If you do, you are wasting your time and the time of anytime else waiting for that charger. I’m currently sitting waiting at a DC Fast charger for 30 minutes because some guy in an ID.4 has decided to charge to 100%.

It is nearly always better to charge to 70% or 80% and stop more often. Stop fucking it up for everyone. If you don’t know, the charge rate slows down dramatically the higher the state of charge. I could have charged from 20-80 in the time this guy went from 80-100

    Sometimes it’s worth having an adult conversation.

    Knock on the window and politely say -

    “not sure if you knew this, but it takes almost twice as long to go from 80-100% than from 15-80%. What many people do is charge to 80 or 90% and then make room for the next person waiting because of how long it takes.

    Then you can say - of course if you are traveling far and there are no other chargers on your way, do what you have to do.

    Just wanted to let you know it’s considered a courtesy around chargers when there is a wait.”
