Nothing like a 5,000 mile detour for your car, when you are so close to the Ontario plant!

I think. Jim should be our designated first person to drive a Rav4 EV back to its "home" in Woodstock, Ontario and take a few pics.

That's definitely doable. I'm not sure I have time to do it before winter gets here. With all the stops it would probably be a 6-7 day trip.

I'd go from Ithaca to Rochester, to buffalo, to Woodstock ON.
kiwiguy said:Isn't it only 260 miles from Ithaca to Woodstock?
That would be a 2 day trip.
Huh? What do you mean there aren't dozens??jimbo69ny said:There definitely are not dozens.
There is one along my route. located at 90 Strathroy Crescent, Hamilton, ON L0R 2H5
Yup, J1772 and 14-50, public stations, including fee-based, and I still see loads of stations. I don't know why you aren't able to see them as well. Are you showing public stations??jimbo69ny said:Remove all of the charging stations that we can't use with the Rav 4. Select 14-50 and J1772 stations.
Then look at my route. You will see that I am right.
A 110 outlet and any fast charger isn't going to do much for me.
You are correct that, while there are a lot of 110V and car dealership J1772 chargers along the way, none of them are usable. The Nissan in Auburn isn't going to let you charge. North Face in Victor (about 82 miles) is the closest public charger from Ithaca on your route. There's a charger at Rustic Village in Rochester (along with some car dealership chargers that you can't use), and then nothing until Williamsville where there are several possibilities. Buffalo also has a lot of possibilities, as does Niagra Falls. Ontario has chargers, but most look like you need to be a guest at a hotel or it's another car dealership.jimbo69ny said:Remove all of the charging stations that we can't use with the Rav 4.

Man, you guys are seriously "glass half full"! Instead of focusing on the charging stations at competing dealerships, take note of all the public stations at markets, malls and parking garages (like in Rochester and Niagara Falls). It's nice to have things filling out for us! And you'll find the same in California too – lots of dealership stations but also growing numbers of more public ones. This is good!

But we dont have as many charging stations as you guys in Cali. Id have to check again but I am pretty sure there isnt a place to charge half way, if even in fact it is only 260 miles.
