    I have noticed our Mid-Atlantic area has superchargers concentrated in the urban areas and along the major interstate toll roads at the service stations. Nice that I'll be able to use them (if they have the caps on them for CCS) for my new electric car which is CCS compliant. The problem is in...

    Lol! Thank you! I'm more than willing to take into consideration the consensus of opinion from those on this forum as to whether the black cover or a painted cover would look best!

    My new Gazelle arrived home yesterday looking very stylish with its "Rivian blue" paint job all sparkling and fresh, just like a new car. All told it took not quite 2 months from start to finish for the bike shop to disassemble the bike, send the frame to an automotive paint shop to be painted...

    I hadn't planned on riding 20 miles yesterday. It just sorta...happened. I had a small slot of time between running errands and appointments, and with the unexpected stunningly warm (64°f) and clear weather it was just logical to ride outside rather than on the trainer in the living room. The...

    50 minute bike ride today in Catalonia in northeastern Spain. Started at the Castell Monestir de St.Miquel d'Escoenalbou, and rode down the mountain to the town of Tarragorna and from there along the bike path next to the lake. Beautiful scenery, beautiful weather, great roads. Meanwhile, at...

    It's actually the Sun. 🌞I guess the brilliant object didn't translate that well from LED television to my cell phone camera. Sorry about that!

    Its a very simple few clicks into the program. You can add your car at any EVgo charging station. Next time you stop for a charge, before you plug in, simply click you want to add your car. All you need is the VIN. Two screens later, your car is now in AutoCharge+. Easy.

    One really nice perk for my new Ariya was the inclusion of a year's free unlimited charging from EVgo. The Ariya was also listed among a very few select EVs to be part of EVgo's new Autocharge+ program for "plug and charge" requiring no cards, no apps.. Once the car and any elected Ego station...

    @Mulezen My daffodils started poking their stems up from the ground a few weeks ago here in Northern Virginia. Wasn't aware of it until my next door neighbor said hers were popping already. And the days have been getting steadily warmer. Three days ago our absentee neighbor decided he wanted...

    One day you might see mine....if I ever get it. I'll know by the end of the month when Rivian sends out their email (to those of us waiting) when I might expect to possibly take delivery. Maybe. In the meantime I'm enjoying the heck out of the new Ariya. It is a NICE luxury quality electric...

    One of the conditions I set for him getting the Leaf was having Level 2 for charging, which he is installing himself. I tried Level 1 - once. Hated it. We live rural so with destinations far removed we need the miles to be replaced quickly. Level 1 is unfortunately too slow.

    We are now (for a short time)" a 2 EV car family, both Nissans. I was in the right place at the right time with a wad of cash in hand (robbed from my Rivian fund) with the right salesperson willing to fight for me to be first in line to buy a 2023 Ariya Premiere - the launch edition of the...

    Charging Ebikes on EV Charging stations

    At the current state of development, a properly maintained EV battery that has been protected via thermal management from hot climate conditions will easily last 300,000 miles or more without any need for maintenance. Unlike a car engine which historically degrades from use and time (ie things...
