We made it and it was a lot of fun. Over 16,000km, one blown trailer tire, 130 charging stops, and a lot of learning about charging and different terrain and driving styles.

You can see all the data and experiences on my blog. I logged all of our charging stops so there is tons of information there including CO2 emissions from each province.
Biggest takeaways for us was that Plugshare is amazing and speed and geography make a huge difference for range. The trailer took away about 30-50% of our range but there were still enough chargers to make it worry free for the most part.
The most important part was it was a lot of fun and the regular stops did not put a downer on the trip in general. Lots of time to have a meal, or stretch the legs or explore the vicinity of a charger.
Oh and we did all of this with a spent rear passenger side shock. I assume both rear shocks are done now, but it didn't impact our journey in a serious way.
