Quick look at our charging set-up

Here's a video of our charger and time of use meter set-up at our house.

Fits in a BMW backseat perfectly!

For those needing a booster seat, this one worked great and allows room for our daughter to buckle herself in. Most booster seats won't work as they sit right on top of the latch but not this one. The narrow design towards the bottom of the booster works perfectly. Thanks Wal-Mart!

Charging at a public charger for the first time.

I was in Burbank, CA today and took advantage of a ChargePoint free charge station near the Burbank Media Center Mall. Was super easy to use. The phone app that ChargePoint provides works great too! Thanks ChargePoint!

Here's a video with more info on the exact location in Burbank.

The ActiveE has arrived in Long Beach!

This past Monday we traded in our MINI E after 50k miles for Part 2 in the BMW Field Trial, The 100% Electric, 100% BMW, ActiveE and WOW, what a car. I've driven it 85 miles a day since then and have loved every gasoline free mile. The tech on the car is amazing and the solid, sporty driving experience is top notch. This will soon be our only car as we're selling our Ford and will rent a gasoline car for those times we need to drive a super long distance.

Here's a video taken this past Monday when we swapped cars.

It's not to late to be part of this field trial. You too can be driving a ActiveE. Click here to be taken directly to the BMW Sign Up page.

I'll be updating this blog on a regular basis and will include a lot of pictures and videos.
