    Trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway

    I drove a leg of the Blue Ridge Parkway last weekend and thought I'd share some of the details in case anyone else wanted to make the trip. I charged to 80% at the Circle K just off I-77, it's 50kW and only has one stall, but was open when I went. Then got on the BRP near the VA boarder. I...

    Lots of DCFC Coming Soon in NC

    Was browsing PlugShare earlier and noticed a ton of stations coming soon to NC (wrenches on the map below). It seems like most of the stations are 50-63kW, although some in the Triad and Triangle look to be 100-160kW. Based on the comments, construction hasn't started anywhere yet. Did some...

    Test Drives in Non-CARB States

    I met with my dealer on Friday to go over my order and what comes next. Unsurprisingly, he didn't have many specific details about schedules or anything, but he did bring up a good point. Since NC isn't a CARB state he didn't know if/when he would get a Mach E to use for test drives or as a...
