>Also wonder how the “full tank” policy will work with EVs where ideally you want to hover around 80%

I thought for electric cars, that's already baked in? in other words, the car displays 100% and stops charging, but the battery is actually 80% charged. Also, I think for electric cars, they'll waive the "full tank" requirement or charge you a reasonable amount to make up the difference (cost of electricity plus a small markup). I sure as hell don't want to spend 30 minutes at a charging station the morning of my flight.

Nope, you can configure it, at least on Teslas. There's a slider you can adjust to tell the car how much it should charge to, so that with daily driving you usually charge to 80%, but if you're going on a roadtrip and want 100% - you can do 100%.
