Hi folks,
I'm thinking of taking my Rav4EV to South Lake Tahoe over Carson Pass next week.
Anyone driving over the passes to Nevada or Tahoe in one? I"m interestested in how much range i actually *need* to reach South Lake. There's allegedly chargers in Nevada at Stateline so i can get it *back* if i get there.
I'm starting from my house at 3300' elevation near highway 88, and its 71 miles to South Lake. So even including a 3000' elevation change, i'm thinking it requires only about 90 miles of range to get there. Maybe as much as 110 (if you include goign all the way up to Carson Pass at 8000' but you shoudl get some of that back on the other side).
However i'd be interested if anyone has actually *done this* before.
