Went off on two very important errands today, and stopped again at the Pru to charge. This time I watched the ChargePoint web site live - you can see how much power the car is consuming.

Wanting to beat traffic out of Boston, I got a bit antsy and left before the car had finished charging.  On the highway home it was EXTREMELY windy, and even though I tried to moderate my speed it still chewed up a bunch of juice.
When I finally got off  the highway, I looked at my miles remaining on the NAV computer and charge percent remaining and it was just about 1-to-1, so I made the decision to skip the Chilli’s at that exit that had a charger and head for home.

I ALMOST made it :-P
I learned several VERY IMPORTANT lessons today:
1) Don't count on 1 mile for every 1% of battery left, especially under 20% on WINDY days! :-\
2) BMW Road Side assistance is not going to save you when you live in farm country like me so...
3) Always have a backup plan: AAA Gold ;-)
4) If you end up at 0% battery and "reduced" drive mode, pull over and save your power so you can get the car in and out of NEUTRAL for the nice flatbed tow truck driver that comes to save your ARSE! ;-) LoL

Only took me about 3 hours to get that last mile to my house.... SO CLOSE!
