Re charging times, there are several aspects here:
* charging stations have different powers
* charging time depends non-linearly on the remaining change
* ... and it's also temperature dependent (though only a little, with my plug-in hybrid)
I cannot plug in at home, but there's a public charging station around the corner, 3 minutes walk.
So I arrive there, plugin in, and the car gives me an estimation when charge might be finished. The initial estimate is sometimes off by up to 30 minutes (usually less). Sometimes I also forget the estimate, because I'm too busy with other things.
Getting a notification when the charge has finished, and an updated ETA on demand, is a notable QoL improvement.
It feels a bit similar to bluetooth headphones: I never complained about the cable before I switched to bluetooth. But now, I'd find it annoying to go back to cables.
