West Bound, Day 27

Today was the other half of the way to Houston. The first part of the drive was not very fun. It was extremely foggy and we had to slow down as at times you could only see maybe 1/2 mile ahead! In Mississippi we listened to the blues, and in Louisiana we listened to New Orleans Brass Jazz. When we got to Texas, we weren't really sure what to put on, so we drove to the sound of the mud/snow tires on grooved pavement. 

The drive was pretty easy, other than the fog. There was some construction leaving Beaumont TX that the car directed us around, and there was a pickup with a blown tire on the bridge over the Houston ship channel that slowed that crossing.  There were no break-down lanes... The two guys were trying to replace the tire with the spare while in the right lane with maybe a foot of clearance between the truck and the wall. They were not having a good day.

At Greg & Marika's house we had been charging on 120v from a garage outlet, but the rate of charge is excruciatingly slow (especially since we go there with 19% charge). So Greg & I talked about installing a 20A 240V outlet so I could charge 3x faster. I'll make a Home Depot run on Sunday to get the parts.

The whole trip so far:

Total: 4,883.2 Miles, 1725.6.0 kWh consumed = 353 Wh/mile

Today: 497.6 Miles, 7:08 driving, 167.6 kWh consumed = 337 Wh/mile.
