I think the minimum is 30%, which is where I set it. Most of my daily driving is under battery power.

Mine set at 80%. Will lowering it to ~30% give me more ep range. It’s not real clear in the guide.

It depends upon how and where you drive. I personally think that the only time to use battery control is if you are going to be in a location where an ICE is prohibited or you need the battery capacity to climatize your car. Otherwise your car is smart enough to figure out how to mix and match.
