900 miles in two states with very limited rural area charging stations....many have said it can't be done, including me until now. The trip goes from Treynor, Iowa to Jefferson City, MO, from there to Humboldt, Iowa, and finally back to Treynor, Iowa. It will be My girlfriend and I on an adventure driving mostly overnight and into the morning. My family is all in Jefferson City, MO and her's is in Humboldt, Iowa. We'd take off the Monday before Christmas after work (about 7 or 8pm).
Journey starts in Treynor, Iowa (Near Omaha, NE).
I drive to Rock Port, MO and charge at a campground with my EVSE (Charging station in Nebraska City, NE if unable to make it).
Following that it's smooth sailing into a charging station in St. Joseph, MO then Kansas City, MO.
Head from there to Sedalia, MO and charge at a campground and then arrive at Jefferson City, MO.
That part of the trip is the easy part. Now for the much more difficult trip with campgrounds the majority of the way up that I have yet to call to see if they'd allow me to charge.
Jefferson City, MO to Columbia, MO charging station.
Columbia to Bevier, MO campground charging.
Bevier to La Plata, MO where there's a charging station at a hotel...won't have to stop but most likely will.
La Plata to Kirksville, MO where I will charge at a RV park.
From there to Bloomfield, Iowa to Eddyville, Iowa to Pella, Iowa and all those stops are campgrounds.
Finally I get back to a charging station in Des Moines, Iowa.
From there I head to Ogden, Iowa and that's my last stop for a charge till Humboldt.
From Humboldt head to Jefferson, Iowa to charge at the last campground of the trip.
Jefferson to Elk Horn, Iowa where there are literally more public charging stations in that very small town then all of Omaha, Nebraska Metro.
That gives me enough to make it back home in Treynor, Iowa
I have only called one campground so far so right now I'm just in the planning stage. I want to do this but am not going to stretch myself. I limited myself to 60 miles between charges except for the Treynor to Rock Port part since there's a charging station along the way if need be. I'm open to suggestions and ideas. Tomorrow I plan on calling every campground along the way for this trip to see if it's even possible. I'm feeling excited for this! Girlfriend is up to it to. Nothing more exciting than doing something that others say can't be done!
