0 to 100%?
You often read how long a car takes to charge from 0 to 100%, however don’t assume it’s linear! It may be accurate, but not helpful. The charging rate varies over the time plugged-in.
It builds up then plateaus. After 80% it decreases in order to protect the battery.
Do you really need to exceed 80%
Unless you really need above 80% in order to get to the next convenient location to charge it’s better to stop charging at 80%. Otherwise you could be waiting a long time to get to 100%.
Planning your route
If you’re making a long journey it’s worth planning where you’ll need to charge with least inconvenience, especially whilst many chargers are still unreliable.
