I love owning and driving an electric vehicle. I got our Hyundai Kona Electric last year. My vehicle helped British Columbia achieve a 9% EV share of light-vehicle sales in 2019. By 2040 all new vehicles sold in our province will have to be electric by law.
At last, a friend in WA state picked up a Chevy Spark as an extra vehicle for running errands. It feels nice to see increasing EV adoption. I do see a great many types of electric vehicles at charging stations here in BC. As I cannot charge overnight in my condo, I must visit public options. However, I could not remember seeing a Spark on the local roads.
Today was typical. My car was sitting at about a 69% charge. We visited the main park in my city for a bit of exercise. Might as well plug in while here, I decided. We walked a loop of about two kilometers while Kimchi was plugged into one of the two fast, DC charging stations. Interestingly, a Chevy Spark was at the other charger!
After our little hike through the rose garden, by Centennial Hall, and along the walking path, the Spark had gone. We also unplugged at 83% and came home. The car had accepted enough free electrons for around eighty kilometers of cooler-weather driving.
