Why does it matter if it charges from 10 to 80% in 20mins? Seems a bit arbitrary. Why not give us the time to charge to 100%? Does the last 20% take longer or something?

Thanks! To be honest I never really paid attention to charging much, just plugged it in every night and left it at that.

Which is what people usually do with EVs, funnily enough.
