Every calculator online was technically right and practically useless. Here's what I actually see:
- Overnight on 240V at home: full from ~30%, no exceptions, always ready by 6am.
- Wall outlet at my in-laws' place: not full. But enough to get home + a buffer.
- DC fast on a road trip: coffee break. Sometimes two if my kid needs a bathroom.
Nobody told me the real answer, which is "the question doesn't matter once you have a home setup." The only time I look at charging speed is on road trips, and even then only for the first 20 minutes while I figure out if we're stopping for a meal or just gas-station stretching.
What's your real-world number? Curious how much the "3 hours to full" or "45 min to 80%" stats hold up once someone has actually lived with the car.
