"Longer stops at meal times" checkbox

Feature Requests

When selecting anything but “Few but long” charging stops, offer a checkbox below the slider that allows the planner to add longer stops at typical meal times. I prefer to do shorter, more frequent stops, but often overcharge at meal times because I'm eating. So why not just make that a thing it can enhance my trip plan with?

Bonus points I suppose if I can define meal times in settings.

    This is a must.

    I always stop for longer than planned, and leave with more charge.

    …But the plan does not update, so I need to re-plan with the current SoC

    It would be particularly nice if charging stops at meal times could take charger speed into account — that way a slower charger that had better restaurant options available might get chosen. Slower chargers (chosen to produce a charging time that approximates a setting for "time to eat meal”) would help to avoid idle fees & would also be a kindness to folks who were hoping for fast charges (by not using a fast charger when you didn’t need one).
