I've been playing around with Plugshare and the NissanConnect EV's Route Planner and getting some interesting figures. Plugshare shows a whole lot more places to charge from than the Route Planner does. But the Route Planner can take into account elevation changes and things like climate control use and initial state of charge in order to estimate whether I would make it between destinations and with how many bars left on the "fuel gauge." By using the two I can figure out about how often I'd need to charge and for how long between destinations at existing charging stations and folks that have shared their chargers or outlets on Plugshare.
One thing's for sure. I'm kind of in a "just barely within reach" area, with barely making it with one bar left both east and west of me, and North not being an option. I better get either that boat tail or batter trailer, or at least a backup portable generator before I try it.
