Correct me if I misunderstood (or read things too literally), but you're saying you stopped more than 8 times in a 500 mile trip? That seems like a lot, especially if they were for recharging. But I don't know the charging rate so maybe it was a case of many short sessions vs. 1 or 2 long ones?
Note: I got >8 because you said most stops were 10-min and then listed 4 stops longer than 10-min.
- dragontamer 7y agoShort sessions are optimal. The battery charges faster when below 50% capacity.
- Reason077 7y agoThat’s true, but you also spend extra time driving off the main road, pulling up to the charger, and plugging in. So while 2 stops is going to be much faster than 1 on a 500 mile journey, there’s likely to be diminishing returns after that.
- natch 7y agoChargers are usually right near an exit.
- natch 7y agoYes it was 9 or 10. But I was having fun checking out the different charging locations since it was only my second time on that route. There still are plenty more stations on that route that I haven’t been to yet, btw.
