Santa Barbara and Ventura are great due to the number of CCS locations and L2 destination chargers. Want to head out to the beach? You'll have a L2 charger within a mile. Hang out in downtown? More L2 chargers. Thousand Oaks Mall, Camarillo Outlets, Ventura (Pacific View) Mall, and Santa Barbara (La Cumbre Shopping Plaza) all have CCS stations.Thanks. I look forward to it. DCFC is still non existent out to Vegas and from the High Desert up to Bishop and Line Pine. I wish that resolves itself soon as I like to hike out there quite a bit. Tesla has it covered. Palms Springs and Santa Barbara/Ventura seem like a doable drive in a Bolt.
6.7 mi/kWh x 60 kWh = 402 milesJust another data point... high-efficiency route. 300 miles of range is certainly possible:
Opps... my math game is not strong.6.7 mi/kWh x 60 kWh = 402 miles
Is 60kWh the total capacity of the HVB or the usable capacity? If 60kWh is the total size then wouldn't the usable be closer to 50 or so?402 is already a lot better than the EPA city driving estimate of 255 mile range. How'd you do that? Can you tell us your average speed or total driving time for the ~25 miles? Thanks!
Well, as I said in the video, it's the most efficient route for my 50-mile work commute, and it allowed me to make it back and forth to work in my 2015 Volt without using gasoline. The average speed for the trip is ~30 MPH due to traffic and stops, and the overall elevation change is -300 ft. Other than that, there is not much else to it. The outside temperature was 55 F, so climate control is unnecessary. With the return trip in the Volt, I would end with about 10 kWh used for a 50 mile trip, or 5 miles per kWh A-B-A.402 is already a lot better than the EPA city driving estimate of 255 mile range.

All indications are 60 kWh is usable.Is 60kWh the total capacity of the HVB or the usable capacity? If 60kWh is the total size then wouldn't the usable be closer to 50 or so?
