    Yeah. A lot of people don’t have first hand experience and there is a lot of misinformation out there.

    It does take about an hour to charge if you go from empty to full, but it charges slower as you get closer to 100%. That’s why they say it takes about half an hour to get an 80% charge.

    I usually try to plan my routes where I charge after getting under 10% and only save my longer charges for places that have some kind of point of interest, like a park, or a meal break. The apps strategize all of that stuff and make the route, you just have the option of optimizing if you want to adjust the route.

    It does seem to break up a drive a bit nicer and leave you with more energy when you hit your destination, but would be more irritating if I was under a time crunch and didn’t plan the time accordingly.
