We left the hotel a little later than I wanted (mainly due to the time change. We topped up at the Kingman supercharger because we remembered that this was a long run in the cold with a cold battery. We used 85% of the battery going 148 miles, and climbing to 6900' elevation to Flagstaff. The car and the battery started out at 34F! They both used some of the battery to get warmed up. This is the difference between parking in the hotel parking lot and in the garage at home.
Then, between Gallup & Albuquerque New Mexico decided this was a good time to lay some new asphalt on I40. The traffic was at a complete stop for about 30 minutes then we got to single-file our way past it. We got to see some excitement too, as the stopped line of cars was partly hidden by a curve and an 18-wheeler had to lock up his brakes to keep from hitting the stopped cars... He probably turned 5,000 miles worth of 18 tires into smoke.
The whole trip so far:
Today: 661 Miles, 9:58 driving, 240.4 kWh consumed = 363 Wh/mile. Surprisingly, better efficiency than the first day's drive.
Here is the detailed data:
