Complicated. Where is this draining done? And I would guess there are hidden, surprising unintended consequences. And maybe a limit to how many drainages can be done.
and “....an hour behind the wheel each day, so resting a car battery for several hours isn’t out of the question.”
How can people remember to do that and have the energy and time to do that every day?
“I’d like to go to the club but I just started resting my lithium batteries in the EV so I’m stuck here.”

Watch out - here comes the state mandated Sabbath.

This article is proposing a way to improve a different battery technology (Lithium-metal) which is not now useful for EVs because it loses capacity too quickly.
So, take two weeks off per month and don’t drive to work in your electric vehicle. That will extend the life of your EV battery. (Your boss might have a problem with your extended “resting” status).
Better yet, leave the EV “resting” at the car dealership when you refuse to buy something so ridiculously overpriced and impractical.
That will greatly extend its useful life.
It’s the same principle as never using your hammer or pliers to keep them shiny and new for possible future use.
Where do these “brilliant” minds find such solutions?

You said dead...it had to be dead...how do you do that at work? Or even home?
It just isn’t practical...this whole ev thing is the PITS...[Pie In The Sky wishing]
hmmm...I let one go completely dead and it would charge after that. I thought it was recommended never to let them go dead.
These manufacturers cant even get our cell phone batteries to hold a charge for 24 hours, and we still buy them and carry them like programmed drones. But an electric car? No thanks! Ive been playing with battery charted toys since I was a kid, they never last and batteries were too expensive to buy.
Looks like nothing changed.
