pitstop 2. quick charge up at one of the brand new 180kw BCHydro chargers in Sydney at the east end of the YYJ runway!
Our Kona maxes out at 77kw. We'll charge to 80 or so. Only 212km to get back home.
oh wait! Wifey just flew right over us! 😂 ✈️
Apparently she's a little early. Quick charge indeed!

The “sticker range” advertised on the lot for our new 2019 Hyundai Kona EV was 420km.
The battery was replaced under recall at around 40,000km in 2022 a couple months before we went on an epic 12,000km Pacific-Atlantic-Pacifc cross Canada adventure.
Fast forward to today. The car is at 226,000km and I am headed 225km down to Victoria to bring my wife home from the Airport.
Car is ready. 100% charge. 468km on the rangeOmeter. That is city driving so I don’t expect to get that range at highway speeds. I’ll top it up in Sydney before heading home. This was always our main criteria. Can we drive to Victoria comfortably.
Yep. No problem. Even 200,000km later!
Range anxiety is a myth foisted on you by the oil industry. They are gas lighting the world into believing we are the problem, evs are the problem, electric systems are the problem.
They are the problem. Them. Not us. Them. They need to end.
