Am planning my drive to pick up The Son from #yyj on Friday and discovered that the BC Hydro charging app has a very nice and comprehensive session summary for past charges.

Am planning my drive to pick up The Son from #yyj on Friday and discovered that the BC Hydro charging app has a very nice and comprehensive session summary for past charges.
It's a 2.5hr drive from home or 1.5hr from work, either way Ill need to charge before heading home.
I was trying to remember how long I charged for or what my starting point was, and there it is in the summary: 40min, going from 36% to 79%.
Now I can figure out what time I need to leave home/work to get down there, charge, and grab him from the airport.
️ Need to be at YYJ around 11:10. The chargers are only 5min away in Sydney (literally at the end of the runway lol) so if I'm charged by 11:00 I should have lots of time. So... at the chargers by 10:15.
done.

#evLive #EV #cars #HyundaiKona #Victoria #PortAlberni #VancouverIsland #travelSmall tip from another Kona owner: If you can time it so you do 20-65% instead (if that is enough to get home), you'll save 10 minutes - it's usually around 65% things start to go real slooow on the Kona 64 kWh.

@madsenandersc ya totally! it definitely slows down at that 65-70 point. Unfortunately I need a full 79 or 80% to comfortably cover the 220km distance home!

Yeah, especially on highways and such even 64 kWh depletes surprisingly fast.
