Well, I don't know how they came up with the numbers and stops, but when I plan it out with ABRP it shows just 6 stops... (well, going the opposite direction which SHOULDN'T make a difference - from Joshua Tree, CA to Austin, TX.) for a total of 5 'charging' stops along the way (1236 miles)... Maybe they put in different parameters... I chose 'Quickest arrival' and 'charge up to 95% max... I even made sure to 'add in' the extra weight of another person and 350 lbs of luggage/stuff (500lbs total)... Still shows ALL charging stops only charging up to a MAX of 78% (on 2) and the charging times of a TOTAL of 2hrs and 17 minutes (for a trip of 17 hrs 7 min)...
I think those guys 'rigged' it a little differently than what they should have...
NO WAY would they need to stop more than that unless they just liked to stop a lot for some other reasons... The LONGEST stops for charging was 36 min (at the two stops in Texas, charging from 15% to 78%, the others were 16, 29 and 20 min.)...
I mean come on... it's only 1236 miles... Even if the CT only got 200 miles per 'full' charge, that's STILL only 6 stops max!
