I am looking at battery size, 135kWh vs 180kWh. I read that the best charge rate is 60% of capacity or the time to charge takes a long time. We have a commute of 850 miles from home in FL to NC. What to compare the additional time it will take with each battery size option. Assume I start with 100% charge and enough to get to the other end. I do not see much difference between 135 vs 180 and find the cost similar to my gas car.
Can some review please;
