EV Road Trip – Pre car check – Find out about different Electric Vehicle Chargers

Posted in Membership

Today we looked through the Island Way car to make sure I had all the charger attachments I would need for the road trip tomorrow.

Pepper and I will be driving through Washington checking out solar sites, microgrids, wind farms and dams – and figuring out how to manage an electric vehicle. Read the itinerary here: https://www.opalco.com/follow-opalcos-ev-road-trip-in-october-a-carbon-free-adventure/2021/09/. Tomorrow we will visit Snohomish PUD and their microgrid in Arlington and a Bonneville Power Association transmission substation.
