Help me plan my first EV trip!?! where and when to stop!

[Yodarapper]

Hi,

 

I'll be going on my first long distance trip on my new EV - an ATTO 3 Extended. I am going with the family to Rayong, area where the marriot is. It's about 182km from my starting point to my hotel.
There is no charging available in my hotel, I have asked and they have provided these two links - 1 is a website that is all in Thai and the other is a PEA Volta station that is 30 minutes from my hotel.

 

Can you help me plan my trip please and where you would stop to charge?

 

I would like to go there in one drive without stopping but I think either during my stay or on the way back I would need to charge up.....Im only staying 2 nights. So there in one and then stop on drive back?

 

This is what the hotel provided:

Regarding to your inquiry, please find nearby EV car charging station from attached link below.

Refer to your information, please be informed that we will provide a 1/2 pound complimentary birthday cake on your birthday.

 

How would more expert EV drivers plan this trip?

 

Thank you!

I would ask for the General Manager's email address and ask him if there is a power socket at the hotel where you can park your car and plug it in (the GM will be a foreigner).

 

The JW Marriot at Khao Lak offered this.

I see it is not completely updated, missing a few in Chaiyaphum.

 

Anyway, there must be some app available that have most charging points.

What are you plans at Rayong ?

 

Any ideas on dining outside hotel, or attractions, which may be near or even have a CS a very short distance away.

 

Plan on hitting a shopping center ?

 

Although as suggested, contact hotel, and if allowed, just top up there.  Offer 6-7-8 baht a kWh if they don't simply offer for free.

 

Of course if anyone has to P on the way, as it is a 2.5-3 hr drive, hopefully closer to Rayong, then hit a station that has a CS, as map shows plenty.   PTT / EV Station Pluz will keep them occupied for 15+ minutes.   Just plug in as soon as you pull in.

 

Do a tester before the road trip.
