They could just have those charged batteries only 75% charged.
Apparently repeatedly charging some of the EV batteries to 100% will degrade battery life, so it is recommended to only charge to 80%. so this would likely be the reality.
Looks like Tesla has now moved it up to 90%
“Repeated full charges can negatively impact li-ion battery cells, which is why Tesla recommends to only daily charge to 90% capacity and to charge to 100% only when needed for long trips.
In the past, CEO Elon Musk even recommended 80% daily “

Yeah constantly wanting the battery to be full isn't a good thing. You can look at the data from people who have severe range anxiety and plug in every night and max it out. They're the leaders in degradation.
