    Oh no, I have to stop for 15 minutes after four hours of driving, every time I drive more than four hours at a time.

    I have anxiety right now just thinking about the next time I have to spend that 15 minutes in a couple months from now.

    Do you think I can save up all the times I don’t stop for gas between now and then and use that as some sort of credit towards that time?

        Surprisingly it is. The trip planner on my car tries to keep you on the steep part of the charging curve and has never planned more than 20 minutes.

        It’s actually kind of annoying since you want to do something while waiting but it’s not long enough

        • one long stop I walked a couple times around Walmart but didn’t have time to shop
        • another long stop the time was up before we found the food court so I had to stay longer

          You know you’re the boss of the car and not the other way around right? :p

        Yeah, often it’s shorter. Sometimes you don’t need another 70% battery to finish your trip.
