Mr. Moore made available his Papillion home’s historic dryer outlet as a recharging site when the roadtrip reached the vicinity of Omaha, Nebraska. Note: Recharging from a standard 110 VAC, 12-Amp source would take 27 to 30 hours to replenish the battery pack and significantly slow the progress of the roadtrip.
