I'm taking my first extended road trip Mother's Day weekend from Bethesda, MD to Manchester, MA (a little NE of Boston). I've been looking at EVTripplanner and using it as a guide. I have P85D and will use range mode... try to keep my speed within 10 mph of the posted limits.
Current plan, according to EVTripplanner.com
1) Start with a full charge and drive to the Hamilton, NJ supercharger. 182 rated miles.
2) Drive to West Hartford, CT supercharger, 175 rated miles.
3) Continue to destination, 139 rated miles.
Questions:
Has anyone made this trip before?
Should I stop more frequently? The first charger is near Wilmington (which is about 70 miles away). Just felt too close to stop there.
Is there an ideal number of rated miles between charging stops?
Are these the best superchargers in terms of number of bays and use? I'd hate to wait in line...
Any other tips for travel?
Hopefully it won't rain or I'll have a tailwind... other than that, any advice is appreciated.
I can charge again at my destination so my return would most likely involve the same stops.
