I’m new to EV’s and have been planning out future road trips with my MME using A Better Route Planner.
An odd thing I’ve noticed is that sometimes it will only have you do a partial charge (for example, from 10% to 30%) then have you get back on the road and charge to 80% at the next stop.
Why? Is this just a technical issue with that particular app? I would instinctively want to always charge to 80% whenever I get the chance. Suppose the next charger is full or out of service. It’s easier to adapt in situations like that if you’ve got a full 80%.
Just wondering if there’s some reason to do this.
