Am I missing something? 100% charges bad?
(*(more details in the comments) UPDATE
No queue when I pulled in, the person was the only one waiting when I came out, maybe 5-10mins after the other person pulled in. Mind you they were charging for 30 mins and had about 86-89%.
With queues I don’t charge to 100% that I understand we all have some where to go, I also can only use certain charge stations since my company pays for it, there is more details in the comments.
I got my answer thank you to everyone who gave me some good answers on how to charge and save my battery’s life and thanks to the other pressing me about charging and having to wait 5-10 mins for me to charge yall are the issue because not everyone has a charger at home, or has the option to use any charger station. I ain’t ever trying to be rude or make anyone wait if I make anymore wait it’s 5-10 mins to at least get 10-15% charge to get to the next charge point station.
My company pays for charge point station other stations I have to pay out of pocket. Please go through the comments. I hope everyone has a better day today don’t let anyone upset you, honestly not even worth the energy… no pun intended 🔋)
I’m genuinely curious as to why, people get so pressed when you let your car charge to 100%.
Mind you I’ve had my EV for 3 months and all I’ve ever run in to when I fast charge is rude people. Which is odd especially when I’m in an area that has plenty of chargers.
I’m currently on a road trip and when pulling in to the ChargePoint I was at 15%. So I decided to go to the bathroom and eat, I then come out to my car at 99%. I’m say took me 40 mins. Also mind you I have to go 200 miles to my next charge.
I wanted to make sure I was good. So I’m walk to the car, this person decided to tell me how stupid I am because i let the car charge to long and it’s pointless to charge to 100, then yanked the charge from my hand. Like damn, why it got to be like that.
I just want to know if I’m missing something? I drive longer distances and need to at least have 90% due to the limited amount of chargers we have in our area, plus I have to get places fast so need fast chargers.
When I bought the car I wasn’t really told much. Just don’t get why people get upset. I’ve waiting for a charger and never said anything. Just kinda made me feel like I’m doing something wrong.
