I understand the concepts of "range anxiety" and "go with what you know", but couldn't you easily only do 3 stops? Or aren't any of the DCFCs on the bay-side of the Altamont convenient for where you are headed?
There are obviously a slew in Livermore-Pleasanton for out-and-back stops, but couldn't a third (between 2 stops in Livermore) easily be one of :
- Lucky San Leandro (just before heading back up the pass) - 4 EVgo units off I-580 @ Fairmont
- Lafayette Sq (downtown OAK) - 4 EVgo units off I-880, 10th St
- Whole foods, 230 Bay PL (OAK, just N of L Merritt, near I-980&I-580) - 4 EVgo units
(Again, I don't know where in OAK you are headed, taking I-880 or I-580, or neither.)
PS:
- soon, an EA site in Castro Valley - 3 units
- soon, an EA site SE of L Merritt (4 units), 18th St
- soon, an EVgo site NE of L Merritt (6 units) , Lake Park Ave just off I-580
- EA just opened a 6-unit site on the Alameda
