EV owners cannot predict real-world charging time accurately

EV owners lack tools to accurately predict charging time based on battery level, ambient temperature, charger type, and vehicle model, leading to poor trip planning and range anxiety. Navigation apps provide estimates but ignore weather, charger degradation, and real-time grid load, causing owners to arrive at chargers expecting 30 minutes but waiting 90 minutes.
