I was planning on just charging based on the timeI wanted to spend at a charger (e.g. outside shopping / food / or just to take a break). Especially initially, I'm not going to leap into long road trips with this thing where time or sense of urgency is a factor.This subject gets a lot of discussion only in part because a lot of us geek out on the technical details. More importantly, we like to have a basic understanding of the factors impacting charging time as it allows for better time management. In other words, it allows us to avoid sitting at a charging station for excessive amounts of time when the vehicle really isn't adding much charge. EVs are not like ICE vehicles where you will charge to 100% at every pit stop on a road trip (unless you like to waste significant amounts of time) so it's important to know what charging strategy will work best (ie, get you to your destination in the shortest elapsed time).
I just want to drive the thing and will look at the range as a guide as to when to stop. Just like with ICE, I don't plan on pushing the limits.
