PlugShare is great for finding chargers and recent status. A Better Route Planner (ABRP) is the best utility for route planning, but its database of chargers isn't as current.I would like to drive my R1T from South Florida to North Georgia soon. I was wondering if PlugShare is the best app to plan my trip with charging. Thabks
EA's coverage is decent enough for that trip to exclusively use their chargers. https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger/I would like to drive my R1T from South Florida to North Georgia soon. I was wondering if PlugShare is the best app to plan my trip with charging. Thabks
Is there a reason why I would want to only use EA chargers? Sorry for the ignorance.EA's coverage is decent enough for that trip to exclusively use their chargers. https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger/
Thank you and will do.PlugShare is great for checking out charging stations and validating they’re working as you can’t always believe the EA app. In addition, it can be relatively real time. Please contribute by checking in and letting other users know your experience at a specific station and/or pedestal/dispenser.
Tend to be the fastest and most reliable option. Lots of other charge networks only put one or two stations in, so if they are down you can get stranded.Is there a reason why I would want to only use EA chargers? Sorry for the ignorance.
Don’t let it overwhelm you. You can also just hop in the truck and put the destination in the truck’s map, and it’ll do it all for you. If you’re in a hurry on the drive, 5 minutes of planning the night before might save you some charging time (but probably not a huge difference).Now I am getting nervous about my decision to drive.
That’s battery pack size. You have 135 alpha (large battery pack = 135kwh). All delivered r1t’s are currently 135kwh.Just jumped on ABRP and started to enter my vehicle information. I have an R1T but what the heck is 105 Alpha, 135 Alpha, and 180 Alpha?
Thank you for the vote of confidence.Don’t let it overwhelm you. You can also just hop in the truck and put the destination in the truck’s map, and it’ll do it all for you.
