I'm planning a possible move from Toledo, Ohio to Hanford California in the future. I'm sorting out the details of a move like this in the meanwhile. I have a 3-year lease with my Leaf and I have to get it out there somehow. Up to this point I've planned on hiring a transport company to get it there, while I take the train.
I'm kind of curious at the prospects of maybe driving my Leaf to Hanford California from Toledo Ohio. It would be in early April (a month or two). I would allow myself a month to make the trip (not really a set time to be there, that's an arbitrary date really). I've got a CHAdeMO port, and 6.6kWh on-board charger in my 2014 Leaf. I would be prepared to stop at any and all chargers to make it.
Do you think it would be possible or is it a crazy idea?
I've read of Kansas City installing CHAdeMO QC stations (and plan 1,000 total over time), and more and more nationwide coming online all the time.
Most likely I will be going with the Transport company to haul it there.
But, I just wonder if we've now entered an era where this kind of cross-country trip is possible? Or, maybe I'm crazy for even thinking of it, but what do you think?
