OK... you have my attention since I live nearby. What did you see. I'm not seeing the photo on this end.

Inquiring minds have to see what you saw, but since I don't have a facebook account, I can not view this:ALF said:I went into work at Everett Community College yesterday and here is what I saw:

Good news - CHAdeMO is active in Cannon Beach.DaveHanson said:Advice please? I'm trying to figure out if (and perhaps when, given new QCs scheduled for launch) a trip from Seattle WA 98112 to Cannon Beach OR 97110 might be feasible within 6-8 hour commute time?
I think the key in my proposed travel plan will be the QC in Fife soon to be online (I've incorporated that into the map directions below). Once that's online, then the only 60+ mile gap will be a 65 miles segment on highway between Castle Rock WA and Astoria, OR, of which 45 miles is interstate (US I30) that is not overly crowded, where slower speeds should be OK.
Luft said:It's such a nice day today that my thoughts turn to possible drives in my LEAF. I'm looking at going over the pass along Highway 2 to Wenatchee but of course a key DC QC along the route from a company who shall remain anonymous is on the BLINK so the drive wouldn't be convenient. :evil:
That fact aside has anyone travelled the 51 miles between the reliable AV chargers between Skykomish and Leavenworth with only a 80% charge? My sense is telling me that given the terrain the distance might be too far.
rdhauser said:And, for what it's worth, the DCQC at Tahoma market was listed as available on the Blink Map this morning.
Luft said:Has anyone gone from Tumwater DC QC to Ocean Shores. It's about 75 miles. A group of my friends want to know if I can take them there in my LEAF this April. We would rent a cabin for the night so I think I could charge there for a return trip.
If it's not too cold and I ran the whole way at 50 MPH will the terrain allow me to make it?
What do you think? Bad idea or go for it?

Luft said:If you were traveling to Weed CA and at Yreka you had five or six fuel bars with another 30 miles to go along I-5 and knowing that you were going to lose about 1.5 KWh due to the terrain would you:
1. Stop and charge at a RV park in Yreka for a few hours and about $15.00.
2. Continue along I-5 and reduce your speed to 50 MPH.
3. Go an extra 5 or 6 miles by taking HWY 3 to HWY 97 and then to Weed and reduce your speed as much as possible.
Unfortunately the scenario is a little harder. I planned to travel this entire leg of the EV rally at a constant speed of 50 MPH. I think I'll make it to Weed but if I calculated it right I'll arrive with .93 KWh of remaining power. I don't know if I can get away with travelling I-5 at 45 MPH. :shock:DaveinOlyWA said:Luft said:If you were traveling to Weed CA and at Yreka you had five or six fuel bars with another 30 miles to go along I-5 and knowing that you were going to lose about 1.5 KWh due to the terrain would you:

#2. manipulating speed is something I do almost daily. I am lazy and unless its quick charge or a VERY convenient L2, I dont really want to stop. If all it took was to slow down to 50, I would just slow down to 55 AT THE BEGINNING instead...
