Why it ran this way

The longest leg since Kansas: UT-9 to I-15, down the Virgin River Gorge where the interstate threads the cliffs, across the Arizona strip past Mesquite, over Mormon Mesa, and into Las Vegas with the dash reading 110 F, the hottest ambient of the trip. 147.7 mi on 114 kWh, 1.29 mi/kWh towing at 49 mph average, a net 1,500 ft descent traded against desert-furnace air density and A/C load. The free-charging network finally reaches the route again: RAN stalls at Town Square.
