LA to the bay

Has anyone ever attempted this road trip in their BEV? Los Angeles --> Bay Area? I'm sure you can in your REX.

Sounds like one brave sole attempted and was successful in a bev. 12hrs is rough but not as bad as I thought.

I've done 280 miles in my i3 BEV on a casual Saturday. If I had the free time I would do a 400 mile trip. Highway 101 has enough CSS charger to make the trip. Highway 99 has more CSS chargers to choose from, but not as scenic. Interstate 5 has almost no CSS chargers and is only possible for Tesla's with their Supercharger network.

Sounds like a fun drive.
