I wish the charging screen would stay displayed

Or at the very least the ID Light continue to pulse.

Agreed!!! ID light staying on would be great.

I'd happily settle for having the screen display the charging rate at something other than miles per minute. I mean, how fast a charging rate is 4 miles a minute anyway? (If my range is 250 miles, then it's saying full charge in 250/4 minutes, so that 62.5 minutes to provide 77 kWh of energy, equals a rate of charge in kW of 77 *(60/62.5) or 74 kW? Only, maybe the 4 miles a minute is rounded up from 3.6 and maybe it thinks my range is closer to 280, in which case it's really 60kW? And at 37% SOC, shouldn't I be getting more like 115 kW?)

Don't forget, the amount of energy your car consumes to drive 4 miles is likely different than the amount of energy my car consumes to drive 4 miles. After all, different driving styles, different climates and regions, different weights in the car, etc, all affect the energy required to move the car 4 miles.
I hope when my AWD gets here and then when the eventual OTA update(s) happen, we get the option to select how charging rate is displayed.

MPH or mi/min are terrible measures of charging speed, especially with it being based on the GOM

Leave it on, give us Voltage, Amps, kW, etc.

The car going to sleep during charging is what screws up the charge timers, I have a feeling. The infotainment needs to stay alive while other unrelated modules in the car can sleep, but VW apparently hasn't reverse-engineered a Tesla yet to figure that out.

I have the new Statement Pro S and the charging screen also estimates time to target SoC (eg, 5 miles/minute & 23 minutes to 80% charge). Does the first edition not have this info on display?

I think our cars are identical in this respect. Yes, I forgot that the ID.4 displays an estimated time to complete the charge. This is a more helpful number than miles per minute, because it doesn't depend on a GOM-like calculation of your driving efficiency. Based on the ID.4's charging curve, we could create a chart of optimal minutes to 80% charge at different current states of charge. Then if the displayed time to 80% is a lot longer than optimal, we'd know that something is off and we might want to change chargers or drive to a different charging station. This isn't really all that different from what i do now, comparing the charging rate in kW (visible on the charging screen or the EA app if I'm using EA) to the charging curve in kW that I have in my head.

Hmm.

It would be great to see these values on the screen.

Now we still need to use OBD2 dongle (video on battery heating):
