I've had my MS85 for almost a week (!) and am planning my first road trip from the northern suburbs of Chicago to eastern Iowa (just north of the Quad Cities). One-way it should be approximately 175 miles, so we may not need en route charging, but I'm gathering info just in case. It looks like the Illinois roll-out of toll road EV charging infrastructure has not yet reached (or completely missed) the DeKalb Oasis on I-88; is anyone aware of charging options in that vicinity, or is the Aurora SC the closest best bet? Also, we will have only 120v charging capability at our destination, so I would greatly appreciate insight regarding public charging options in Clinton, Davenport and/or Bettendorf, Iowa, please. I have a list from http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html but welcome real-world info about location and charging experience, please (such as, are the charging stations in good working order and is there anything to do nearby) in those cities.
Thank you!
Thank you!
