I think the only real benefit would be on longer holiday trips like you mention. But probably you would only charge during lunch or dinner and even then on the entire trip it wouldn't make a big deference.

For me and I think the most of us over night charging is sufficient and I can leave it plugged for 10h. So 3.6 is enough for me.
