First, I was thinking that it would be brilliant for someone to create a website (if it doesn't already exist) that would allow you to put in a multi-stop route, your driving style, current charge, average efficiency, etc, and tell you if your trip is possible based off of available charging stations. I know there is a site that will map your route and show the stations, but I want something that would say "there is an approximately 19% chance you're going to run out of juice" or whatever. Just a thought.
Okay, so I want to start in Menlo Park, CA, drive over 84 and end up in Woodside. Google maps says this is a 41 mile journey. It is quite mountainous, but that also means I'm not going to be going above 50mph for most of the journey. Then, after Pescadero, I want to end up in San Jose. The logical route is to continue to go down one, charge in Santa Cruz, and take 17 home. Seems easy, but the closest charging station to Pescadero on that route is 25 miles away in Santa Cruz. So the question is: Do you think I could make the 66 mile trip on 100% charge? I know there are tons of variables, I just want your opinion. Thanks!!
