Ev versus gas vehicles

Waiting to do my first ‘plug-in’ my banks Level 2 charger. Not certain if it matters how full my battery pack is when I charge nor if it matters if one just ‘tops it off’ instead of waiting until it is say down to 25%. Hum…can you tell I am new at this CE04 thing and have yet to even plug it in yet. So bloody hot down here in Florida I almost hate to take the doggies out for a walk at 9pm even when just walking on sidewalks and off the pavement :(

They recommend to fill between 20 to 80 % and since it's really hot in Florida I would wait that the battery cool off a bit before charging, the battery charger on the CE04 check the temperature of the battery and something wait before charging if the battery is to hot. I don't know if you have the quick charge or regular but the type 2 charger is quite fast compare to the 110 V charger.
 
I have the top end trim 2022 model that came with a charger cable for for USA 110v standard electrical plug. Dealer said an adapter 'plug' might cost like $500 +/-, said he would see what he could do to knock the price down a bit (I live in the USA). Guessing, not certain the adapter plug just lets me then plug in the cord that came with the bike into my home Dyer plug. I am at 83% so guess I need to go for a ride with the new 'tall' (lol) bmw screen that I got installed.

So does it matter if one tops off the bike when it gets to say 60 to 80% (better at lower range then 80) or better to drain the battery most times down to 20%. Don't know, guessing not, if the CE04 battery has a memory effect based on when it is charged.
Last, is it ok to charge to full or better to do a drop less (dump question maybe).
Thank you

I don't know about plug in in 220v not sure your charger onboard scooter can take it. Maybe some else can answer this one.
