Should I wait for 100% at a rapid charger before continuing?
A driver has enough energy for the next planned stop but is considering staying longer. How can the decision be framed without treating one charge target as correct for every trip?
EVVerity explains
The answer
Compare the next leg and the extra wait
Estimate the next leg’s energy use with a reserve and a realistic fallback. Then compare the remaining charge time with a later stop. Follow the vehicle’s guidance on charging; a route with sparse or unreliable alternatives may justify a different choice from one with several compatible stations.
