I wrote up this trip last year but never posted about it here. Of interest to people will be that a lot of it was through regions of British Columbia where there are no superchargers, though since the trip chargers were added in a few places, like the road to Prince Rupert, and Jasper national park HQ. There are lots of CHAdeMO CCS chargers though, many of them free. In fact, on the whole trip, I spent only $100 plus 1,500 of my "free superchargng" miles to go 5,000 miles. It comes in 3 parts.

(As most will know, the CHAdeMO adapter is discontinued and expensive on eBay and we all away the arrival of the CCS adapter now for sale in Korea, and the car controller upgrade that will make this adapter work with older Teslas and some 2021 Teslas that were made without CCS support.)
I also write about non-fast charging and how you use it on a trip like this:

And finally, I did a report of what it's like to use a 12v electric fridge in your Tesla, which as an EV has enough power to run that fridge for ages, if it weren't for the fact that Tesla turns on the 250w computer so you can run the 15w (average) fridge! Arrrggggh.

Plus, to cap it off, a nice video of salmon jumping the falls on the rivers of BC. Plus, I made my TMC icon a picture of my Tesla doing its first CHAdeMO charge -- at a Petro-Can gas station.
Enjoy.

Tesla's supercharger network is the best, but getting their CHAdeMO adapter offers the best of both worlds, filling in gaps and is often like having a car with more range.

Guide To Using A 12v Fridge On An EV/Tesla Road Trip
You can now get a real fridge for your car. An electric car can keep it running all the time, though Tesla makes that harder to do than it should be. Here's a guide to road tripping with a Tesla and a fridge.
