[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]60-70 ish minutes to fully charge the Model Y on Supercharger according to numerous sources on Google[/quote]

It's not like your gas powered vehicle where you might drive it on fumes and putter into the station to fill the whole tank. Its a totally different way of thinking and driving. Mostly you are plugging it in at night at home and never think about it otherwise. Ours is rarely below 80% charged. We only charge outside of home on road trips longer than 300 miles.

On a road trip, the car tells you what is going on vis a vis your distance to a charger and amount of charge left. You tell the car your destination, and the car tells you where you will be vis a vis available chargers and how much charge you will have when you get to each. If its a long trip, you plan the charge, but you will are never waiting for it to get to zero and then sitting around doing a full battery charge. You only need to charge enough to get where you are going and plug in there. Also, there is a difference in charge speed from low to mid and 80% to full (charging slows down as you get closer to full). If you are in a hurry, you charge it enough to get where you are going and then some which takes much less time than fully charging, then plug it in when you get there to charge more. It would be silly to be out on a trip and get low enough that you'd need an hour to fully charge. No one does that. We usually plug in for however long it takes for a normal pit stop, then move on. Waiting for full is unnecessary.[/quote]
