At least that how it works at Harrogate, the buses come in to the bus station, goes on the required stand and sits for 5 mins or so taken on juice from the charger.

It's the most efficient way to do it.

If you're doing a long trip in an EV, it's quicker to do several 20-50% charges than it is to do one 10-100% charge (numbers are made up, but you get the idea)

A general rule of thumb is it takes the same amount of time to charge from 10-80% as it does to get from 80-100%, this is because charging speeds reduce drastically as the battery gets full.
It's the same with phones as well.
