On a 800km trip that I do twice every year, I usually just follow Tesla's onboard navigation. I have ABRP [0] open as well as a backup, but typically Tesla's superchager routing is pretty good (in mainland Europe with lot's of superchagers)

It usually charges from 5~20% to 40~70%. If you're optimizing to minimize total charge time, you should aim to charge from 10% to 60%.

Do you make those 800km with 2 or 3 stops? What's your approximate travel time, how many hours do you plan for the trip, assuming there's no serious traffic jam or anything like that?

It's actually a 915km trip ending up in the French Alps during winter time, so it's more taxing on the battery. We need some juice left on arrival (30%) You can test it out yourself on ABRP [0]. My trip goes from Lier, Belgium to Les Saisies, France.

With "quickest arrival" setting, ABRP does 4 stops with a total charging time of 1h25min (and 8h29 driving). The stops are 28, 18, 18 and 22 minutes respectively.

You can do it with 3 stops, and perhaps even in 2 stops during the summer and limiting speed, but then you spend more total time charging.

I like the 20 minute stops every ~2 hours. We travel with kids so the bio-break and leg stretching is appreciated. We leave in the wee morning hours so we arrive at the destination in the afternoon and avoid some of the traffic.
