I just had the most enjoyable zero emission adventure. Kind of a triathalon if you will. I've always wanted to hike the dunginess spit near Sequim wa and go see the lighthouse at the end. I live in Seattle, and have no other car but the leaf. Looking at plugshare, I found a company, Nikola broadband who has a 48 amp evse available downtown for public use. I found some alternates so I could make it home no matter what, threw my bicycle in the back and took off!
I live nearly in downtown seattle, so taking the bainbridge ferry, I arrived in sequim with about 30 percent remaining. Plugged in, took my bike out and rode the 10 miles to the spit, then hiked the 5 miles on the beach to the lighthouse. I made it! Still, it was quite the arduous journey. Got back to a fully charged car and headed home. It's a fery scenic trip, especially the ferry ride!
Even for those of you who aren't into torturing yourself for a new challenge, I highly recommend you puget sound residents to head up to Sequim someday. It's a beautiful town, plenty to do while your car charges. And throw the owner of the evse a couple bucks. He is very gracious to provide the electric car community a relible place to charge right downtown. Thanks.
