Quick Update on my Austin -> Conroe trip.
Nikki was able to make it back with little issue, covering the 175 miles back to Cedar Park (actual home location) from Conroe-Willis with 25 miles left, but it was clear and no winds that I could see. On the way out it was raining so I used 10% more power (on the rainy segment averaging 335 instead of the 305 in the clear. I took 290, then 105 into Conroe, so it was easy to stay down at 67 for the fastest segments and about 60 or less on 105. Obviously taking I-10 (for Houston proper) might have been more problematic, both from distance as well as prevailing speeds.
To give me a backup, I worked with a really nice RV park called Artesian RV Park, just outside Brenham. They were very uninformed about electric cars, but were also very understanding and flexible. I added them to plugshare, shown here. Their 50A plugs were no problem, and we picked up 25 miles there pretty quickly after the rainstorm, but it turned out we could have arrived with 10 miles left even without the boost.
I never heard from anyone in Houston area from the forum - guess no one is that far north and on here.
