EV group meetup
« on: March 05, 2016, 06:47:21 PM »
I just did a 55 mile ride (110 mile round trip) for a local EV club meetup. Temps were around 35f. On arrival my gauge said there was 25% battery left. After about 2 hours of charging, she was up to 92% and made the trip home with no problems. Lots of pictures are posted on the group's page.

Hint: I am the one wearing the high viz yellow jacket.

Nice. L2 charging, even if not instant, really helps expand the circle of travel.

Is that your longest ride to date?

On the Brammo, yeah that is my longest ride yet. Kept to the back roads and did my best to keep the speed below 50mph to conserve battery. I am sure the cold weather did not help at all either. Come Spring, I will probably do the same ride again to see how big of a difference it makes.
