We drove from Minneapolis down to Madison this weekend. The car had 90% battery when we were leaving but the navigation system routed us to a supercharger that's 15min away from our house to charge for 5 minutes, then had another stop half way rather than actually drive a more reasonable distance. (there now 6 superchargers along the route we took.) Specifically, we wanted to charge when we stopped for dinner.
Is there any way to preferentially specify charging stops in the software? The only way I got it to work was because I knew there was a supercharger in LaCrosse so I could enter that as the destination. I could have ignored the first charging stop but then I would have wasted a bunch of energy warming the battery to prepare for supercharging that I wasn't going to do, and If I had just put 'LaCrosse' into the GPS it would have assumed I was going to use destination charging.
