SF Bay Area to LA -- what's the best plan?

[Neurio]

Did anyone try 101 route? How is the waiting time compared to I-5?

There are a lot of stations along 101, but the only big one is in the Camarillo outlets. The rest of the stations are 4 chargers, and a bunch around me have broken ones right now. I'd imagine the charging experience would overall be better because we don't get the safe traffic volume as the 5 does. I've charged at a bunch of the chargers between Thousand Oaks and Gilroy over the past 19 months without any super long waits.

Try 99 next time.

I would take the 5, and stop at whatever station doesn't have a line; there's a number of good ones:
1) Shell Firebaugh, on Panoche Rd.
2) Harris Ranch
3) Kettleman City
4) Raju Countryside, in Lost Hills
5) Shell in Bakersfield
6) Walmart in Santa Clarita

All of those would be fine, and I've used 5 of them lol. PlugShare gives all of those high ratings, too.

That was exactly what I did. Avoid long weekends of possible. 99 has many stations and many restaurants too
