Okay, I did it today!


I left home at 7:25 am and headed up El Camino.  This will sound dumb, but I got lost along the way.  Wound up going about 5 miles out of my way.  I arrived at my destination having driven 48.7 miles and I had 6 bars and 33 RR (range remaining).  I did stop and charge L2 for 7 minutes along the way, while I got my bearings.  It took me just about what Google predicted, 1 hour 41 minutes.


I left the city on a now warm, sunny day and drove 6 miles to a Walgreens in Daly City, where I arrived with 5 bars and 24 RR.  There I bought some things and charged L2 for 1.5 hours (I brought stuff to do with me, so the time was not wasted).  When I left there I had 10 bars and 46 RR, and I had put in 4.27 KW, if I read the machine right.


I kept to the surface streets until the 380 interchange and there I jumped onto 101.  I was approaching Woodside Road with 20 RR and I knew it was 21 miles to home, so I pulled off and charged L2 for about 45 minutes.  I think that brought me back to 30 RR (I didn't write it down). 


I jumped back on the freeway until I got down to 3 bars and 15 RR, then I went back to surface streets for the last few miles.  I arrived home with 2 blinking bars and 11 RR. 


Total trip was 96.3 miles.  It took me about 1 hour 45 minutes to get up to the city and roughly 3.5 hours to get home - I forgot to look at the clock when I got home!  2 hours 25 minutes of charging time on the way home, and between 1-1.5 hours of driving time.


I'm going to have to get a real GPS if I do more of this kind of thing using exploratory routes.
