A little of an exaggeration, if the concierge I spoke with is correct I'll have some 120v charging in the hotel parking lot, but with temps in the teens I'm not sure I'll be able to do much more than sustain my SOC when I arrive. Then the car will sit almost completely undriven for the entire day in a different parking lot with no chance of charging. Then I head home in what may start with a few inches of snow on the road. Also on brand new Xi3 snow tires-good for traction, often bad for efficiency.
I've got a bit of range anxiety about this, but I think I'll be OK--esp. if the hotel charging works out like I hope. Just me and my daughter so we can hunker down at an RV park or something if range gets tight. And I have a few bailout options about 15-20 miles from home in case I need to top up to make it there.
Have I mentioned that Missouri's charging infrastructure sucks? There is one charging option listed on PlugShare between Springfield, MO and Osage Beach, and none in Camdenton. And that one is someone's home with just a J1772 (probably for a Nissan Leaf or Volt I presume).
None the less, I'm doing it...but I'm bringing blankets!
