Install other charging apps on your phone (Chargepoint, EVGo, etc) and set up accounts on them before leaving.Fellow Luciders, we are taking a road trip from DC to Savana GA, to Miami to Atlanta to DC. Any suggestions on charging and general recommendations. Thanks in advance.
Thank you, for sure I will report backI have found the Lucid Nav pretty accurate in identifying charging stations. I just did a 1,400 rt to Indy and used the stops set by NAV. Last Spring I did a road-trip from Central Jersey to south of Atlanta via Columbia, SC. I found good EA stations all along I-95 to I-20. I can’t speak to south of there since ai turned off towards Atlanta. The advice about signing up for other chargers and having their apps handy is good advice. I also run a trip on both PlugShare and ABRP - and now Chargeway - just to see where each suggests charging. I also try to plan any overnight near an EA station and charge-up later that night so I am ready to go the next morning. Enjoy your trip. Let us know how it goes in FL and back to Atlanta on I-75.
Appreciate the adviceI have made multiple trips from Annapolis to Myrtle Beach in my Touring and here is some friendly advice. If you can make the first leg from DC to the Sheetz gas station in Rocky Mount, NC (EA Chargers) that would be preferred. Not crowded and you get good charging rate, plus very nice store. Emporia Va. near the NC line has slower chargers, even though they are 350kw, the area seems a little sketchy but nothing has ever developed while using that place. That one is in a Walmart parking lot. I can't speak for the rest of trip, but it is a damn shame the Tesla beat EA to the BUC-CEES service centers because they are the bomb. A must stop for food and bathrooms down 95 south (only Tesla chargers).
