Everyone has mentioned getting to Paso. What about the return?

Make sure to check return options as the onshore winds from the Pacific tend to come in from Monterey and blow in past Salinas and south. I've seen 20-30mph headwinds in that area. Im my last ICE car, I towed a 6400lb boat back that way and the best I could get was 60 in 6th gear (in an 8 speed transmission).

I had good luck with an EVgo in King City when I went up 101 with my trailer a year and a half ago. Big parking lot with plenty of space around the charge stall to pull in without blocking anything.

Thanks! Looking at maps and satellite, it looks like it could work. The wrong car parked in the wrong spot and could be bad. :) It's unfortunate they have that one spot at the end of the row, and they didn't make it trailer capable.
