Which one are you referring to?I used abettertripplanner to plan trip.

Yes, this is very interesting for people to learn. When you have to rely on level 2 charging to refill during traveling, high speed driving is killing you. There's a little bit of an intuitive way to think about this. When you are using Superchargers, you're refilling at somewhere near 300 miles per hour, so during the driving, sure, go nuts at 70 or 80+ miles per hour, as long as you can reach your next station. But if your recharging is like 30-40 miles per hour like this, you really don't want to waste energy during the driving part because you're looking at a 1:2 driving to charging ratio, which is pretty unpleasant.What I learned, will do differently: Spent 2+ hours charging. Have 72 AMP charger = 14.5% per hour 14 Kw. So the extra few min I saved driving fast with lots of passing, was heavily penalized with the slower charger time. For example if I can save 50 Wh/Mi for the 183 Miles = 9.15 Kw or 40 Mins. That is with the 72 AMP charger.
I only have the 40A charger, but I got to do this trip when it was a nice pleasant 70ish degrees out, so I knew I wouldn't be losing a lot of energy from heating. Here's the other thread on this topic where I wrote about that.
Winnemucca, NV to Boise ?
