That $100 only bought him 172 miles of range. That would get him down to Calgary, where he could charge it again, but I’m not sure what happens after that. Heading west into the Rocky Mountains and he’s got a 6 hour drive to Kelowna. Fuel stations are pretty sparse, and I can’t imagine the rapid charger situation is very robust. His adventure is just starting.
It is about 200 miles between Mandan and Fargo North Dakota. That is about four hours of travel along I-94 in perfect weather. It is also double the distance between Mandan, ND and Billiings, MT which takes about 8 hours of driving. With his EV and a very cold day, I am not sure he even made it to Calgary before having to charge his car. Remember that the tweet said he had the heater running while charging.
