@orlandow , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message. 

When using any Fitbit your'll receive a weekly report with the amount steps per day and week and some other data recorded during the week. You'll get the weekly report at the start of your week, with the data of the previous week .

Depending on your needs there are several Fitbit models. You can take the quiz to see what model fits your needs better.

How often charge - daily, weekly?

Does charter "use" electricity if kept plugged in?

@orlandow , Thank you for your reply! 

Depending on the model and usage, there are models that a battery charge can last up to 7 days. 
The charging cables do not consume energy while plugged. Only when the device is attached to the cable. 

You can check the following table to see the battery expected duration. What is the estimated battery life for my Fitbit device?

I have set my daily goal at 10,000 steps and because of this cannot access fitbit while exercising. I want to change steps to a thousand so I can access time and distance while exercising. Please tell me how.

@orlandow , Thank you for your message. 

The daily goal is independent from your activities. This shouldn't impact the usage of your device. Meaning: you should be able track your steps for your daily goal independently if you track any activity.
Are you sure, that you didn't set up that the goal for the activity tracked are the 10 k steps?
Either way, you should be able to start or stop any activity even if you don't  get the 10 k steps. 
Could you please describe the path on the app that you did, to setup the 10k Steps?
