I am planning a trip for summer and given Tioga is closed right now, the trip planner in my car isn't obliging, so asking the community for help.
I plan to charge to 100% @Groveland near Yosemite and then go to Mammoth Lakes. Before booking the hotels, I wanted to see if anyone else has successfully done this. We'd be fully loaded (6 passengers + luggage)
I used evtripplanner and it says I'll need 56kwh, but I am worried it is being optimistic.
For example, to calibrate evtripplanner, I compared it against the car's planner from bay area to Groveland,. The car trip planner says I'll use 90% of the charge. With 72.6 usable, that comes to 65kwh. For the same journey, evtripplanner says I'll need 56kwh - so there is 9kwh discrepancy. Therefore I am feeling a bit hesitant to trust evtripplanner and risk stranding my family on Tioga pass!
Thanks in advance for your input.
