Offer an option to set all stops to a certain percentage of battery (e.g: 80%)

Feature Requests

As of today we can change manually all the stops to have the SOC on departure to be 80% for instance.

In my case, I need to have longer stops because I travel with kids and family and it easily takes 25/30min.

Can you please add this option on the left of the slider to force a battery level for all stops?

I posted on Reddit to further detail my use case which seems to be shared by other users:

    When I am stopped I always charge to at least 80%. Currently I have to re-plan at every stop. So many times now I am still drinking my coffee when the car pings me that it is ready with 80%.

    Hi @Finn Thomsen,

    Just a brief comment on your suggestion: a global setting like this would make most plans longer than they need to be, but we have settings in place that can act according to your request.

    If you want a buffer - use the ‘minimum arrival SoC’ settings

    If you want to charge up to a higher SoC sometimes, edit the charging session for that specific charging stop.

      This is indeed what we would think of, but it doesn’t work reliably as it doesn’t re-plan the next stop to arrive at 10%, so we arrive at 30, 40% on the next stop. I found that I can do better planning by doing it manually considering that I stop for longer than the required time to charge till 80%.

      This has been discussed here :

      Hi there.

      I would like a setting to charge to a specified percentage each time. None of the existing settings work for this.

      Yes I can go in and edit each stop. But this ends up being a real pain especially when i’m experimenting with different routes as I have to do it each and every time I plan. Far better for it to be setting beyond ‘few but long’ to allow me to define what sort of stops I want to do.

      In the end journey planning isn’t always about getting from A to B in the minimum time possible.
