2 year aniversary

This post marks the end of my 2nd year driving all electric.  I have driven 4700 miles this year, for a total of 9300 miles without any electrical trouble.  I have been dealing with worn out old car issues not reported here, an upper strut mount, a mirror that just fell out, a steering arm, the flex disc, and now shifter mounts.  I estimate I've saved $1000 total in fuel costs.

Note to self:  odometer was 32741 miles starting

repair ac again

Step 37:  Repair ac.  It is getting hot this summer so I had a local shop repair my air conditioning and it is now blowing cold.  Windows up!

loss-of-commute incident

A wire fell off my charger last night and my car failed to charge.  First loss-of-commute incident in 650 days.  L

Otherwise I would post about how reliable it has been.  I have a clock that captures how long my car has been charged and in the early days I would check it every morning but that habit went away when I realized it never gave me trouble.  I haven't had to work on the car outside of what's on this blog.  My AC still needs to be fixed and I plan to do that soon.
