Been reading today about road tripping and just came across @evanevery’s post here: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/t...rom-a-1400-mile-trip-in-two-travel-days.2580/
I take a golf trip from Indiana to North Carolina twice a year. Really want to take the Taycan on the next one (spring), but am concerned about 1 section of the trip.
I downloaded the ABRP app and plugged in my trip which looks like the attached image. The section in orange is what I’m concerned about....this section takes you though the mountains of W. Virginia and its the best part of the drive. I typically fly through this section as its filled with elevation changes (5-7% grades), fast paced curves, etc.... ABRP says “Max speed 50mph” through this section, I’m assuming to preserve battery. This will put me at Wytheville with 10% battery left. I’m a little nervous that I’ll run out of juice prior to that if I‘m driving in a spirited fashion. Any thoughts on this? Given that there are NO chargers along this section, it seems a little risky...what do you experienced road-trippers think?
