  6. Two chores done:

    I washed the #NewCar. I should've done it yesterday when the driveway was in the shade or waited until today when the driveway was in the shade but I did it in the sun like an idiot and now I have water spots on it. Something to deal with another time.

    I set up the portable air conditioner in my studio. I made a custom window fitting so I can keep the cat door in place. On a hot day it'll keep my workspace cool, but there's no chance of it cooling the entire 12 x 24' room.

  11. The latest charge stats for my #NewCar. This is via a standard 20 amp wall outlet in my garage. It took 12 hours to charge it from 42% to 100%. It cost me 26Β’. At 100%, I supposedly have an EV-only range of 43 miles. With some rough math I can calculate that it costs about 1Β’ per mile to drive this car in EV only mode.

    It would be interesting to do the math for a year, comparing what it costs to drive this car to what it might cost to drive a car that gets 25 MPG on average. πŸ€”β€¦ (1/2)

  16. I'm not bragging here. I'm just so stoked to be able to see actual numbers like this. I love stats and this stuff is really feeding my interest.

    I avoided an #EV because I didn't like the idea of dealing with charging stations on a #RoadTrip. This week I did a 600 mile road trip starting with a near zero battery charge and didn't need to charge at all. I still got about 41 MPG.

    If you have a place to plug in at night, a plug-in hybrid is the way to go. Otherwise just go #hybrid. #NewCar

  21. I ran my errands in town on the #NewCar's ECO mode, which I believe favors battery power over engine power. I left with 74% charge, got it up to 75% on the way down the hill (I live about 800 feet above the elevation of town), and got home with 42% power. 21 miles. A trip report I'd never noticed before β€” maybe it only appears in ECO mode? β€” claimed my trip mileage was 99.9 GPH. #EV #Hybrid

  26. Found a great high speed USB cable solution for the #NewCar. The curly cord will eliminate the tangle of a long cord while still enabling me to pull my phone out to use it.

  31. If I could afford to have two new cars β€” wouldn't that be sweet! β€” I'd have a much smaller EV-only car for local errands and this plugin hybrid for anything out of town.

    I honestly don't believe that EVs are ready for extensive travel. I know several people here who would disagree with me, but after picking up this car at the dealer with a zero charge, I figured I top it off at the first EV charge station I saw. And then I didn't see ANY on my 650 mi back roads trip home. #NewCar (2/2)

  38. I’ve never owned a new car and my Escape was over 12 years old. With the new gig requiring more road time, it was time.
