I am here in Banff and doing well. We made it across the border without much hassle at all. Honestly, I was surprised they didn't ask to look inside of the trailer. I could have been hauling
@cpa illegally into Canada, ready to undercut Canadian accountants' rates. They did ask repeatedly which firearms I was carrying. As I continued to point out that I don't have firearms, they pushed and pushed until I admitted that I had bear spray. AHA! Caught red-handed.
We drove from St. Mary (KOA Glacier Park St. Mary) with a full charge to the Fort MacLeod Supercharger. Easy trip with elevation loss. 73.6 miles, 491Wh/mi (vehicle reported - TeslaFi only has part of that trip due to network connectivity). The charger was vacant and was well set up for charging without unhitching except in very full situations.
We needed a full charge and slow driving to make it from Fort McLeod to Crossiron Mills, and it took exactly 1 hour, 0 minutes. Then, on to Calgary. 119.1 miles, 568Wh/mi (vehicle), 626Wh/mi (TeslaFi). The discrepancy between what the car tells us and what the API is telling TeslaFi appears to be in the total kWh consumed. In this case, distance being the same, the car says I used 67.7kWh and TeslaFi says 74.57kWh. Again, I'm not sure why they don't agree, but I tend to agree more with the TeslaFi numbers considering I used nearly a full battery of charge on that trip. I drove between 82 and 88km/h for most of that trip, on a road with 110km/h speed limits. Thankfully it was sparsely driven and I kept to the right. Once I entered Calgary, I saw I had enough charge to increase to 100km/h so as not to be run down.
We charged for 51 minutes in Crossiron Mills, while eating some food from the enormous Food Hall. That site seems OK for charging with a trailer, but due to cars parked adjacent to (and when I arrived, ICEing) the Supercharger, I found it necessary to unhitch or I'd block the vast majority of the stalls. We finally saw our first Tesla in ages there. A couple of older guys pulled in, plugged in, smoked a pipe, and then left about 10 minutes later.
Going to Canmore was going to be easy, so I drove 95-100kph (usually around 60mph). 75.14 miles, 654Wh/mi (car), 727Wh/mi (TeslaFi). A note to future trailer haulers - Canmore is a dead end parking lot, and while it has plenty of space for a U-turn with trailer, it isn't so easy when there is a utility trailer blocking most of the lot. It turned into a quite stressful maneuver for me, but thankfully we got turned around. Once I went through that, I stayed hitched despite blocking 3 stalls. Good thing - nobody else showed up in the 29 minutes I charged.
After that, we stopped at Safeway to load up (grocery situation around Glacier is quite lackluster), and headed the 18 miles to our campground in Banff. We had a site without hookups last night, as it was an add-on to my original reservation. The site for the next three days has hookups and I had understood it to have a 14-50. It does not. It has a 15A and 30A outlet. We had a busy day of hiking today, but when we got back I asked for a 50A site. They were sold out for the day and suggested I ask again tomorrow to move. I found a vacant spot, plugged in the X, and left a note to call me or stop by my site so I could move the car immediately. Nobody showed up and I moved the car at 8:30pm tonight after adding about 75 miles of range. I'll check again in the morning for vacant spots and opportunities for charging.
