It takes about 20 minutes to fill the car up to 80% charge and another 20 minutes to get to 100% charge.

You should be aware that charging above 80% could slowly damage your battery and reduce its capacity, which is why I have an 80% charge limit on my phone. Not charging above 80% can make batteries barely degrade at all!

Yep, I'm aware. We only charge above 80% when the trip requires it (either by bad road conditions / temperature, or by length of trip between available chargers).

Is that for lithium-ion batteries?

Yes.
