Was thinking as its pretty much point to point NC Beach Towns to Raleigh maybe they don't want to stop to charge the car. Going slower might net them the same travel time as going faster & charging.
Looks like gaps in the coverage. My route back is:
Ocean Isle Beach Road
Ocean Highway #17
I 140
I 40
I 440
I 87
I 540
Six Forks Exit

Based on this you can do the trip without having to charge if you can plug in at your destination. You'll arrive with about 60 miles of range (20%). A regular AC outlet will give you 3 MPH of range. This works just fine if the car is going to be spending most of its time sitting.
