There has been a lot of discussion about filling out I-80 between Truckee and Salt Lake City with Superchargers at Nevada Superchargers
For now, the shortest route between Truckee and the Superchargers on I-15/I-70 is the route from Truckee, CA and Beaver, UT, a distance of 530 miles. A large portion of this route follows US-50, "The Loneliest Road in America."
If you look at 1Truckee, CA 96161 to Beaver, UT - Google Maps; there are well spaced towns each with RV Parks in Fallon, Austin, Eureka, and Ely. On top of that Fallon, Eureka, and Ely have Best Westerns. Best Western has been partnering with Sun Country Highway to install High Amp Level 2 EVSE's (HAL2's) at many Best Westerns; for those of us with dual chargers, that could be real icing on the cake for this route.
BTW, I did check, and all the roads on this route are paved; you never know in remote areas like this...
The Loneliest Highway in America looks like an interesting adventure in an MS. Has anyone given this route a try? I'm considering this as a little adventure this fall. It looks like a relaxed, fun time covering the route in 1.25-1.5-2 days in an MS, with a strategic overnight charge in one of the towns with an RV Park.
