I don't have a home charger, so I have to take advantage of public charger.I'm curious why you would want to set max charge at a DC charger to 85%? Do you have one at home? Are you using it on a nightly basis?
There is absolutely no worries about charging your battery to 100% as long as you are going to drive it off. (I believe consensus currently recommends driving it off "within 24 hrs"). You are NOT going to damage your battery by charging it to 100%. That is exactly why you have 100% to work with! Otherwise, what's the point?
(Not that I'm suggesting this, but there is even some debate that you could even charge your battery to 100% every night and not notice an appreciable decrease in range for a very long time. Porsche is only letting you use about 90% of the total battery capacity in any case. 93.4KW capacity but only 83.7KW usable.)
Why are you worried about charging to 100% at a DC charger?
