Moved the internal battery pack from the D-11 electric motorcycle into the Festiva (took 5 hrs 20 minutes to tear it out and put it into the car vs. just 5 minutes for the external pack) for the cold months and took the Festiva for a shakedown ride to Wyoming Costco and back.
Had 102.4V on the gage left at end of drive (15-20% range left). So range is somewhere between 50-60 miles per charge. 14,481 Miles on Odometer. |

Driving speed of traffic everywhere I go, not driving slower when other cars not around. Installed rebuilt front calipers on 4/18 after trip #19 of month as one front brake was dragging creating lots of waste heat: saw a 10% improvement. Also, warmer weather seems to helps a lot. |

Snow finally came on Dec. 28th. I drove the car in very slippery snow on Dec. 28th and it handles great! After Dec. 28th trip - I did not charge it up, and am leaving it discharged at about 50% State of charge (107 volts) while it waits for clear roads - I don't want to ruin my beautiful little electric with the road salt. Also battery heating and running electric heater hurt my effective range. Also, I'm not confident I can have good enough defrosting of windshield on blizzardy days to come... |

First day with electric vacuum pump for brake assist installed and working.
It's REALLY nice to have good brakes! It's luxurious to only press lightly on the brake pedal with my toe and stop quickly! Before I had to stomp on the brake pedal and was barely stopping in time on occasions in traffic.

Run errands in Holland, (Menards, Aquatic Center, GBS, B&N, Meijers, etc.) Charge at 3 different chargepoint stations during stops (6.05 kWh). 45mph max speed mostly. Only had 2 chargers with me during trip, if had 4 chargers with, could have been fully charged after each stop. As it is, I arrived home with 106.2 volts remaining (about 40% charge left).
Errand Range = INFINITE (when I plug in at each stop)! |

Drive to Jacks for Work, Drive to GH the Lakeshore route, Dinner with Maggie at Taco Bell, Meijers to pick up power strips, GHHS for teacher conferences and home. Nice practical trip. at 100.7 Volts end of drive.
Normal driving technique: drive 45mph without traffic, 55mph when traffic behind.
NOTE: Since I knew I was going to run errands on way home from work, I should have and could have been fully charged before leaving work-site - but, I wanted to see what is possible without charging at work-site. |

Drive Nick to G.H. SOS office to get his new Moped License. Drive 55 with traffic, 45 without.
It was very warm temperature wise (65 degrees), noticed that cruising at 55mph was only taking 10,000 Watts verses 12,000 watts I've been seeing when temperature is 40-45 degrees. |

RANGE TEST: Can I drive 55 Everywhere and still make it home?
To SLAC and back driving 55 when ever traffic present (18 miles),
But, I couldn't help myself, there was no traffic for a few miles so I slowed down because WHY WASTE ENERGY? So, I drove 45 mph for perhaps 5 miles of the trip. |
