Taking the 4X MME south for the winter from SW Iowa to Destin, FL around the New Year for the first time. We usually do the drive in two days, stopping in Paducah, KY at a hotel that accepts dogs and has an EV charger. I’ve checked ABRP and they’ve added a couple stops likely due to cold temperatures. I get that. But one is only for a 3% charge increase from 47 to 50%! It will take longer to detour than to charge. I have done the route multiple times and have checked out the charging locations. I use ChargePoint. ABRP and PlugShare to map my route and alternate charging locations.
Anyway, does anyone have experience with high mileage days? I’m okay with a 12 hour road trip. Is there something I’m missing? I can time the trip somewhat for better weather. Is this car not appropriate for a road warrior style trip? And, do I really need a 3% top up when the next stop is at 15% and there are other chargers before that?
