Portland to Providence minimum battery size

[greginfinity]

I occasionally travel from Portland to Providence for work and am wondering if a 70D could realistically get there in the worst case conditions in the winter? It looks close on EV trip planner depending on the parameters so I was wondering if anyone has some real world experience with this route? Thanks!

The Seabrook Supercharger is basically in your way, and the Mansfield is almost as good but better positioned to roll in at a low SOC. Perfect for a efficient plug on that route. I regularly do 160 mi each way VT to MA, and with a M3 Dual LR, I need supercharger in winter, but it shouldn't be considered an obstacle,

Thanks for the reply. So you don't think I can make it without a charge in a 70D in the worst case conditions?

How do you define worst case?
It is about 175 miles.
I could easily do that in my 70D on a nice day.
But minus 5 degrees fahrenheit with snow and wind, I would not do it without a charge or two along the way.

Leaving at 100% you should be able to do it non stop but would definitely need to charge up on the way back. I would plan on charging at the Mansfield charger going and returning as its relatively close off the highway. Any charger within the Boston area would surely get busy depending on the time you travel.
