Presumably your remark here is supposed to imply that there will obviously be other chargers en route. So in reality then you expect what, MULTIPLE charge ups on a journey? So stop charging before its full, and drive on to another charger?
Exactly
Now whilst the infrastructure is still in its infancy, there are obviously going to be routes where this isn't feasible, but that's becoming less of an issue as time goes by and more chargers are being installed.
Well because the point being made was that it's poor etiquette / rude to charge to 100%, especially so if someone is waiting, so I was asking what is the accepted etiquette to charge to 100% without people sitting there silently judging you for your rudeness.
As I said before, you can be perceived as rude unintentionally.
If you've only just got your EV, the salesman was crap, and didn't explain charging speeds, you might be sat there naively thinking you should just charge to 100%, because why not? It's what you did in your old petrol car.
That's not rude, but might be perceived as such. Although then you could argue that the person assuming you're being rude is actually the one being rude by making that assumption, and so on
Ultimately it comes down to everyone having a bit more consideration for each other; don't charge to 100% when someone else is waiting unless you actually need it and dont assume someone else who is charging to 100% is being a **** for the sake of it, strike up a polite conversation with them, they might not realise their charging slows right down at the end, you might find out they're driving into the middle of nowhere and there are no chargers around.
Maybe they'll thank you, in which case high fives all round, maybe they'll tell you to **** off, in which case sure, feel free to think they're rude
