I actually recently went through PA, Paramus to Pittsburgh. The in-car navigation can calculate if you have enough battery or not and will route you to chargers automatically. For road trips, you donā€™t need to charge to 100%, just enough to get to the next charger. So for a 20 minute stop, that gives you about 1.5 - 2 hours of driving. A full 100% charge can take well over an hour honestly. But your 0-80% is 45 minutes and 0-50% is less than half that. I regularly go to Montreal which would normally be 5.5 hours to my destination. All the charging needed takes an extra 2 hours. And thatā€™s including winter segregation. Overnight doesnā€™t use much battery if any, UNLESS you have sentry mode on. I believe itā€™s a couple percent overnight, 1-2%.
