How long have you got?
5 places fit a 40-minute stop, including the walk back and a 5-minute buffer.
We add up the walk there, time to enjoy it, the walk back and 5 minutes spare. Walking times are estimates, so allow extra for hills and crossings.
Pick the time your charge needs, not the time you’d like. Charging bays are shared, so be back and move your car as soon as you’ve got the charge you need. On a rapid charger that’s usually around 80%. Charging etiquette · How long will my charge take?
