Road trip next week

[david_quick]

Has anyone done the Seattle-Spokane trip using Superchargers and an adapter? The reason for the question is my daughter questions if I can make it from Coleman Docks to the Moses lake SC because we have to cross Snoqualme pass. ABRP seems to think I can as do Apple Maps and Synch nav.

She doubted her MY LR can do it.

I’m in a GT will start 100% from the ferry dock.

Have done Orting (east pierce co) to Leavenworth. That's three passes, Tiger mt, Snoqualmie pass and Blewett pass on one 100% charge. If I recall correctly I reach Leavenworth with 30/39% soc. So I think you should do just fine.

If you've got the adapter, you'll be overly prepared since the only Superchargers without Magic Docks are in Ellensburg and that one truck stop between Ritzville and Spokane.

Personally, i wouldn't worry about it since that corridor has lots of CCS1 and NACS charging stops available to you so you can really just pick and choose where your bladder and battery align best.

That is just segment one of the first leg. Going to Missoula the first day, Billings the second, Deadwood the third.

No issues going to spokane anymore from west side of Mt. I Think last charger over 90 till ellensburg is north bend mall and they have EA and EVgo same parking lot. 2 tesla magic docks George and Quincy. EA in ellensburg and cow creek mercantile. Moses lake and Sprague have EVconnect. Spokane has plenty. There are a couple of others but never used them. Only issue can't use cruise control over 80mph.

Ya, won’t be doing 80. Blue cruise as much as I can.

What’s the speed limit out there?

70

70

Blue Cruise loves 79 all day long.

BC works almost entire way. Corners through pass you need to pay attention. Sometimes suddenly slows to 50 on corner and sometimes doesn't slow at all. My biggest complaint is slowing excessively in corners or not slowing at all. Go pedal does not respond the same either if it decides you need to slow on corner. Press go pedal harder to keep speed, then somewhere it decides ok pedal works right now and suddenly speeds up. However TBH most of time I love BC.

What bugs me is aggressive slowdowns when it sees a speed limit change. Could just gradually slow.

I can set to 80 stays on most of time. Set to 81 disconnects fairly frequently. And almost always need to slow to 79 before it re-engages BC. 82 BC shuts off completely. But as speed limit on i90 is 70 I meant I set BC to 70. Lol.

Will be going through Montana so that is faster.

Yes if speed limit over 80 either have to go speed limit or drive the damn car yourself. Using steering wheel, go pedal, brake pedal, watch the road etc. It is feels almost like driving a car!

I'll be doing this trip (Sequim to Spokane) in my CR1 in Oct, possibly sooner.

I'm doing Sequim to Lake Chelan this weekend (288 miles).

Got my A2Z a few weeks ago. Opens up a whole lot more convenience!

The trips that I have done during cold winter temps where I had to go via I-90, I would charge before climbing Snoqualmie (Taco Bell or the North Bend mall). ABRP and Ford nav said I could have gone to Ellensburg, but it was a little too close to empty for me. A traffic slowdown with the heater/defrost running and climbing uphill, I felt like I'd be getting towed.

With the warmer weather, I might try to push it now that there are two Supercharger sites in Cle Elum. I'll see how favorable the range prediction is with the warmer temps.
