Leg three — the road home. We left Pleasant Point, Nova Scotia, on Thursday morning with 87 percent and 410 kilometres of range, heading for Cambridge, Ontario.
Shediac, New Brunswick — 314.8 kilometres from Pleasant Point, with a short stop at Bayfield, where the battery read 41 percent. We charged here and left at 88 percent. This charge wasn't metered, so it isn't counted in our totals.
Saint-André, New Brunswick, late in the evening. 335.7 kilometres from Shediac, arriving at 23 percent. NB Power put in 77.1 kilowatt-hours for .93 — 59.6 cents a kilowatt-hour, the dearest of the way home. We left just after midnight at 81 percent.
Through the night along the St. Lawrence to Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies, Québec — 245 kilometres, down to 25 percent at six in the morning. A Tesla Supercharger put in 88.24 kilowatt-hours for .58 in 44 minutes. We left at 89 percent.
Drummondville, Québec — 247.8 kilometres from Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies. Another Tesla Supercharger: 70.9 kilowatt-hours for .56, in 38 minutes — the quickest charge of the leg. We left at 90 percent.
The longest run of the leg: 390.5 kilometres from Drummondville to Kingston, Ontario. 86.26 kilowatt-hours for .36, in 45 minutes, and we left at 80 percent — enough to reach home.
Mississauga, Ontario — 275.9 kilometres from Kingston, with 30 percent left. That was the last reading of the trip; the short drive home to Cambridge wasn't logged.
That was leg three, measured from Pleasant Point to our last reading at Mississauga: 1,809.7 kilometres in 33 hours and 26 minutes. Four metered charges: 322.5 kilowatt-hours for 7.43 — 39.5 cents a kilowatt-hour. The Shediac charge and the charge at home weren't metered and aren't counted.
Newfoundland by Lightning, start to finish: Cambridge to Pleasant Point, around Newfoundland and back, then home. 6,481 kilometres logged across three legs, from the 21st of August to the 4th of September.
What did the charging cost? Our receipts add up to 6.24 — 1.89, 6.92 and 7.43 across the three legs. A few charges have no receipt, including two nights in Newfoundland and Shediac on the way home, so that's a recorded subtotal, not the whole bill.
The energy. Our receipts show 1,284.3 kilowatt-hours bought on the road, at 41.8 cents a kilowatt-hour on average. Charges that weren't metered aren't counted.
A few records from the road. The lowest battery: five percent, arriving in Drummondville on the way east. The dearest electricity: 83.3 cents a kilowatt-hour at Marystown, Newfoundland. The cheapest: 29 cents at a Tesla Supercharger in Québec. The longest run home: 390.5 kilometres, Drummondville to Kingston. And one charger we couldn't use at all, at Témiscouata.
That was Newfoundland by Lightning — an electric pickup from Ontario to Newfoundland and back. 6,481 kilometres logged, the ferries, the charging stops, and 6.24 in charging on our receipts. Thank you for riding along. Would you take an EV to Newfoundland?
