A (somewhat) live journal of my move to an electric vehicle, hoping to give others some insight if they want to make the plunge.
Who can resist a good deal? Certainly not me, and so that’s why when NorCal Hyundai dealerships were offering insane lease deals for an Ioniq 6 SEL, I ended up jumping at it. In a whirlwind three days, I negotiated and picked up the lease and sold my old Bolt EUV.
Welcome the sequel! After nearly two years, I was back for more. Once again it was time to tackle the roadtrip I once called “honestly not as terrible as you’d expect”. Los Angeles to San Francisco on nothing but electrons and a prayer (for no lines at EA chargers). For the original trip, check out part 1.
The day had arrived! Would I have a smooth trip or would I get stranded in Firebaugh, cursed to spend the night at a motel that smells like the cow farm next-door? Let’s find out!
Now that I had a plan to get back the old car, I still needed to get back the new one. Easy enough, just drive back up, right? Well I hadn’t planned to take this road trip in an electric when I came down, so now I was faced with figuring out the logistics with no time to prepare since I had to be back by the next week and it was Friday.
I’ve always been pro-electric.
