Ev range

Drove to the Cape with my EV and really tested it's range. After driving down it said I had 130 miles of pessimistic estimate milage. As I saw driving back, I watched the pessimistic estimate go down faster than 1 mile/mile. I got my tomtom out so I could see a real time milage left read out. It did look like I was going to make it with ~15 miles left. Then I got stuck in traffic and suddenly had closer to 30 miles left because of the slower speeds. I wasn't using heat or A/C, but I was using headlights and radio.

So I think lesson is, I can likely make it to harwich port and back under ideal cercumstances, but if I have to climate control or as the battery ages, I will have to find some way to charge. Hopefully as the years go by charging will get easier. The cottage didn't have a good place to trickle charge, but there was a park and ride that had some level 2 charging. The level 3s were all near boston.

It was really nice to see my sister and neices and their families. I even had fun in the ocean, which is rare.
