Charging past 80% is a waste of time. The fuller the battery the slower it charges. It’s much faster to stop twice to charge half of the battery than to stop on

- joshuanapoli 3y agoAh, but charge to 100% gave us time for a quick lunch while charging on road trips. Now slackers like me don’t have enough time to finish before we need to come back and move the car.
- whatareyousure 3y agoIt depends on the situation as usual. When I'm charging the day before to start with 100%, it makes a lot of sense.
- lelag 3y agoIt depends on your battery capacity. With a 50-60kwh battery, you will get less than 200 km from 80% to 20% at highway speed, which could render necessary to charge to 100% to get safely to the next charger in a situation where the charging network is not dense enough.
