new record - and those who must be punished

This'll be a quick post as duty calls today... but some excitement for sure.

First - yesterday. I headed into Boulder for a midday climb above the Chautauqua Meadow. One of the awesome aspects of traveling to this locale with Zippy - they have an EV charging station which is "free." Actually, it is paid for with the EXTRA fee that I pay to register an EV in Colorado. Seriously - we pay an extra $50, not less for a lower impact car - more. Sometimes the station at this location isn't available - there are a lot of EVs in Boulder... including this one I guess. What you aren't appreciating is that this pickup truck must be electric, hence feeling entitled to park in this spot... and since it doesn't need the power cord, it must be the first vehicle on the planet to support inductive charging... or this person is an asshole.

As for this morning's drive - a new consumption record coming down the mtn - 35.7 mi/kWh! The warmer temp must have something to do with this.


  • Distance: 27 miles
  • Duration: 62 minutes
  • Average Speed: 27.5 mph
  • Consumption (mi/kWh): 6.8 (according to the dashboard) / 6.1 (according to the app)
  • Recuperation (mi/kWh): 15.5
  • Temperature: 54
