<\/a><\/p>\nand finally, 30,000 Miles:<\/p>\n
So, what’s been up.<\/p>\n Well, I TRIED to meet up with the West Coast Active E Facebook folks in Morro Bay on April 7, 2013. However, since I was busy on Saturday and didn’t head out for a Range Insane 240 mile drive from home to where the meet up is, I decided to ICE it with my BMW 328iC. I guess we run what is known as a hybrid garage and I figure that to supplement the Active E, a convertible and SUV are definitely two types of ICE vehicles that are not quite EV ready (as of April 2013).<\/p>\n So, to match some of the capabilities of the Active E, I had to wire up my portable Sirius radio to the convertible and wired it up.<\/p>\n As I documented in other locations, the dangers of going to a FB meetup when I don’t have FB is that when plans change, I may not be updated. So, after driving 240 miles one way, I missed the Active E folks by about 15 minutes<\/a>. I actually got to see Mariel and Edison<\/a> drive by as I spoke to Tom Moloughney<\/a> to see if he can get me in touch with the West Coast guys. At least it was a beautiful California day and my wife and I had a fun drive with the top down for a bit of the journey!<\/p>\n The day after the meetup, dropped off the car for 30,000 mile service, a little early at 29,650.<\/p>\n This service took a little longer than the 25,000 mile service as I actually had a transmission malfunction a few weeks ago that required me to go to the battery switch to reset it. Unfortunately, even after four days in service, they didn’t find anything “wrong” with the car.<\/p>\n So, got the car back.<\/p>\n Did a little driving around and got to 30k. <\/p>\n So, what have I learned this past 10,000 miles… I really enjoy EVs and I am really intrigued by the new Fiat 500e and so happy to live in California where Fiat is offering this vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One less than 30,000 Miles: and finally, 30,000 Miles: So, what’s been up.
