So the reason why Toyota EV's are ugly is because you should buy a Volkswagen if you want an EV?

Anyhow, good news. It looks like we're going to be able to stay in our current place from here on out that previously had a 40A 240V EVSE. The wires are still there, so it could easily be converted back if we ever get an EV again.

The problem will be the hundreds of miles to anywhere over several steep, sometimes snowy mountain passes. I'll have to look again, but there don't seem to be any quick charging stations for over 200 miles, maybe 300, on the way to the in-laws' for the first part of the 600 mile trip.

But if we made a 24kWh Nissan Leaf work before then I'm sure we can make another EV work. I just have to figure out how to pack the kids into the back of an Aptera.
