She's never wanted to master Supercharging .... and I can see her point too. I'm a detail-person, and happy with the planning, and mental arithmetic en route if need be. She hates maths ... but she has been to Superchargers with me ...
... however, she's thinking about it! and I'd like to encourage her. If she could just stop at Supercharger by the roadside that would be fine ... but the journey doesn't lend itself to that.
I've created a slightly artificial journey (in A Better Route Planner) in order to simulate some (15 miles) running around in York, and a slightly further return destination Belt & Braces
Cambridge, UK
York, UK
Strensall, York, UK - simulated running around ...
York, UK
Stowmarket, UK
MS P90D - Depart at 100%
The assumptions I have made:
340 Wh/mile @ 65MPH
Speed 110%
Max Speed 80 MPH
Depart 100%
Charger arrive 10%
Goal arrive 10%
Temperature 5C
Wind 0
Dry roads
ABRP would take me via Leeds on the way up, that's a fair chunk out of the way, and there are only 2 stalls there - round the back of the hotel, I think risky that they are busy ...
If I add Grantham to 90% (would prefer 80% max ...) on the way up she still can't get back to, say, Woodall (also a bit of a detour) on the way back, and ABRP says Barnsley - also a 2 Stall supercharger ...
I wondered about charging on CHAdeMO at the York Designer Outlet (I'm sure she could kill an hour there ...), I have APP on my phone so maybe (from afar) could initiate the charge for her when she gets there ... but all that kerfuffle with the CHAdeMO adaptor is a bit to ask ... I think there is only one CHAdeMO stall there, which might be busy etc. ... she would cope, but I don't want to put her off ever road-trip-charging again!
But getting some charge in York would allow her to stop at Grantham both up and down, no detours, and apart from CHAdeMO would be straightforward.
Just possible she might encounter a 13 AMP socket where she is staying for the night, which would help, but don't want to rely on that.
