    Well, I made it past the Mackinaw Bridge, charged and currently charging my car in Ann Arbor, Mi. and Escanaba Mi using the motel's plug in the room. I don't see what difference it makes since so far I've traveled 420 miles getting 55.1 MPG, That extra 30 miles EV at the start of the trip contributes a negligible amount of MPG to the overall average.

    don't get too worked up over numbers on your trip, my recent 900 miles roundtrip dropped my lifetime mpg (4700 miles) from ~ 125 to 100, oh well ... safe travels!

    How many days it will take you to complete this trip? Seems like once in a lifetime kind of journey " US‑2 is truly the most stunning and unforgettable, not to mention longest, of all the great transcontinental road trips". Keep posting some nice pictures, along the route, as it may inspire others.

    Looks like you're saving tons of dough on the motel rooms.
