Get familiar with charging points: where, what and how?

Get familiar with charging points: where, what and how?
Usually, when I need to find charging points, I use Electromaps’ application or website. I try to keep up with new charging points through forums, Renault’s website and Facebook.

More charging infrastructure, more EVs on the road

More charging infrastructure, more EVs on the road
I believe the electric vehicle charging infrastructure will improve with the growing popularity of such cars. The world is starting to realize that by adopting zero-emission mobility we will improve sustainability and ultimately, our own lives. Last August, the world exhausted a year’s equivalent of the Earth’s resources, and pollution is higher than ever before.

Common misconceptions about EVs

Common misconceptions about EVs
EVs are uncomfortable: the LEAF drives like a dream - so comfortable, clean and quiet.
 
EVs are slow (like golf carts): To the contrary, the LEAF can out-accelerate just about any car off the line, which comes in handy when you need to get out of a tight situation in traffic.

How you can save money by powering your car with the sun

How you can save money by powering your car with the sun
We Californians like to "grow our own" - gardening is an extremely popular activity here, and in our climate a minimum of investment is rewarded with ample harvests. EV owners can take it a step further, and harvest power to run their car with energy from the sun. We installed solar photovoltaic panels on our home's roof to collect free energy from the sun during the day. The power we harvest is stored in the electric utility grid, which acts like a giant "battery."

How the EV has changed my life

How the EV has changed my life
Owning an EV has changed my life for the better in several ways. Like most people, my schedule is full and my time is valuable. Until I got my EV, I never realized what a nuisance it was having to go to "the fuel store" every week or more, to wait in line with the other "gasser" owners to fill up with the smelly, expensive, highly flammable and carcinogenic liquid we call gasoline.
