Just arrived in Fort Lauderdale after two days on the road and 1800 miles in my Premium Extended Range RWD.
The whole trip went very well with EA besides needing to swap chargers in Cocoa beach (first one plateaued at 50kwh).
The car was great the whole ride cruising between 70 and 85 the whole way. The only minor annoyances being with Adaptive cruise control. In Virgina while sitting in traffic the Cruise control decided it didn't want to activate any more a quick pull over and power cycle fixed that. In Georgia a bug splatted over the camera and lane centering became unavailable until the next stop. The one consistent annoyance was lane centering on straight stretches of i95. Even though my hands were very much on the wheel it would still complain requiring a wiggle to verify I was still there.
Charging was great we set out with a full charge and made 8 stops along the way.
We could have done it in 6 but added a safety stop and had so issues planning the overnight stop.
Here are our stops
Wawa, New Castle Delaware (Safety stop since we had never road tripped it before)
66 - 88 % in 18 Minutes
Spotsylvania , VA27
27 - 80% in 29 minutes
At this point we changed overnight stop plans so our charges made less sense for a little while.
Sheetz Rocky Mount, NC(Out of Spec Motorings old home base!)
20 - 81% in 40 minutes
Lumberton, NC Walmart
39 - 80% in 23 minutes
We planned to stop here overnight but couldn't get a room so we pushed on into Georgia
Walterboro, SC Walmart
17 - 82% in 49 minutes
We stopped for the night in Savannah an exit before the EA Station and got back on track.
Pooler, GA Walmart
56 - 80% in 14 minutes
Jacksonville, FL The Avenues
26 - 80% in 30 minutes
Last stop and this first with any issues. First charger couldn't reach full power swapped to another and had no issue several E-Trons at this stop.
Cocoa, FL Sam's Club
20 - 80% in 35 Minutes
Overall it was a great time. I found the stops broke up the ride in a way that made the whole thing way less fatiguing. It was nice meeting other ev drivers at the stops even the new Tesla owner upset that he couldnt plug in the CCS plug to his Model S.
