Caption: News Article! Getting Juice at Vons is as slow as a glacier!
After a long 90 mile trip this morning when I returned home I had plugged the car in for about 45 minutes, and then Julie and I were off for a 35 mile trip with 33% charge indicated. It was an extremely windy day here in San Diego and that cut into our range.
We made our off ramp with zero miles left and about 1 mile from the home we entered turtle mode. We decided to turn around go down the hill and "borrow" a little juice from Vons. We spied an outlet near the vending machines and asked the manager if we could borrow a little juice.
We plugged in for 30 minutes. Just enough time to grab a Thrifty's ice creme inside the Rite-Aid at $1.68 a scoop (what happened to $0.05 a scoop?) Made it home no problem. I promised Julie I would not cut it so close next time.
Funny, still no range anxiety, there are plugs everywhere and it sure beats a tow!
You can see the plug just over the trunk.
Cheers!
With egg on my face, Peder
