If you’re still road tripping Memorial Day weekend, all Ionna rechargeries will be $0.20/kWh from May 22-25.
I added Ionna to my preferred charger list after that experience. I was impressed. My only other fast charger experience outside countless Tesla ones, was electrify American and it did not go well.

That's what thought as well. They should also have a setting for charging stops.

Yes, there were a lot more charging stops between the 38% stop that Rivian told me to stop at and my final destination. I had to scroll along the route and click each charging stop and add it, wait for it to recalutate, and then repeat until i found a stop that said I would arrive at around 15%. Kind of a pain.
Yeah, it can be clunky. But I think it's one of those things where different people have different preferences and it's just not possible to do one thing that pleases everyone to the fullest? I personally would like the desired minimum arrival, at each charging stop, to be the % you set. This way I don't ever go bellow 20% for sake of optimal long-term battery health.

Feels like mine pretty much plans to the arrival percentage at intermediate stops unless there is an gap somewhere or the in between ones are slow. Sometimes I stop earlier or later and it refigures to the destination. You can also bring up the plan and add or remove stops. It's definitely a process. Since there are so many chargers around, I often just drive and then stop at ones that have convenient access or food; but I have a max pack that holds more than my bladder.
