My First Road Trip

Just finished driving from Prescott AZ to Tulsa OK, so the trip is halfway done.

Used Electrify America exclusively because Free. Almost no charging issues. Charging plan was conservative: stop in Flagstaff with backup in Winslow, stop in Gallup with backup in Grants, etc. Several Wal-Marts, a couple of Love's truck stops, a Sam's Club, and a mall. The EA app was accurate in reporting chargers down (typically 1 out of 4) and a couple of these had repair guy on site when we were there. Only once did a charger fail to do the initial connection with Plug and Charge, so I just switched to another charger.

Used Level 2 ADAS for about 80% of the time with looking at the side mirror to change lanes. Nearly perfect. It only tried to kill me once when it suddenly swerved my car towards the rear of a semi I was passing.

Fun experience overall.
