@Jeff10049 you may have already said but I am to lazy to look. Do you just plug it into a 110 plug? Also can you have a 220 plug installed in your garage for faster charging?
it comes with a 110 charger. I bought a 220 off amazon with a 14-50 style plug as i have that at work and at home for the air compressor. The 110 charger will only keep up with about 30 miles a day of driving as it takes over 20 hours to charge from 0 to 100% on 110 so unless you don't drive much or everyday you need a level 2 charger. Level 2 only takes 4 hours or less. Also the car can accept dc fast charge I tried one the other day to see how it worked it was a charge point station and charged at 50kw I added like 20 miles of range in a couple of minuts. But it cost more than gasoline if your on the road and in a hurry its fine but other than that I don't know.
Sounds like that fast charger is the equivalent of an emergency 5 gallons of gas. I think part of owning an electric is figuring out the what the infrastructure is & how to best use it. Thanks for your insights on your car ownership. I find it interesting.
Curb parking*, no garage = no electric cars in my future. *not necessarily right in front of my house, either.
Man I hate street parking, I feel for you. Back when I was a yute someone hit my freshly fixed up & painted VW beetle so hard they knocked it onto the sidewalk. Back on topic, electrical cars...... I once owned a 1960 Mercury Comet electric. That's right I'd put dad's battery charger on it every night so I could head to work in the morning. I'd get about 30 miles before it would die on the side of the road. The gas mileage was better than the battery mileage. Once I installed a nice rebuild generator it worked like a normal car.
Certainly looks different without the yellow......does it work well as a snow car? Whatever we replace the Wife's Audi Allroad with she will require it to have all wheel drive - and we don't usually get the same amount of snow your guys do in Bend
Time to start building your wife a Twini. I know you can do it. Pretty sure the electrical MINI only comes in a FWD version. I'd wonder how those low rolling resistance tires would work in cold weather. Maybe a plug in hybrid would work. Does the Countryguyman come that way?
I have not had it long enough to know. It is only FWD my guess is it will be pretty good but I also have other stuff to drive if needed. The countryman plug in hybrid that crashton mentioned can be AWD and they just increased the electric-only range.
