Posted March 19, 2019 So I just took my first road trip in my electric car. When I mapped out the route, it took me by chargers along the way: Take this highway, stop in this town, charge for 20 minutes. Go to the next spot and stop and charge for an hour there. I just hopped from charger to charger. It was very useful. It made me think that this map should exist for seeing ladies along the way: Take I70 West to Glenwood. Stop and see Trina for 30 minutes. Keep going until you get to Grand Junction. Stop and see Serafina for an hour. Keep going to Green River, Utah... Etc I think it could work. I don't know if "recharged" is the state that I'd arrive in, but I bet I'd arrive in a pretty good mood! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 21, 2019 "Green Book" is an updated version of Driving Miss Daisy, no wonder the Academy liked it. Read the "real" Green Book, familiarize yourselves with the black history behind it. And stop the white washing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the plan. I'll be making several trips to let my step mom get some rest. There's a ton of after-care involved and she'll need the help! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 22, 2019 Say....looking at the cost of good electric cars......I'm curious. How much does a "charge" cost?? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is the cost to purchase from a charging station. And then there is the cost to create and provide the electricity for charging. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2019 21 hours ago, Admiral C said: Say....looking at the cost of good electric cars......I'm curious. How much does a "charge" cost?? The cost of charge depends on several variables: The top three contributors are (1) the charging cost at the particular charging station. (In my area at a public charger it runs $.50 per Kwh); (2) the capacity of the battery in kilowatts, and (3) the duration of .the charge. A full charge--depending on battery capacity--can run $8 - $10, and that's for a BIG battery (think Tesla). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on the area because rates differ from place to place, but I can generally charge from 10% to full (300-ish miles of range ) for about $10 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t know how they work. I assumed the companies that provided charging stations for their employees did not charge their employees. What about Whole Foods, do they charge? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23, 2019 That looks more like a fembot Kaduk. If a provider had a charging station at their place, the neighbors wouldn't think twice about cars coming and going. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
