On Thursday, June 22, 2017, we celebrated the 5th anniversary of BC2BC by driving the nearly 1400 miles from San Diego to Bellingham, Washington in 45 total hours.
The car that was driven was the same model that I drove from BC2BC in 2013, the Toyota Rav4 EV. It took me 9 days in 2012 in a 2012 LEAF, and 5 days in 2013 in a 2012 Toyota Rav4 EV.
The Rav4 used last week was modified with our JdeMO fast charging kit, to allow 45kW charging at over 14,000 CHAdeMO stations worldwide.
With the exemption of an overnight stay in Redding while charging on J1772, and a quick stop in Yreka for lunch (while charging on a Tesla Roadster charge station), the entire trip was done with JdeMO.
