Trip Planner - is there a way to set your trip with a reserve?

In sum, I'm wanting to arrive at my destination with a set charge level, say 50%, or whatever.

When I put my destination into Trip Planner, it sees that technically, I can make it to my destination without charging, but it would leave me with about 10%, which is too low for my comfort considering where I'm going.

Is there a car setting or an app setting I'm missing? My only alternative is to map out my trip manually going to/from charging stations, which seems backwards.

Thanks!

Include your return to home or a following location as the final stop, the route planner should ensure you have enough power to the next (final) leg, otherwise I would monitor the anticipated remaining range before getting to next stop, manually locate your nearest charging station to level up to the desired SOC.

I would just add a stop in right before you get to your destination and charge up to what you think you need.
