Lol--after 15 years I finally resurrected my 1978 Kawasaki KZ400 "Reloaded"! I put nearly 50 miles on it today but for some reason the battery wasn't charging so I had to park it and put it on charge. I wonder what's wrong with it? ;)
245 miles today, the most #ElectricVehicle driving I've done in a day. Plenty for me, if not a lot by some folks' standard. One 20 minute charge. Easy peasy.
So I'm having to park closer to the wall of our driveway as my Dad now has a Van he uses for work which is taking up room.
Side effect being it was a rather tight squish plugging the cable for my car to charge in.
To resolve this I've made it semi teathered, a few cable clips from Screwfix and a 3D Printed holder for the cable and voila. It actually looks rather neat.
Downside is I need to get a second cable for public charging, which I rarely do.
Excellent performance from our #SolarPanels the last couple of days. Has powered most of our household usage, and despite a couple of short trips the #ElectricVehicle has gone from 60 to 88% charge. Exported a few kWh too.
The rest of the family ventured out of electric-car friendly #Quebec on a road trip to #NYC some notes:
Many Electrify America chargers are at VW dealers remote from teenage-interesting services.
Make sure you have roaming with unlimited data -the charger apps all require lots.
In the city, many of the public chargers are inside pay-for-parking garages. They had to drive to New Jersey to find an accessible fast DC charger (and pay the bridge toll)... #EV#ElectricVehicle
I booked an #ElectricVehicle to use on holiday in Spain. Not for environmental reasons - that would be pretty hollow since we're flying there - but because it was the cheapest option for a reasonable sized car. I doubt we'll be doing many mile..., er kilometers but anyone know how public charging in Catalonia compares to the UK?
