North Bay to Ottawa (eastbound) will be touch and go for you in a Model X. The problem is the 3 cycles of hills between Mattawa and Deep River where each time you go from river level to hilltop back to river level you gain and loose over 150m of elevation. The energy recovery on the way down of course never equals the extra energy expended going up the hill. (There's also a few good hills between North Bay and Mattawa but nowhere near the three mentioned.) If you want to risk trusting the availability of the KSI charger at the Deep River Tim Horton's then you would be fine with 12-15 KWhs of charge there. Westbound is much worse. Because of the geology of the area the east side of the hills are much steeper than the west side so I would say that Ottawa to North Bay is just too much. I wouldn't chance it in my Model S P85+ and since I don't trust KSI chargers to be working I either take an ICE on that route or go via Toronto (did it once won't do it again - 800 kms rather than 480 kms). There is another KSI charger in Mattawa which would make Ottawa to North Bay possible, again if you trust it's availability. I've made this trip many many times in various ICE cars and the westbound trip always uses 8-10% more fuel than the eastbound trip in the same weather, car loading conditions and speeds.
My thoughts based on driving this route many times over and oh so looking forward to the North Bay and Deep River SCs!!
Thank you for the advice. I don't have a Chademo, so the KSI chargers are not an option. I guess I am too cheap to buy one for a single round trip. I guess the Huntsville detour is my route.
