This morning, the DC charger was not occupied when we went grocery shopping at the closest Canadian Superstore in Coquitlam. This was supposed to be the plan. It is great to be able to fill up to 80% while picking up our food supply for the week. I had to set my phone timer and come out before we were done as I already had quite a bit of juice in the Kona's battery pack.
It is gratifying knowing that falling water generates my energy for zipping around on the roads of the Lower Mainland. At this point all the BC Hydro DC chargers are free. This will encourage the sales of EVs and our provincial electricity company is ensuring market share of future transportation options. Of course, unlike petrol which encourages global conflict and environmental degradation, electricity can be created from various sources. If I had a typical house with a large enough roof, I'd invest in solar panels and make my own means of motion from sunshine.
