Drove from NoVA to the NW part of SC today in my 22 Bolt EUV. I used ABRP to route to chargers and put the addresses into Google maps to check reviews and GPS me there. The car is J1772/CCS, but I bought an adapter ahead of time to make use of Tesla/NACS chargers.
Unfortunately, this car only has a max charge rate of 55kW, so my refueling stops are either more frequent or longer than I would like, but I don't do road trips often and this car was half the price of the ioniq I wanted.
I had one issue today. A Tesla supercharger I stopped at just wouldn't initialize the charge. I even tried plugging into another one right next to it, but no dice. I've since learned that V2 superchargers won't work with my car even with an adapter, so I guess that's what that one was? I have no way of knowing. ABRP and Google maps don't specify. Maybe the Tesla app does? Thankfully, there was an Electric America charger just a couple miles away, but I was pretty stressed out since I was pretty well drained and didn't know where I was.
The hotel we're at has level 2 chargers, so I shouldn't need to deal with unfamiliar chargers again until we head back to NoVA. In the meantime, I've deselected NACS chargers from my ABRP vehicle options. It's possible that my adapter just died after only a few successful uses, but the location I had an issue with had a review of somebody else being unable to charge, so I think it's just that V2 issue.
In summary, the difference has been that it takes a little longer, it takes a little more planning and preparing, and there is a risk of some anxiety, but it's easier to drive, less chance of "car trouble" events, and especially right now it is significantly cheaper to refuel. But get something that accepts at least 100kW charging lol. I think the ioniq does like 240kW? With that, you basically plug in, use the bathroom, grab a coffee, and you're ready to go.
I’m using PlugShare doing a 1500 mile round trip in the Southwest. A major reason is I’m towing an RV and plug share lets me set my max range which is very different than without towing.
In plug share I map the route, then it gives me all the chargers on that route in the range of my truck. I pick one then out gives me the next charger on the route in my range. Repeat till I get to the destination.
The other thing plug share does is tell me when I click on a Tesla station if it’s Tesla only or open to others. Invaluable info as I cruise through Texas oil country with chargers almost beyond my range where I might not have enough juice to make it to another.
