I have been promoting fast charging until it tapers down to L2 speeds. If we are trying to use the air-conditioning, we may want to wait for the fast charger to taper down to 0 and then kick off. The charger would be powering the air-conditioning and extra time cooling the battery pack could be more than recovered in faster charging speeds at the next fast charge.
We might also want to wait a few minutes after charger stop before before we head off. This would allow more of the battery pack heat to get absorbed by the cool cabin before we disrupt the heat flow by driving.
