Got my leaf last Saturday and I've got to get to Dublin on Sunday Feb 3rd. The road is 95% motorway. The journey from my home to the fast charge on the motorway is 135k according to google maps.
https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr...onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Carwings route planner doesn't seem to think it can be done. But the Leaf Energy App on my iPhone says it can.
I'm assuming full charge, no climate control (maybe short bursts to clear the window), economy mode. I will have to use the lights. Outside temp figures to be maybe 3-4 degrees C and rising to maximum 8-10 during the day. I have to make the reverse trip on the same day. Fwiw, to date I have been able to get 8km per bar of charge.
I do have some options to pull in for onstreet charging along the way but they will not be fast chargers.
So my questions are:
1) Is it possible or should I just leave it and take the ICE?
2) What speed can I travel at?
3) If I have to fast charge 3 times during the day, is that an issue. One would be on the way up, one in Dublin before I get to the event I'm attending and one in the same spot on the way home that evening.
All advice/input much appreciated.
