• Tesla Model Y: My 6 months impressions

  It's actually a 915km trip ending up in the French Alps during winter time, so it's more taxing on the battery, and I need some juice left on arrival (30%) You can test it out yourself on ABRP [0]. My trip goes from Lier, Belgium to Les Saisies, France. With "quickest arrival" setting, ABRP does 4 stops with a total charging time of 1h25min (and 8h29 driving). The stops are 28, 18, 18 and 22 minutes respectively.... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What Happened to EVs?

  Https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=f10ce8fe-c1b7-4ade-9c5e-bc564189a799 22h of driving, of which 2h38m for rest&charging Seems totally reasonable to me. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Tesla Model Y range estimate reduced by 6%, becoming more realistic

  > With ICE I don't have to worry about any of that. You don't do that with EVs that nav takes all of that into account. The only valid issue are the poorly maintained Electrify America chargers on non Tesla EV's. But that about to change in the U.S. Since pretty much everyone is adopting NACS/SAE J340 Standard. Which will make them compatible with Tesla Superchargers. Apps like ABRP also exist that is compatible... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What Happened to EVs?

  There is a general drought of Tesla SCs in Queensland / NE Australia, so ABRP can't find a suitable route only using the SC network. Otherwise a scenario for the Lucid Air Dream Edition has it charging 6 times for a total of 4h12m (in "great" conditions, though): https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=c34a381b-83fc-4bd5-a6d9-2dd86fffc60c. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Santa Barbara to San Jose road-trips in Chevy Bolt EV?

  Anyhow, your trip is just shy of 300 miles and all freeway. ABRP says take a stop in Bradley for up to 40 minutes if I want to arrive with ~10% remaining. If you expect or see any traffic, including in the form of road construction, you'll get better than what ABRP predicts (it tends to run conservative). Charge time is 40 minutes total, so factor in a quick meal, bathroom stop & you're good to go. You might wish... Source: 5 months ago

• Non Teslas are a painful affair in the US

  ..."To plan your routes, use ABetterRoutePlanner.com . You don't need to sign up. Cross-check the station reviews on PlugShare. Charge early, charge often. If you get into a jam, RV parks. Source: 5 months ago

• Electric car charging?

  If you're planning on driving around, you can also add A Better Route Planner to plan out charging as you drive. This is how I plan my cross country trips, and it's likely not needed for driving around from day to day, but it might be helpful. Source: 5 months ago

• EV Long Trip Concerns

  Chiming in with those recommending ABRP, and PlugShare for extra credit and checking out what's where on your route. Like with the questions of "when should I plug in? 20%? 40%? ..." there are answers outside of stated options that really are best. Here, that's letting a route planning software/website do the heavy lifting. Source: 5 months ago

• EV Long Trip Concerns

• Frequently asked questions about charging, costs, and range

  A note on DC fast charging on road trips. Every car has a charging curve (here's mine, and here's one for a Kia EV6 and a Tesla Model 3). What that means is that for battery chemistry reasons your car charges from 20%-30% way faster than it charges from 90%-100%. Tools like A Better Route Planner or your car's in-built trip planner will do routing using that fact to get to the destination faster, usually by taking... Source: 5 months ago

  For road trips, check out https://abetterrouteplanner.com for route planning with charge stops. Be sure and configure the car in it. Source: 8 months ago

• Tesla created secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints

  A recent Model S would do the trip in a half hour of charging. Maybe whatever generation you had and the chargers at the time weren't the same, but in the EV space you can't assume things stay the same even quarter to quarter much less year to year. https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=abfe9af0-a19f-4662-ba5e-127f40b244df And I do agree, not everyone's needs are fully solved by EVs now and may not in the... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Tesla created secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints

  Are you really arguing the average car frequently makes 500mi+ road trips? Either way, your NYC <-> Raliegh trip would be like 26 minutes of charging on an 8 hour road trip. Do you really not stop for somewhat that kind of time for an 8 hour road trip? You don't stop to eat for a minute, you race through the gas station as fast as possible, etc? I know for me I'd probably want to stop a couple... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• 5000+ Mile Road Trip - Tesla Model Y - Our Experience

  The other advice is to use ABRPto plan your charging stops for road trips. I also use this to pre-scout stops and change stops from some of the bare bones charging stations to some with amenities (gas stations) whenever I can. I’d save the route on my phone and only enter the next stop in the Tesla Nav and the Tesla Nav have better predictions for how much SoC I’d have when I roll in. As mentioned before I...

• range anxiety

  I second the recommendation for ABRP aka https://abetterrouteplanner.com/. It tends to skew slightly conservative, which is nice. Be honest about speeds, weight & conditions and it helps immensely. Someone here once said right now an EV trip is more like a flight plan, which I think is very insightful and helpful advice. Source: 10 months ago

• First road trip. Some questions!

  You don't really want to charge beyond 80% because it takes WAY longer, costs more etc. I use abetterrouteplanner.com it lets you prioritize less stops, lets you pick preferred superchargers etc. Source: 10 months ago
