    Having to plan your trips around charging is annoying, there isn’t really much progress there.

    Do people do this? Sure I was anxious when I first got my EV, but the reality is very different. I try to remember to click the charge limit on my app from the usual 80% to 100% the night before but that’s all the planning I ever do.

    Do other cars not have this integrated into trip planning? When I use the GPS to set a route, it just automatically adds waypoints for charging when necessary. I never need to think about it. Maybe I haven’t gone rural enough yet, I don’t know

    And trip planning has never called for more than 20 minutes at a supercharger, trying to keep me on the steep part of the charging curve.

    Where’s the beef?
