I have an 85D on order with delivery in March. The car will meet more than 95% of my driving needs. My question is about 2 road trips I have over the next year.
I travel up to Ithaca, NY from western Long Island. Door to door the trip is 240 miles. Along the route there are two superchargers, one in Tannersville, PA and one in Binghamton, NY. My fear, regarding the trip, is that the Binghamton SC is 40 miles from my destination, and then the car will sit for 8 days. Then I have to do the trip in reverse. There is a charger at my destination, but there is a strict 3 hour charging limit and I believe it is only a 30 Amp charger. Also, I am in a very intense program and running out to put my car on and off the charger in 3 hour increments will be a nuisance. One of the road trips will be in July, and the next in January, when Ithaca will probably average about 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the week.
My question is if I will be able to SC up to enough miles to get to the destination and back with the 8 days of vampire loss? I may be able to put the car on the destination charger for 1 or 2 three hour sessions. I will also ask the facility beforehand if I can get a special dispensation from the 3 hour limit for one night, which would solve my problem. I have another car, a Prius, that would be a far distant second preference for a road trip like this.
Thanks in advance.
