Hopefully electrify america will roll out its per kWh pricing soon; this will become a simpler task.
Agreed, it'll be simpler to calculate. Although I doubt it's really gonna be too much cheaper. They set those rates where they did because they thought that's what the market would bear, and I suspect they'll use a pretty close equivalent in the states they switch to per-kWh.
ABRP allows you to override the default settings for mi/kwh, speed (x% over limit), max% to charge charge up to, minimum arrival SOC% at chargers and at the final destination. You can further override the values at a given stop to suit the situation better - such as planning a longer charge at mealtimes.
Agreed, I don't expect it to get cheaper. Could be surprised.
There are several of them in Ohio on I71 between Cleveland and Columbus and I have never stopped at one. But . . . I may in the future. There are also some "Flying J's".
It's a good idea but it's currently prohibited by law with the intention of not competing against retailers in small towns. There's a Wikipedia entry explaining more about it.
Flying J is our regular gas stop in Richfield UT (has both car pumps and the huge truck pumps next door). They and Loves would be good choices for EA, as they tend to have some sort of fast food restaurant inside. There's an Arby's in one and a McDonalds in the other along my route.
