Denver area to Moab

I bought my bz just a few weeks ago and will be driving with a friend from the Denver area to Moab and back next week. I went from a 2008 Corrolla to this car! Since I've only charged at a public charger once so far and my commute is just 16 miles each way I'm feeling a little nervous but I know it's going to be fun and fine.

My actual question is about how much I can expect to get back using the regenerative braking. Day 1 we're driving up hwy 6 to I-70 and staying a night in Breckenridge. That will be uphill almost all the way. I plan to charge up to 100% before leaving home and I hope we won't have to stop to charge. From Breckenridge it's mostly downhill. If I try not to touch the accelerator how much of the charge should come back? Mainly I'm trying to decide how much I should charge in Breck so I get the most out of that long downhill.

Sounding like a total ev newb because I am. 😃

Multi-night parking

I'm meeting up with friends in Breckenridge to road-trip to Moab. We want to leave one of our cars for a few nights and all drive together. The problem is that we can't find anywhere to park! In the area every place that was suggested (Breck, Frisco, Dillon) only allows parking for one night and then you need to move. I did find the Alpine Lot at Copper for $20 pr night but when I asked them about it they said it would be available "if we're not doing construction". Anyone have any other suggestions? It would be silly for us to drive multiple cars to Moab.
