Question for other electric vehicle drivers: outside of times when you're planning for a long trip, how low do you typically let your battery go before you charge it back up?

I'm lucky enough to charge at home—I plug in immediately, & charge to 80%, unless it's only down <5%.
That means I'm nearly always able to jump straight in & drive up to 300km without notice, unless I'm *in no state*.
For trips I'd start at 100%, be thinking about a charge at 50%, & planning to get a charge by 30%, maybe 20% 😱 Looking up locations, availability, speeds etc.
Commuting, I'd learn good spots en route, know my consumption, start at 80% & happily go to 20%.
