    Anyone make the drive from the EA charger in Winslow, AZ to the EA chargers in Tempe?

    I am headed to Tempe next week from Denver, but can't go down I-25 to I-10 since there is no charging between Albuquerque and Demming, NM. That is a gap of 240 miles, and not willing to risk going that on a single charge. So, that means I need to take a right in Albuquerque and head west. Has...
