Here are some info and photos from our second day of the journey. We traveled from the Marriott courtyard in Oxnard to the Lamplighter Inn (Comfort Inn) in San Luis Obispo, a distance of 163 miles...
We got the car packed up in Oxnard with 100% charge from the night before and headed up CA-101 to Goleta (which is a few miles north of SB). The trip is 44 miles. We held the speed down as we could on the freeway, and arrived in Goleta with 5 bars and an energy efficiency of 4.8 miles/kwh.
We found the Rabobank charging station at 5956 Calle Real and plugged in...It is a Clipper Creek 70 amp-capable unit with a Tesla label on it. All the Rabobank locations are free to use. We stayed a total of 2.5 hours, did some shopping and walked around. There are a lot of stores/restaurants on Calle Real and the time went by; there's even a bowling alley nearby...We were able to charge back up to 9 bars during that time, and it was time to hit the road...
Here are some photos of our Goleta stop...
