My EV had a charge of 77%, which is far more than I needed for tomorrow's little trip. At around noon, we are going to ride out to Golden Ears Park, specifically to the Alouette Lake campground. Tim rode his motorcycle out to camp for the week at the popular provincial park. Tomorrow, Jiwan will come out to New West after a morning, doctor's visit and will come along with Jay and me. The whole trip will be around 120 km. We plan on bringing some picnic things for a lunchtime visit.
Although my Kona could have travelled about 400 km on what was in my battery, I wanted to see if the Level 2 chargers were still working up at City Hall in New Westminster. I hadn't checked since last summer. I figured I could go see and top up Kimchi with a bit more juice on the slow 240v, Flo-branded charging provided by the city. This is how they charge up a couple of city vehicles and they can be accessed by the public too for a couple of bucks an hour.
I found both spaces were empty so I plugged in. Then, I walked home through Tipperary Park and down the hill. It has already been one hour. I'll go sit in the hot tub for a little while because Jay is at the Bonsor Rec Center for senior gym hours. I can walk back up the hill. It'll take about 10 minutes to do so. I can drive the car back after its second hour.
