Most of that time could well be the last ~20%

My car takes 240KW (It still feels insane to be delivering that much power) and 10-80% (56KWh) is about 15 minutes and 80-100% is another 15-20 minutes

Mine is the same.

That's why I find a car that only accepts 60kW and charges for 3 hours to be odd. Even if I limited my car to only 60kW, it'd take about 1 hour and 4 minutes to get 80% and another 20 minutes for the remaining 20%. So around 1 1/2 hours

(edit: fixing numbers)

Mine takes around an hour and a half from zero to 80% and just over an hour the rest of the way. In general, I find it rather unpleasant when the last 20% takes almost as long as the preceding 80%. I usually only charge to just above 90% though because going above disables features.

I usually charge from less than 10% to near 90%. Lower than 10 and the motors reduce output, higher than 93 and regenerative braking shuts off
