"Safety" mode - always be able to get to a backup fast charger

Feature Requests

🚧 THIS IS A TICKET MIGRATED FROM UPVOTY. The original ticket and comments will be available for a limited time over at:
https://abrp.upvoty.com/b/request-a-feature/safety-mode-always-be-able-to-get-to-a-backup-fast-charger/
———————————————————————————
I would like to be able to switch on a mode that would plan my route but also make sure that I never turn up at a fast charger without enough charge to get me to another fast charger if that charger is not functioning. This should be the default mode, frankly. I have been lucky so far but one day my luck will run out… Not so important where fast chargers are fairly "dense" but certainly so where they are less available.

    Yes, please!! I'm constantly tweaking the plan (eg - avoid specific chargers) to make my plan ‘safe’. Someday this won't be necessary…

    Charger Arrival SOC

    I may be a bit paranoid, but when I arrive at a charging stop, I want to have either a minimum SOC (10% for me) …or… enough charge to get to another DC fast charger, which is greater.

    I can currently set a minimum arrival charge, but it would be nice to add a check box that allows me to specify that I always want enough SOC to get to an alternative DC fast charger if that turns out to be more than my set minimum.
