Having had a similar experience I would suggest a couple of advantages. Depending on how low a state of charge you had on arrival, it might also be important to be able to make it to services or another fast charger if something urgent comes up. Also depending on whether there is an outside receptacle or not, this may leave the screens open for the least amount of time. I was done charging in half a day using a 50A receptacle recently. Last time at the same spot it was a 3 day affair. It is also more energy efficient to charge at 240V than 120V.
