We are going on a roadtrip from California north to BC, across Canada (mostly on trans canada which is well served by SC, but side trips are possible for national parks). Might go all the way to the maritimes, or might stop in Montreal then head south back to US, Maine, VT, DE, RI, etc and then back home.
We are tight on space (family of 4) so the main concern is the Chademo cable is BIG. We have an older 3 so even with the upcoming CCS adapter we'd need a CCS retrofit, and our trip begins in June, so I'm not convinced the timing works.
We've done several road trips around the US without it, and mostly we were ok. We got stuck (as in, we should have rented an ICE) in Glacier NP off-season - and there's now a CHADEMO dc charger in Whitefish so that would have saved our butts. We also got stuck in Bryce NP and had to sit at a coffee shop for hours, but there's no ChaDEMO there either so it wouldn't have helped us.
I'm particularly concerned about Canada. It seems that Chademo coverage is 10-20x higher than SC off the "beaten path".
Thanks!
