Hi,
We've recently purchased our first electric car, a 2019 Nissan Leaf, with the higher battery capacity (about 235 mile per charge). We want to take it down from NYC (we actually live about 40 miles north of NYC) to visit family in the Washington DC area this Thanksgiving. The distance is about 270 miles, requiring at least one charge. After reviewing all the charge stations available along I-95, we newbies see that there are a relatively small number of L3 charging stations along the way. L2 stations would be out of the question, as a normal trip in a gas car takes about 5 hours, and we can't spend a whole day traveling. Has anyone else made this trip, and if so, how did they fare? What charging stations did they find along I-95? Also, we're staying in the Silver Spring, MD area, and note that there are some L3 chargers in the neighboring Tacoma Park. What was your experience using those stations, as we would need to charge at least 1 or 2 times while we're there. Thanks.
Simon
