I know! I just drove through NM four times in the past few weeks and ended up getting heat stroke and a bladder infection. (not from the driving since I do have air conditioning in the car, just not where I stay.)

As far as places to charge going through Colorado and NM, there just aren't many places to do it from. I'd have to take the long way around to make it in an EV like a Leaf, or possibly even a Tesla. For me an EV is ok for around town, or it has to be a plug-in hybrid. Or there needs to be more places to charge. Or I just need to be a bit more insane to try going all EV again.
