I'm taking my first EV road trip in a few weeks - a little over 1,000 miles each way. I tend to overplan and this trip is no exception.
Some of my thoughts:
I have a spare tire and tire repair kit which I will bring. Also, a CCS adapter and a mobile charger (friends I'm visiting have a 14-50 receptacle). And I'll have snacks... lots of snacks.
What am I not thinking of?
Are there things you bring on road trips that you consider essential?
Things you bring but never use, but will continue to bring?
Should I trust the Tesla navigation? Or is ABRP really a better route planner?
General advice?
Some of my thoughts:
- how far can I go between charges?
- if this SC is down, do I have enough battery to get to the next one?
- find a hotel with a destination charger (but also with a SC nearby in case the hotel's is broken / in use)
