I'm showing the car again on Sunday morning. A friend has been bugging me for a couple of years to give a presentation about EM and the ForkenSwift at his weekly "breakfast club" - bunch of guys who get together to discuss a different topic each week over pancakes, bacon, eggs & fresh fruit.
I told him: with the recent spit 'n' polish, now's the time to do it.
It's a 30 km trip each way to the meeting on secondary roads, which will tax the limit of the car's range (went 30-35 km a few times last year on a single charge, but the batteries are a year older now!). This friend lives along the route, so I'll stop for a half hour gulp of electrons on the way, and then plug in for the duration of the meeting/exhibition (maybe 2 hrs).
That'll be enough to drive back to friend's house where I'll park the car for a full recharge and bike the rest of the way home. (Come back and fetch the car later.)
Who said EV's aren't practical!?
