SoCal EV Meet Up Saturday, June 27, 8am - 11am, Santa Ana

Sounds like a plan.

I do need drive off my path on my way home, but that won't matter if I utilize your idea (cruise control) & your 40 amp. I'm certain I will use less charge time at your place than originally expected. Feel free to cut my use time on Car Charging Matrix to 1.5 hours (4:30-6pm). I might even use less, it all depends what is on the gauge when I arrive. That should give you flexibility to share the stall with others.

May I bring something? Ice, Beverages, Chips, Food, etc.

Thank you very much!

Baker Electric Solar - these guys put in my system 2 years ago and they pay me $400 every time a referral buys their system, so I'm pretty much a shameless salesman here ;-)

Tony,

One of the white RAV4 EV's had a Tesla Inside sticker on the back. Is that your car? Do you know where/how someone could get one of those stickers?

Your house looks beautiful!

Tony,

Looks like it was quite a party. You know how to put on the dog!

 

[Khaihon]

Thanks for the party and the late charging. Hope you got some nice sleep before the Girl Scouts made their way over. I was only able to charge it to 67% when I left (13 bars) but at 50mph on cruise, I was able to make a total of 115 miles without stopping to charge. Didnt even turtle it at the end (did get VLB though). This car just keeps getting more and more impressive.

Ya, the Rav4 EV is something!

You should have been at over 4 miles per kWh at that speed:

115 miles / (41.8kWh * 0.67) = 4.1 miles per kWh

Thanks, and yep, that's my car.

The "Tesla Inside" decal is 7 inches X 6.2 inches and usually we do it in the dark blue color but it can be done in other colors too. This size is $10.90 including tax. If we mail it the total cost is $15.00 including tax.

Looks like you all had a great time. Too bad I was unable to make it down.
