All level 2 AC charging will be so low power as to be trickle charging. Unless there's a grid or supply reason, lower the charge rate just means it takes longer, the truck is awake longer, and currently wastes more energy.I charge mine to 70% and set it to 25a. I set my charge start time to midnight and leave it plugged it. Doesnt get driven much but I like it ready if needed.
That's what I do with my Zero. I only charge it when it needs it. Right now it's at 54%, after going to the beach and back. Left enough to evacuate and come back again. I'll charge it tomorrow for Saturday errands and fun ^-^Consider this, though....Does anyone charge up to 60-80%, and then just wait until they are down to 20-25% SOC before charging again, even if that might be 3-4 days later?
