A quick note of thanks to the Beatles for inspiring the title for this series of posts. This is the first in a series of posts written about our trip that will be published four weeks to the day of the trip.

So, the day is here. April 30, 2015. In about three hours, Tesla’s event starts, which means the announcement will probably be about 30 minutes to an hour later.

I’ve never really given much thought to our addiction to Oil and Gas. As I’ve mentioned previously, I joined the rEVolution because I had a few goals initially: I wanted to get on the HOV lane by myself. After all, time is money. The EVs that we’ve chosen for our garage are all pretty fun … Continue reading Memorial Day 2014… (as much a soapbox as you’ll ever see from me)
Regular readers will be stunned to see the term CHAdeMO pop up in a post on is site. After all, neither the Active E, Tesla Roadster, and, currently, the Model S have no CHAdeMO enabled. However, those aren’t the only electric vehicles in the family. So, this past Satuday, my mom came over to visit … Continue reading First CHAdeMO quick charge
In honor of Swingers… Vegas Baby, Vegas. A week ago was a rite of passage for my EV ownership experience. (Not that I’ve driven any longer than my first weekend with the Model S that I wrote about on my blog a few months ago (start here).) The first was our Model S just … Continue reading Vegas Baby, Vegas
