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

    I concur. The charging curve from 80% to 100% is so much slower that it’s rarely worth the wait. Obviously there are times where it’s necessary if the lack of charging infrastructure down the road requires it but, in most cases, charge to 80% and move along.

      There are times when it’s necessary and those times are most commonly found right around now with travel, etc
