Seems like a lot of hassle when it's something that's much easier to do at home. Many people probably do it without realising they're doing anything more than just charging their car. It takes eight hours to do that charge on my car which only has a 51 kwh battery. It's an overnight job.
It's not that hard to run your car down below 10% at your convenience. I either wait till I come back low from a long trip (not paying for any more juice at my last public charge than I have to) or just don't charge the car in normal use until it's got there. (I remember once simply giving it a short charge one night so that it had just enough for the next day's drive, calculating that I'd be under 10% when I got home.) Then charge overnight in a single run. (This can take some fiddling if you're on Octopus Intelligent Go, but if you're restrictive enough about your "ready by" time you can make it happen.)
It's not that important. It doesn't do permanent damage to the battery if it's not done. It's just, if you don't do it, on your head be it if you suddenly find you don't have as many miles left as you thought you did.
