EVTripplanner shows backtracking north to Paso Robles and taking Rt. 46 across to I-5. Goggle maps recommends taking 101 to Nipomo and then East on Rt. 166 to I-5. Looks like I could also take 101 to Santa Margarita and then Rt. 58 to I-5. If I want to avoid range anxiety, what's the best route? Or will range not be a problem and take the most scenic route? What would you recommend?
Hwy 58 is my favorite BUT it is not easy or quick. It is a long lonely scenic route with twists and turns and ups and downs and long flat stretches. Best to fill up the battery at Atascadero and allow for 2-3 hrs to get back to civilization on the I-5 side.
Since I wouldn't have range anxiety traffic conditions followed by scenic route is how I would choose.
