It'd been quite a while since I last plugged in the car. Even though several weeks had passed, I still had around 53% of my battery left. But, when I saw that it was sunny, I drove up to Queen's Park to plug into the quick DC chargers. I generally charge to around 81% on quick chargers. That took an unusual 35 minutes today as the weather is getting a bit cooler and lower temperatures can add to charging times! I really enjoyed my walk though. My car gets green power, and I get healthy exercise.
As I was driving away, I thought we might go on a trip tomorrow. Humm. The weather forecast shows a nice sunny break tomorrow. I am not sure if I've ever completely charged this two-year-old battery, ever! Why not fill it up, so to speak?
So when driving past New Westminster City Hall, I pulled in at Level 2 (240v) chargers. That is only several blocks from the apartment but on a very steep hill. The maximum time limit for charging at that location is two hours. I walked down the hill and went for a swim at home. I still have another hour left. By then, my Hyundai Kona's battery should be completely full. Today's total cost will be less than $US 7.50 for around 240 km of electricity. A bonus is I got in some exercise too!
