I stopped in Bakersfield (charger at a Panera), and Barstow (chargers at Walmart) when going between SJ and Vegas.

You have both stations marked, and it's trivial to get between them in a Taycan, trusting you aren't trying to cut it close charging. The chargers in Barstow are 350kW, and the ones in Bakersfield are 150kW. It's very possible that the charger in Bakersfield will be full, as there aren't many there and it's in town if you get there in the middle of the day.

On I-5 I stop at the charger near Firebaugh that's north of the one you have planned. From there I can get all the way to Sunnyvale, without stopping at the Gilroy Premium Outlets. (which depending on which day you are there may be jammed full)

Agreed on the recommendation for Firebaugh. I will note that at least one of the chargers in Bakersfield by the Panera is in fact 350 kW.

I saw the Hi Sahara Oasis supposedly opened up April 7 - has anyone tried it?
