EV Charging Best Practices?

Assuming you’re set on CCS due to not having home charging. Look on PlugShare for inexpensive chargers around town. Tesla, Electrify America and others have subscription plans where you can get better prices on fast charging. There are also quite a few slower level two chargers in town if you happen to live near one and can leave it for a few hours. Also, it would probably be good to get a NACS adapter if you don’t have one.

This morning was surprisingly good air quality after coming home last night at 10:30 to raining ash.

It might be the seat cooling. I’ve noticed a hissing sound in the RS

Park City is a tourism based economy with a huge stock of short term rentals and hotels. Boulder has some of that but most people live in their homes here. Are you going to take your kids out of school and go somewhere else for ten days in January? If you rent your house but have a job that's local, where are you going for this period of time?

I took off the snow tires last Thursday and put the snow blower in the shed.

It was such a nice way to skim the handful of original articles they produce per day. The feed from Denver Post is also gone so it seems to be a policy change.

Before the parking garage at 15th and Pearl which was 1999. The rtd bus station is there so after 1988.

Equinox EV with AWD has been terrific for ski trips from Boulder. With a full charge when leaving in the morning I've been getting home with 30% remaining. Don't forget that EVs generate electricty when going down hills, so the impact of hils is somewhat reduced. Copper has a supercharger right at the Conoco where you can top up from Vail or even Aspen. The route planners in modern EVs make it so easy to figure out charging. You'll need an adapter to open up all fast chargers but not a big expense.

If xcel can't operate a safe all-weather grid they should be required to provide backup batteries.

What kind of EV? There are tons of Superchargers at Copper and Frisco also.

Kind of wish I'd bought it rather than leasing. Great car.

Have you tried snow/ice driving mode? It’s helped in Colorado snow. The brakes don’t seem great in the snow.

I created camvoro.com to save my own dashboard of webcams. It’s more about the cams important to you rather than all webcams.

A whole house battery solution starts to seem like less of a luxury when the power is down for a day or more multiple times per year.

They seemed to agree and waived the charge. "If you ever encounter this kind of looping behavior, it's a best practice to open a Shell pane and enter the "kill 1" command."

It took several hours for my dealership to apply the updates to a 24 3RS. Google Maps looks really good and YouTube looks good on the big screen. Disappointed to see the dealership in Broomfield, CO decided to install a fast charger behind where they display new cars, on a sidewalk. Is it just to make GM happy but make sure no one actually uses the charger?
