Finally decided to bite the bullet and jump in and start blogging about the ActiveE lifestyle..
I guess the biggest thing that I found out after 6 weeks of living with an All Electric ActiveE BMW is that the range is really unlimited, as long as you have ACCESS to charge AND the TIME to charge.
So far
- I’ve had the car in the shop from Day 5-8 for a problem well documented on the BMW ActiveE Forums – http://forum.bmwactivatethefuture.com/showthread.php?t=864
- I’ve lost 2 lbs from walking 1.5 miles RT every day to the nearest available Level 2 charger at my work.
- I’ve had one really scary time on the I-5 freeway where I lost the transmission, and had to restart (ActiveE forums again – http://forum.bmwactivatethefuture.com/showpost.php?p=4982&postcount=104)
- Ever since we’ve gotten the car, I, and other members of the family, have had the song Electric Slide in our head… Specifically, the refrain “It’s Electric…” the Marcia Griffiths song, but here are some links [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Slide or http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Electric+Slide]
- I’ve been posting more pics on my Flickr stream than anywhere else… So, here it is ActiveE Flickr Set)
Needless to say, I’m not really environmental. More mental than anything else.
I’ll be posting more eventually, but really this might just end up like my other cobwebsite (http://www.pascual.com/)
