However, having internet access issues here. So I need to keep it short.
GaslessInSeattle started with 5 temp bars, 6 at his first QC, then 7 when completing QC in Ridgefield. I never saw higher than 7 (6 after 1hour L2 completed in Salem). Drove the speed limit (except last 10 miles at 55mph to reach my first QC in Hlasey), and kept the power bubbles low after leaving each QC to around 60% SOC.
For tonight I am using L2 to 80% with End Time only (7am departure), so that I have a cool battery by morning (still at 7 1 hour after arrival), and can use heat (not pre-heat) to get SOC down for my first (Roseburg) QC tomorrow.

Yes ... at EV4UNOW this evening/overnight ( GE Wattstation ... let's see what happens :shock: ). I still hope to arrive around 8pm, 9pm at worst. Sleep in a little at Motel 6 (Twin View Blvd). Could not work much on the California part of the plan last night, so I don't have the detailed Arr/Dep times yet. Breakfast tomorrow at or near Motel 6 ? Check tracker for my arrival this evening, Richard will taxi me to/from Motel 6. Dinner ? if it doesn't get too late ?edatoakrun said:"LEAFer"]

Have you arranged to use the J1772 at EV4UNOW.com?, which is usually available during business hours?
Sounds like your Redding plans are to be there as briefly as possible, and to spend that time in an unconscious state.
Good plan!
But if you wind up with any free time during the day, while waiting on L2 in the greater Redding area, I'll try to make it to your site.

You have to let it sit at least 10 minutes after stopping to be sure it reports your present position. It's not delayed, just only reports at 10 minute intervals. If you turn it off at 9 minutes from the previous report, that's the last report.
Could not see the top of it today ... shrouded in clouds and had quite a bit of rain after Yreka (is it really June ?). ( My first time north of Redding ... I had hoped for a clear view from all angles ... oh well )javan said:I am vicariously enjoying your trip. How does Mt. Shasta look at this time of year?
LEAFer said:I added Dep/Arr times to the above post in the third post (page 1). However, they are approximate ... this isn't Oregin, ya' know :lol:
Follow me on the tracker (see OP) to guesstimate loc'n/times if you'd like to meet me along the way.
