Getting a Charge Out of the Park

For a number of years, I've considered walking an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Whereas I used to exit directly from the front door of my building, today I found myself driving up to Queen's Park first.



My change of choice has to do with my new vehicle. Up at Queen's Park the city installed several EV chargers using excess power available on the street lighting circuit. Rather than lighting up the night, the power went into my KONA battery. Access to public charging is important for me due to the fact my condo does not yet have EV accessible facilities. While enjoying the park, I can stay plugged into the Level 2 power. I went from 84% to 93% battery charge in an hour. The GOM shows about 450 KM of range now.

Thank you, New Westminster! Your beautiful environment and free hydroelectric power really allow me to enjoy nature.
