> It had a 100 mile max range. I drove it from LA to Seattle without major issue.

uhhhhhhhh, you stopped to charge every ~2 hours (12 charging stops minimum)?

Yes. It’s a camper van. I took five days to do the trip, mostly on 101.

It was an older conversion, not intended for long range travel. This is a once a year thing to relocate from Joshua Tree to the Olympic Peninsula.

I made a snack or took a quick nap in the back when charging. Travel days were 1-2 charge stops.

One problem with such a small battery is how quickly it charged. I was often done charging before I could make food, eat, and do dishes.
