    That would be a useful thing to appear in the pamphlet or whatever, but I do still think there’s some value in saying “expected value of 5 minutes” somewhere prominent.

    Because the whole point of quick charging is that (most of the time) you aren’t charging to 100% when you’re also in a time crunch. You’re either slowly charging to 100, or you’re quickly charging until you reach the limit of quick charging, and then driving to the next quick charger.

    So what matters in practice is “how long until quick charge stops” and “how much range does that charge get me”
