don't own a hybrid or EV, just that you have to look at the warranty in its entirety.
