Free rent, and I go to 2 schools.

I needed a few classes before pro school and they were either not available or full...

I will be going to Oregon State full time next year (where I am currently driving to.)

Today I found cafe electric (has anyone heard of them?)
They make controllers for DIY EV's and more. I wanted to see if I could shadow or intern there, but I can't find the building

This project isn't because of my drive;

For me it's about the experience and knowledge I will gain. On a side note, I think our whole road system needs to be reworked. People are very wasteful, and I would really like to start my life trying to be self sufficient. I feel the governments of all nations are taking more and more freedoms away from us.

I figured this might be a good starting point.

It's not efficient to drive 40 miles to and from school, but I only drive 3 times a week.

I won't lie, I also drive to salem on the weekends etc because that is where my girlfriend lives. (about 60 miles away)

I can recharge there and also at my house.

At my other school in Eugene, they do have charging stations, and they might have some in Corvallis too, but I am not really sure...
