Plan with alternate charger

Here's an idea:

Instead of minimum SoC at a charging stop, what about having the option to “arrive with enough SoC to get to a second charger if this one is broken”.

I've seen this a lot: “I arrived to a charger and it didn't work, I barely had enough battery to get to a second one, or not at all “. You probably have seen it too.

That's why I think this would be a cool option to plan charging stops.

The idea would be for the minimum SoC to be determined by being able to reach a backup charger. I would consider a backup charger anything more than, say, 250-500m away from the first one, since it's somewhat common for hubs to show as multiple spots and the idea is to get to a different stop.
