So we took the car for the first summer trip.
At the start it showed 180 miles range which was enough to go our destination and come back home (with 30 miles to spare)
So spent the day at lake Winnipesaukee and started driving back home.
Whatever you call it brain freeze, distraction but I took the wrong exit to get on the highway.
Went north instead of south.
So first exit and GPS (Google map via CarPlay) is telling me to turn around.
Since I believe I am going in the right direction , the GPS must be wrong.
I also ignored the 'N' on the instrument cluster!
Finally wife noticed 'Welcome to White Mountains'.
WHAT?
Turn around next exit, by now 25 miles was wasted (from original entry to highway).
So driving back and display shows 1 mile to spare for home address.
Here's my question...
How do you find a DC Fast charger WITHOUT stopping?
I find PlugShare interface hard (you have to plan a trip, I just want it to find one around me).
I did have wife enter home address in plugshare and it did not find any EA chargers (I know for a fact there is one in Manchester, NH which would have been a 5 minute detoure)
I tried FordPass but it says you can't use that feature while driving.
I had my son search for EA charger in google map and found one.
As we got closer to exit I checked home address and now it was showing 7 miles to spare.
Drove directly home and reached with 5% and 10 miles to spare.
But really if I was all by myself can I find a charger without stopping?
