Hey all. Planning a road trip from SoCal to the Bay Area, and back.
Typically in the past, I’ve charged to 100% at home, and stopped at Harris Ranch. I usually arrive with sub 5% battery, and have to baby it a bit with the uphill climbs and lack of regen to that point, so having to stay under 75 on the freeway.
I then charge to 100% at Harris Ranch (they have such a mega insane stall setup now, so I’m never causing any hold ups for anyone).
I then usually arrive in the Bay Area with around 20% or less SOC.
I don’t necessarily get range anxiety, I get “going to a new random supercharger station” anxiety. Not being able to find it, being a pain to get in to, being super super busy and having to wait, etc, hence why I’ve stuck to my Harris Ranch single stop as I know there will always be a full speed charger available, guaranteed, and there’s great food available too.
Would like some thoughts on this 100% SOC -> sub 5% -> 100 SOC -> sub 20% SOC… I pretty much already know the answer… potential for increased battery degradation, but I shouldn’t worry too about it, etc, but still would like to hear your thoughts.
If anyone has a reliable supercharging route to head from Long Beach to the East Bay Area I’d love to hear it.
